Are People Sick of Inspirational Wall Art?

You see it in stores and on social media. The consensus seems to be split on whether inspirational wall art is a good thing or a bad thing. What’s the deal on both sides? Who loves inspirational wall art? Why? Who hates it? Why?

Apparently, Moms Love Inspirational Wall Art

The infamous ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ wall art pieces people either slam or proudly display on social media seem to be under fire lately. Some media sources are boldly claiming that inspirational wall art is out and actually a source of annoyance to some people. However, a group of people are defending it, and it may just be your mom.

It’s been noticed that there is a definite difference between the younger generations’ choice of décor and the boomer generation. While millennials and Gen Z may gravitate towards décor like:

  • Minimalism
  • Mid-century furniture
  • Mismatched plants
  • Murals

Older folks seem to love inspirational wall art, especially the controversial “Live, Laugh, Love” slogan. This seems to be due to their desire to be surrounded by positive affirmations and bright colors, which probably stems from the boomers “get to work and stay positive attitude.” Of course, this isn’t to say that all young people hate inspirational wall art. It probably just comes down to taste.

A Light in Times of Crisis

For example, one mother writes that she bought the infamous sign at a local store after a nasty divorce.

She stated that it reminded her of important things she didn’t have in her marriage, and she had to remember to “live, laugh, and love” often now. That makes perfect sense and actually makes a great case for how inspirational wall art can help people.

The Nay-Sayers

A recent trend has appeared where disillusioned Gen Zers will use the phrase and other popular inspirational wall art quotes in a sarcastic manner. There are even lists that rank the top most annoying pieces of inspirational wall art.

All in all, the overall consensus on inspirational wall art seems split. You either love it or hate it. In the end, though, it really comes down to your personal taste and what you want in your home. Just remember, never insult someone over their own personal home décor choices. If you want inspirational wall art, get the inspirational wall art. If you don’t, just leave it be.
