Millennial Pink

Paul Simonon once said "Pink is the only true rock and roll color". Whether you realize it or not, you've seen Millennial Pink everywhere and it doesn't clash (get it?). Millennial Pink actually emcompasses many different shades of pink, and has many different names. These pinks are a range of shades of beige with a touch of blush, to peach and rose quartz, to a poppy barbie-toned pink.

If there's one thing that's true about Millennials, it's that we don't like to be categorized and labeled. And we hate the word Millennial. Nevertheless, this Millennial Pink is a color many of us can't seem to get enough of (I'm guilty).

Hygge

By now you've probably heard of the ever popular design trend sweeping the globe: Hygge. We've all seen what's become the Instagram photos of the cozy unmade bed with breakfast and a cute coffee mug, and we can thank hygge for that. The Dutch know Hygge (hue-guh) as simply acknowledging the beauty of the moment you are in, whether it's a simple night in with friends or the morning routine of making coffee. We've simplified it to mean "cozy interiors" but it is so much more than that! For the sake of design, let's look at the top 4 ways you can incorporate hygge into your work.
