Newsweek featured Miami-based designer Katie Gutierrez of Errez Design, highlighting her insights on millennial design's evolution. She examined the lasting appeal of millennial pink and the decline of trends like amber glass bottles and matte black fixtures, reflecting a shift toward warmer, more personal interiors.
MIAMI, FL - March 7, 2025 - As design trends shift, certain elements endure while others quietly fall out of favor. Miami-based interior designer Katie Gutierrez, co-founder and principal of Errez Design, has been at the forefront of these conversations, analyzing the trajectory of millennial aesthetics in two recent features-one in Newsweek and another in The Spruce . Her insights illustrate how some of the most recognizable trends of the past decade, from millennial pink to minimalist decor hacks, have evolved over time.

In Newsweek , Gutierrez provided commentary on the decline of several millennial design staples [https://www.newsweek.com/outdated-millennial-luxury-expensive-home-design-hacks-2040042] that once defined the aesthetic of the era. One example she cited was the widespread use of amber glass soap and shampoo bottles-a trend that emerged as a way to create a high-end look on a budget. "Amber glass soap and shampoo bottles were definitely a trend during the age of peak millennial minimalism," she said. "But today, more people are opting for sculptural glass, textured ceramics, or anything that looks collected rather than ordered in bulk." Meanwhile, in a separate feature exploring the lasting appeal of millennial pink [https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-decorate-with-millennial-pink-8756486], The Spruce highlighted how the color, once seen as a passing trend, has instead found a permanent place in design. Gutierrez noted that its staying power is due to its versatility: "Millennial pink didn't just trend-it resonated." She explained that its ability to function as a soft neutral, complementing both bold and understated palettes, has allowed it to outlast more ephemeral color trends.

In Newsweek , her analysis also extended to the waning popularity of matte black fixtures. Once a hallmark of modern design, the finish is increasingly being reconsidered due to maintenance concerns and a shift toward warmer, more inviting materials. "Matte black fixtures were widely used by millennial homeowners, but they're high maintenance and can make even a clean space look marked by fingerprints and water spots," Gutierrez explained. Instead, materials like brushed brass and polished nickel are emerging as favored alternatives that add warmth and depth.

These observations reflect broader changes in design preferences, particularly in Miami, where contemporary interiors have long embraced sleek, modern aesthetics. As the industry moves toward richer textures and more organic finishes, the emphasis is shifting away from uniform, minimalist solutions in favor of more layered, personalized spaces.

Gutierrez's work at Errez Design has often centered around these principles, focusing on creating interiors that are rooted in storytelling rather than passing trends. The firm's approach aligns with the growing demand for homes that feel curated rather than styled to follow a particular moment in design.

As the conversation around millennial design continues to evolve, Gutierrez's insights highlight a key distinction: some elements of the era, like millennial pink, have adapted and remained relevant, while others, such as formulaic decor hacks, have lost their appeal. Her observations suggest that the future of design will be shaped less by broad aesthetic movements and more by intentional, individualized choices that stand the test of time.
