While Gen X & Gen Y may be different in many other areas, one thing they do have in common is what they are looking for in their kitchens. Here is a list of 5 things that both Gen’s are looking for in their kitchens:
- Easy to use technology that is quickly learned and can incorporate Bluetooth technology for smartphone or tablet use
- Clean, modern look and lines of transitional design – staying simple but not too trendy
- White and off-whites - think shades of gray…for the kitchen, NOT the other one!
- Expanded kitchen spaces – eliminating formal dining rooms, living rooms or both to create larger, multi-functional areas in the home that are comfortable, easy to use that allow multiple functions such as cooking, socializing and more to all occur simultaneously.
- Budget conscious…but not price sensitive. When they know what they want, they go for it, possibly splurging on one item with a striking feature or as a focal point but keeping the rest of the project and budget in perspective when they do.
These similar preferences for kitchens are just a few of the many that both Gen’s have. Both Gen X and Gen Y do much of their homework before they ever meet with a designer, bringing these ideas and more to the (kitchen) table!
