## Key points

- Baby Boomers’ long-kept furnishings are back in fashion.
- Younger people are moving beyond stark minimalism.
- Comfort, character and durability are central to the trend.

## Summary

Baby Boomers are being cast as unlikely interior design trendsetters as younger people return to furnishings once considered old-fashioned. The shift reflects a move away from stark minimalism towards homes with warmth, character and personal history.

Designers say younger generations are again embracing dark wood, brass, patterned fabrics, vintage ceramics and decorative objects. My Bespoke Room, which developed 77 living rooms over the past year, found older clients more often wanted to keep treasured possessions and prioritise comfortable, durable furniture; their schemes commonly use warm neutrals, cream, soft blues and greens.
