The old is new and the grandmillennials have shown us why. If monochrome rooms are beginning to look stale and sterile this nostalgic trend will warm your heart. Because grandmillennials are replicating the cozy comfort of their grandma’s living room and making chic.
It’s a revival of traditionalism with a touch of feminine extravagance. It’s also a lean back to quality materials and sustainable living, after generations of minimalists have dumped their grandma’s treasures at their local thrift store to buy the latest fad.
The best way to embrace grandmillennial style is to keep what your grandmother gave you and make it fabulous. But if you’re short on inherited antiques you can buy everything you need to get that ‘granny chic’ look. Think layered florals and ruffled pillows – without the moth-ball scent – and bring a sense of ageless refinement to your home with these 7 items.
