GRAND MILLENIAL

Grandmillennial style began gaining popularity in the late 2010s and early 2020s, primarily in the US. The style is a response to the minimalist and modern trends, to bridge the past with the present by celebrating vintage and heirloom decor in a fresh, youthful way, while emphasizing personality and warmth in home design. This style appeals to those who want their spaces to feel layered, cozy, and storied rather than overly curated or sterile.

Here's how to express your style...

The interior details of Grand Millenail design have a classic and timeless appeal to allow the decor to shine. Molding and decorative trim is key with wainscoting, picture rails, paneling, beadboard, coffered ceilings, and medallions around fixtures. Focal points like built-in bookcases, fireplaces with detailed mantels, and arched doorways create architectural interest and a sense of history.

Grandmillenial interior finishes embrace the vintage charm with contemporary elements to create a space that feels nostalgic yet fresh. Vintage inspired finishes are chintz and embroidered textiles, damask and toile wallpaper, & woven wood rattan elements. While more contemporary finishes like geometric patterns, bright brass, and rich burled wood bring contrast to the vintage sophisticated space.

Grandmillenial lighting reflects a nostalgic and playful charm while incorporating the modern functionality. Decorative lanterns with scalloped details create a statement piece, paired with candle style sconces provide vintage feel. Bright colored or brass bow detailed lamps bring whismy and fun into the space.

Grandmillenial decoration is a careful curation that celebrates both nostalgia and contemporary living. From antique floral print art to family heirlooms like chinoiserie or china to stacks of vintage books, there is a sense of history and uniqueness. While modern patterned pillows and glass vases with floral bring a cozy freshness to the space.
