Putting together a Gen-X room.

Here are just a few of the pieces we've been able to find for our Gen-X room so far. Its something that myself and my wife have been having fun doing together here recently; basically just a hobby and brings back good memories for both of us. Perhaps these may bring back some memories for others as well. #foryou #genx #iykyk #oldschool #memories

... Read moreCreating a Gen-X themed room is not just about decorating; it's about evoking memories and embracing a culture that shaped a generation. Start by sourcing iconic items from the Gen-X era such as the old floor model stereo systems, complete with record players and 8-track tapes. These vintage audio pieces can serve as statement items in your room, sparking conversations and a sense of nostalgia. Consider incorporating furnishings that reflect the style of the times. Look for unique finds like couches adorned with floral patterns, which were all the rage during this era. Mixing these vintage pieces with modern accents can create a harmonious blend of past and present, allowing for a more personalized space. Don’t forget some essential decor elements — think of plastic floor runners and kitschy 80s memorabilia that can inject some fun into your design. Feel free to add posters or artwork that reflect pop culture from the late 70s to the early 90s, that will resonate well with fellow Gen-Xers. Completing your room with the right lighting can also create the perfect ambience. Consider adding vintage-style lamps or neon signs that evoke the lively spirit of the era. Whether you’re solely inspired by nostalgia or looking to showcase your personality, building a Gen-X room is a rewarding project that celebrates memories while creating captivating living spaces.

Stop putting together looks
A huge reason why we don’t know what to wear is we’re copying our outfits from influencers, and therefore the final look feels like a costume. Stop thinking about the clothes. Start thinking about how you want to feel in the clothes. #outfit #ootd
