‘Florence’ wallpaper styled and photographed by Brownlow Interiors

Grandmillennial (also known as granny-chic) is a design trend that has been adopted by the Millennial generation as an ode to the decor that they grew up with as children. 

Full of more ‘traditional’ pieces such as floral chinoiserie prints, china plates, and mixed-patterned soft furnishings, this style is the polar opposite of the popular Scandinavian minimalist look. 

What I love most about the ‘Grandmillennial’ look is how it can really make your home feel elevated, luxurious, and beautiful! What better way to style your home than with a timeless and magnificent interior design style.

There are so many simple ways to bring this interior decorating style into your home, here are some of my favourites…

Chinoiserie wallpaper with repetitive floral patterns is a perfect fit for the Grandmillennial style. You can pair this with simple, sleek, light furniture for a more modern take on the trend, or go all out with some beautiful and ornate vintage pieces! 

Decorating your sofa or windows with beautiful bold patterns can help to bring the room to life and infuse it with a sense of grandeur and ‘past-times’. 

You can play with the colour-ways and opt for dainty blue and white combinations (a classic choice!) or try out some more playful colours like bold yellows or greens. 

Giving your tableware a little bit of love can tie everything together and add those charming final touches. 

Having a matching set is the key to this look (although I do love a mix-and-match china tea set!) and really encapsulates the vintage feel that comes with the Grandmillennial interior design trend. 

Tassels immediately add that granny-chic feel to your home decor. Giving your cushions or lampshades a tassel trim is a beautiful and easy way to bring in some more luxurious Grandmillennial style (and you can even DIY it!)

 If this is your kind of style then make sure you check out The Haverhill Home on Instagram for some gorgeous Grandmillennial inspiration…

 A few years ago I collaborated with Rebel Walls to design for them this ‘Chinoiserie Chic’ wallpaper which fits in perfectly with Grandmillennial decor! 

I love seeing how everyone styles this wallpaper in their home and I can't wait to share the full details with you! But for now, here are some of my favourite Grandmillennial interior stylings…

If this is your kind of style then make sure you take a look at Lily Allen’s maximalist house! Her home is full of stunning antique furniture, floral wallpaper, and botanical chinoiserie artwork - it’s a chinoiserie chic dream! 

I’ve always been a lover of ‘vintage’ and ‘Grandmillennial’ decor styles. I’ve even decorated, (and then re-decorated!), most of the rooms in my home into extraordinary chinoiserie maximalist havens! Take a look here.

The Grandmillennial look is something that can be personalised and adapted to your individual taste easily! You can adopt this interior design trend in as many big or small ways as you like.

What do you think of the Grandmillennial style? Is this something you could see yourself embracing?
