Interior Design Style Guide: Grandmillennial Style

What is the grandmillennial style? Well, if you love everything about home design then you have to check it out. It’s the contemporary spin on all that outdated furniture you once saw many years ago. That includes fringes on sofas, scallop lamps, and pattern wallpaper all combined with modern pieces to create something completely new! This style takes granny chic to a new level. So, grab those crochet pillows and floral curtains because it’s time to meet the new style everyone is talking about.

People that gravitate towards this style usually show an appreciation to past décor trends and furniture. When broken down, the term “grand” and “millennial” refer to different time periods. “Grand” can be linked back to popular interior trends from the late 19^th century and early 20^th century, whereas “millennial” represents newer interior trends from the present day. Group elements from both periods to get the grandmillennial style. Take a look at some color palettes and furniture ideas that can be found in this style!

Color Palette

Colors used in the grandmillennial style are similar to those in the traditional and bohemian palette. From pastels to whites, these colors offer a soft touch to your furniture, accessories, and wall paint and give off a calming yet exciting aesthetic. Colors like tan, brass, and dove white can all contribute as base colors while bluebell, gold, blush pink, and lemon chiffon are great accents.

Furniture

Furniture that typically falls into this style include sofas with a velvet upholstery, wooden coffee tables, traditional dining tables draped in patterned tablecloth, scallop lamps, bookcases showcasing dinnerware, and more. Pair each traditional piece with some modern highlights to enhance personality in your interior.

Accessories

Modern décor is what brings this grandmillennial style to life! Once you’ve found your color palette and added some stylish traditional furniture, it’s time to accessorize.

Patterned Wallpaper

Wallpaper was all the craze in the mid 20^th century. Anything from animals to flowers to shapes were used in wall decorations. Utilize wallpaper by using it on one wall in your room to make it the perfect accent wall.

Tablecloths

Tablecloths add elegance to your interior. They’re not only great for spills and stains but great at hiding bulky furniture. Consider embroidered silk as your tablecloth.

Vibrant Throw Pillows

Born and raised in Iowa I knew from an early age that I was destined to be some sort of artist or designer. Raised by a stay at home mom with a keen eye for design and an ability to be creative on a budget my love for design took flight.

Celebrate Yourself this Valentine's Day

February 01, 2024

Celebrate yourself this Valentines Day by dedicating time to show your body mind or spirit some love. The post-holiday winter can feel never-ending if you don’t take proper care of yourself and dedicate time for hobbies and rest. Find something new to try, rather it’s a hobby that has always sparked your interest or something that has enticed but intimidated you.
