Join Kate and Sophie for this lively discussion as they go through each generation from Gen Z to

Boomers, and debate how each group are seen to approach design differently. From 70s

conversation pits, millennial pink and mid-century obsessions to the old adage of ‘if it ain’t broke,

don’t fix it’, they look at which trends are returning, plus the societal and economical differences

that have played a part in our varying attitudes towards the décor choices we make.

They also share how TV shows have influenced each generation from the wonderful interiors seen in

Sex Education, to the 70s show The Good Life, and the bold and bright style championed by DIY

shows like Changing Rooms. And should Kate, a Gen X’er, be striding out in silver trousers or being

more age typical in sensible burgundy like Sophie? Join the debate in our Facebook group!
