Grandmillenial refers to the mixing of a vintage aesthetic with modern color and style. It's a surface pattern designer’s dream trend.
After an extended era of minimalist trends for interiors, the quarantine experience reminded everyone of the importance of our living spaces. A home that includes sentimental keepsakes, vibrant colors, and natural, biophilic design elements helps us feel more at ease and connected. Since then, wallpaper sales have surged as people look for easy ways to refresh their spaces.

This desire to create feel-good environments has sparked a renewed interest in nostalgic looks. Remember when antique furniture couldn’t be given away? Now, a deep appreciation for old craftsmanship has returned, bringing beauty and character back into our homes. This is where my work fits in, along with many other designers who adore florals, ticking stripes, and little ditzy prints. Creating these patterns is truly a joy.

This trend offers so many avenues, from bold patterns to intentionally faded colors. Everything blends together in a comfortable, cozy way. The charm of the Grandmillennial trend lies in its ability to merge the past and present, creating spaces that feel both familiar and fresh.
Sources say the trend will hang around awhile. I’m so glad! What do you think will come next in interior design trends? Share your thoughts and predictions!
