Young adults around the world offer a glimpse into their most sacred place: their room

For teenagers and young adults, a bedroom is part sanctuary, part canvas. Itโ€™s often the only place in an apartment or house that they can decorate to their tastesโ€”at least, as their budgets allow. Posters, desk lamps, rugs, and collages all carry extra significance as a reflection of a young personโ€™s evolving sense of identity.

But how does the culture that young people grow up in shape their aesthetics? Quartz asked seven members of Gen Z from around the world to give us a glimpse into their rooms, and, by extension, their inner lives.
