The rise in downscale living within the urban and suburban living spaces continues as socioeconomic and environmental factors such as rising energy cost, soaring rents and space scarcity persist.
Ideally practical and beneficial for all age groups, this lifestyle is mostly popular among Gen Z and Millennials, mainly individuals who have recently entered the workforce and Boomers, who are ready to downsize from their single-family homes. In this edition, I wanted to show some of our latest and ongoing collections that are suitable for apartment/condo living, without compromising on style or overspending your customers' budget.
