Whether you are a millennial or not, you are likely familiar with the so-called Grand-millennial design style. It was defined by the House Beautiful magazine in 2019 and it has been embraced since. It is a style that resembles the grandness of the 1980’s interiors and the main followers of it are millennials. Through it, they honor their grandparents and the way they decorated homes a few decades ago. The style is traditional, it has a lot of china, antiques and furniture classified as vintage.

Key Takeaways:
