11 millennial lilac items you can buy on Amazon that will make you like your apartment more
Millennial pink may have ruled your Instagram feed last year, but spring is here, so it’s about time you gave your life an upgrade with the color of 2018: millennial lilac. The shade is a subdued, light purple with lavender vibes that will instantly make you feel more relaxed.
“I think we’ll be seeing variations of these dusted plum, amethyst-esque shades in entryways and living rooms,” Behr Paint Erika color expert Woelfel told HelloGiggles. “Lilac feels more grown-up than pink, and creates a welcoming and calm aura.”
