Grandmillenial. Granny–chic. Whatever you call it, it’s a whole new style emerging on the scene. One that may take you back to your childhood if you are a child of the 80’s. But ironically it’s the millennial crowd jumping on board to Grandma’s style of cozy comfort.
On a recent trip to Grandma’s house, I was taken back to my childhood when I noticed many things had not changed or been updated. One look at my grandmother’s china, proudly displayed in the china cabinet, caused me to reflect on the current design trends sweeping our country. Like it or not – it’s the latest and greatest décor trend you will see in every decorating magazine and trending Instagram accounts.
Do you remember the Laura Ashley floral comforters or the Jessica McClintock dresses? Yep, had one of each. Or maybe you can recall the infamous wicker peacock chairs? Just pull out a school dance or graduation picture from the 80’s and you’ll probably see it. And let’s also not forget the ginger jars or other chinoiserie piece that you probably broke as a kid at some point. All of these make up the components in this latest craze of granny chic.
Being in the staging business we can’t really fall head over heels into one style, but we can incorporate pieces from different styles. This style is VERY taste specific so you won’t see it in a lot of home staging projects but there’s always room to mingle accessories into transitional styles.
And like most of you, maybe you don’t want to commit to this style, but it might be fun to use subtle pieces around the house to remind you of where you came from. We went to Amazon to find some great pieces to incorporate in any style you may have in your home. Each gives just a nod to this decor trend but none of them scream grandma.
