Trending – Grandmillennial

The popularity of the Grandmillennial trend is bringing ‘granny chic’ back into style. By incorporating retro elements with a modern-day design, you can be the envy of all of your guests – think vintage furniture and trendy accessories. Now, you may be wondering how it all works, well we’re here to show you just how wonderful this combination of modern vs traditional styles perfectly pairs together.


What is the Grandmillennial style?

The essence of the Grandmillennial trend is the beautiful pairing of new and old-style in a complementary fashion. It celebrates retro designs repurposed for a contemporary setting in a way you’re sure to swoon over.

This design trend is surprisingly easy to incorporate into your home, think tassels and fringing on your furniture, blue and white ceramics, ruffles, and mid-century modern pieces. Essentially, this trend is all about pulling on your nostalgic strings and incorporating a traditional, retro twist in your home.

How can I get Grandmillenial style?

Patterned vinyl flooring is a fantastic way to bring a touch of retro-inspired design into your home. From beautiful Boho tile effect flooring that simultaneously adds an on-trend antique yet modern look to any area, to trendy Trellis tile effect sheet vinyl flooring that incorporates colour and character into your room of choice.

Patterned vinyl adds something special to your home, as well as being incredibly versatile, comfortable underfoot and ideal for the busiest of rooms.

Another way to adapt this trend in your home is by incorporating traditional accessories into your existing modern interior – this is a good idea if you want to dip your toes into this trend as you can always swap them out when you fancy a change. Now when we talk about traditional interiors, we’re picturing tasselled lampshades, pink velvet soft furnishings and needlepoint cushion covers. So, it’s really up to you how many of these accessories you inject into your home and which ones complement your personal style.

Grandmillennial style is all about pulling on your nostalgic strings and incorporating a traditional, retro twist in your home. Give a fresh take on an old-fashioned look and make it your own with this current interior trend.
