How to add Grandmillenial Style to Your Home

Pieces of vintage looking furniture, ruffles, pleats and fabric patterns like toile and chintz are making a comeback as the grandmillenial style is gaining traction. Granny chic combined with modern elements resulted in a put-together decorating style that looks cozy and layered.

The elaborate look of the grandmillenial style can seem intimidating but really, it can be done even on a low budget if you’re willing to create a few projects yourself. Carefully selected layers of patterns, matching colors, and textures are not that difficult to pull off. You may need to practice some restraint to avoid a kitschy look. Or just embrace it!

 

I absolutely love this nostalgic but lively decorating style so I am sharing some of my favorite DIY grandmillenial embellishment ideas you can use as inspiration to create your dream home.
