What Is Grandmillennial Style? A Look at the Old-School Trend
If you appreciate your grandmother's chintz armchairs and bold patterns, but also like the open spaces and sleek furniture found in the modern homes of your millennial friends, then the Grandmillennial style is for you. It borrows from trends across the span of several decades, resulting in a unique, old-fashioned design with modern twists.
The term "Grandmillennial," which was coined in 2019, combines two very different generations: older grandparents and more modern millennial. In a typical Grandmillennial decorated home, you'll find looks characteristic of the modern era (like neutral colors and clean lines) infused with dated designs like patterns, embroidery and ruffles. The style lets homeowners enjoy elegant, contemporary decor while still inserting bits of their personality, bringing together the best of both worlds.
