Thanks to Emma Bazilian and House Beautiful as of September of 2019 this resurgence of classical design received an official denomination – Grandmillennial!

While the term suggests an age range for this aesthetic, most grandmillennials agree everyone is welcome! And we fully recognize that it's older generations we have to thank for keeping traditional design around. In fact, many of us site our grandmothers' homes as the inspiration behind our love of antiques, florals, and charming curios.

Grandmillennials, undoubtably, have a nostalgia for the warmth, comfort, and charm they remember from their youth, and a longing to create spaces in their own homes that embrace character, elegance, and whimsy.

In paying homage to the classical design pioneers like Elise de Wolfe, Albert Hadley, Sister Parish, and Nancy Lancaster, grandmillennials hope to bring a fresh perspective to traditional style -- updated to meet today's modern living.

In the Grandmillennial interior, you see traditional motifs and lines but a brighter approach to color; more streamlined, utilitarian furniture; a preppy mix of high and low; and loads of whimsical playfulness!
