Everyday Luxury: How Millennials and Gen Z Are Redefining Self-Care
Self-care is no longer an afterthought—it’s a lifestyle priority. Studies show that millennials and Gen Z now account for over 40% of global wellness spending, and the wellness economy is projected to grow to nearly $9 trillion by 2028. For these generations, luxury doesn’t mean excess—it means intention, quality, and rituals that make everyday life feel more grounded.
At IKI+KAI, we believe these moments matter. Inspired by Japandi aesthetics—where Japanese simplicity meets Nordic minimalism—our products are designed to transform the mundane into moments of comfort and satisfaction.
Why Everyday Luxury Matters
Unlike the generations before them, millennials and Gen Z see wellness as non-negotiable. From morning skincare routines to winding down at night, they want experiences that are both functional and emotionally fulfilling. Everyday luxury isn’t about accumulation; it’s about quality over quantity, choosing products and rituals that bring calm, balance, and intention.
This trend is shaping self-care, interiors, and lifestyle choices everywhere:
-
Minimalist Design: Clean lines, soft neutrals, and natural textures create serene spaces.
-
Premium Ingredients: Younger consumers are investing in natural, ethical, and effective products.
-
Rituals over Routines: What once felt like a checklist now feels like self-care moments that enhance wellbeing.
How IKI+KAI Creates Everyday Luxury
Our mission is to redefine self-care through thoughtful, aesthetic lifestyle products. Each creation is crafted to fit seamlessly into the rhythm of your day and night, elevating small acts into moments of comfort.
