Grandma Chic Interiors

'Grandma Chic' or Gandmillenial is the latest trend in interior design.

Granny chic is a design trend that combines traditional elements with modern touches to create a cozy and inviting look. It is characterized by the use of floral patterns, chintz fabrics, lace curtains, and other vintage items. Granny chic interiors are often filled with sentimental pieces, such as family heirlooms and hand-me-downs. The goal of granny chic is to create a space that is both comfortable and stylish, and that evokes a sense of nostalgia.

If you're interested in creating a granny chic interior in your own home, there are a few things you can do to get started. First, start by collecting vintage pieces. You can find these in charity shops, vintage centres, flea markets, and antique shops. Once you have a few key pieces, you can start to build around them. Add in some floral patterns, chintz fabrics, and lace curtains. Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles and patterns. The goal is to create a look that is both eclectic and inviting.

Here are a few more tips for creating a granny chic interior:

Use soft, inviting fabrics. Think velvet, chenille, and lace.
Add in some pops of color with floral patterns and accessories.
Don't forget the details. A few well-placed throw pillows, candles, and vases can really make a space feel cozy.
Embrace imperfection. Granny chic is all about creating a lived-in look, so don't be afraid to mix and match different pieces.

This decor style is colourful, charming, old fashioned, interesting and packed with character. It is the antithesis of minimalism.

It's all the rage with millennials as it includes vintage pieces and recycling, all good things for the environment. To make it less drab, a variety of colours are included in the design. Often, handmade items of crochet, embroidery, knitting and lace add interest with their wide range of colours, patterns and textures. A footstool or poof, preferably round and vintage, gives the design an instant Bohemian look. Firm-backed settees replace the oversized sofas of the 90s, 00s and 10s and look best brightened up with a coloured blanket and mismatched cushions. With this modernised 'old lady' look, any era goes and the more the merrier: this is not a neat or simple look to go for.
