Designing for Digital Natives: Kitchens & Baths for the Next Wave
Millennials are now the largest home-buying group and Gen Z isn’t far behind. Together, these digital natives are rewriting the rules of what kitchens and baths should be. For them, seamless tech isn’t a luxury, it’s the baseline. Think showers that remember your settings, fridges that sync with your grocery list, and lighting that flexes with your mood. In this high-energy session, designers and product leaders will explore how to create spaces that check all the boxes: connected, customizable, and camera-ready. The takeaway? If you want to win the next wave of homeowners, you’ll need to design for a lifestyle that’s always on.
