Simple, modern, clean and comfortable has been leading interior design trends for a while, so it only makes sense that something fresh, different, new (and old) is emerging. Meet the new Grandmillenial style. Think of it as Grandma’s house meets Instagram, with classic, detailed touches used in new combinations and interesting ways.
Grandmillenial design puts your unique personality on display. Rather than calming neutrals and soothing textures, it’s all about moments of interest, surprising patterns, the layering of elements, and letting yourself shine throughout your home. Since more is more here, get out your knickknacks, dust them off and arrange them proudly on your shelves. Group antiques and fun little finds together for completely one-of-a-kind décor. We’ve taken a look through our catalogue to pull the most Grandmillennial pieces from our collection for you. Take a look and see if you can imagine some of these emerging trends in your home.
Hello Grandmillenial
Welcome friends and family into your Insta-ready home with the Magnolia Group’s Manor Cameo Mirror. This unique piece will lend a truly eclectic look to your entryway. With design elements borrowing from the look of an antique cameo, this standout mirror sets the scene for a Grandmillennial-style home. Hung over an entryway table with a few accessories that work to effortlessly infuse your personality into the room, this is a great place to add a touch of metal, a lamp with an interesting detail (like a wicker or pleated shade), and some flowers or a plant. And to make life a touch easier, faux plants and flowers are even encouraged within Grandmillenial style! They’re great because they last forever with little maintenance, just make sure you opt for the most realistic versions you can find.
Floral is A Must
With flowers and florals popping up everywhere, the key is to mix patterns in a way that complements, rather than clashes. The Honnally accent chair has a fresh take on florals. With an abstract floral medallion pattern, this comfy seat adds the right amount of whimsy and Bohemian-chic flair to any room. A round pintuck cushion is the perfect complement to this chair, especially if it comes in a plush velvet.
Unique and Cozy
And finally, this feminine Victorian-style set is ideal for a Grandmillenial bedroom. The ornate styling and standout Antique white finish and gray rub-through creates the feeling of a well-cared-for heirloom piece. With floral motif hardware and traditional carved details, this bed is the perfect cozy, happy place to recharge and relax. The ideal backdrop for this set would be a floral wallpaper, and you’ll definitely need a comforter with a gorgeous pattern for that fresh twist! Blue and white toile has traditional roots for a timeless, easy-to-update touch. Layer fun, interesting throw pillows and a blanket (try a monochromatic plaid, a quilt or even faux fur) and make sure there are fresh pops of color here and there to keep things interesting!
