USA: Younger generations, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, are reshaping home design priorities towards functionality, adaptability and long-term usability, according to insights shared at the 2026 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show. Influenced by financial pressures, housing instability and broader uncertainty, they prefer efficient and flexible spaces over large or decorative ones. Premium design is increasingly defined by performance rather than size or aesthetics. Homes are also becoming more central to daily life, with kitchens serving as multifunctional spaces for work, socialising and living. This shift is driving a broader move towards practical, resilient and experience-focused home environments.
