The new home trend that is a sign that you are “young”: Generation Z and millennials abandon traditional decoration elements forever

Wine racks and bar nooks have been commonplace in homes for decades, but now young Australians are making their own morning brew on coffee carts.

Millennials and Gen Z are swapping bar carts for coffee carts as a healthy alternative.

While wine racks and bar nooks have been common in homes for decades, young Australians are now making their own morning brew.

Images of stylish designs have been bombarding social media and Bunnings Warehouse shared a TikTok about how easy it is to make a bar trolley yourself.

Some might argue that owning a coffee cart is the ultimate sign of your age.

‘Home coffee stations are the new bar carts… this coffee cart is the perfect way to grab an espresso, bringing the atmosphere of a coffee shop into the comfort of your home,’ the hardware store stated.

In the clip, a baby changing table was transformed into a stylish coffee cart with three shelves and enough space for cups, cookie jars and packets of coffee beans.

The coffee station was completed with a DIY menu on top using butcher paper.

The rise of take-out coffee carts is likely a result of the cost of living crisis and how a takeout drink can cost up to $7.

The transition is likely due to the cost of living as more young Australians drink less alcohol.

HOW MUCH DOES COFFEE COST IN AUSTRALIA?

Coffee is relatively cheap in Australia.

Our recent survey across Australian capital cities found the average price of a small takeaway flat white at specialist venues is A$4.78.

But in some international capitals, it is almost twice as high, even after adjusting for local purchasing power parity.

In London, a small flat white costs around AU$6.96. In Singapore, AU$8.42. In Athens, up to AU$9.95.

The shift from bar cart to coffee station is also likely a result of young Australians deciding to drink less alcohol.

According to research by Drinkwise, 76 percent of Australians aged 18 to 24 enjoy taking part in social activities that do not involve alcohol and 65 percent would like to drink less alcohol.

Young Australians say they prefer not to have a hangover the next day, with 23 per cent preferring sobriety.

Generation Z is taking the lead in moving away from alcohol in favor of healthier options overall.
