A Vintage Revival for the Modern Romantic
What is Grandmillennial Style?
The grandmillennial aesthetic (sometimes known as grannycore) is a joyful return to the traditional interiors we once thought old-fashioned: floral upholstery, scalloped lampshades, embroidered linens, and delicate chintz. It’s a rebellion against stark minimalism and a celebration of cosy, curated comfort. An English cottage with a modern twist and colour palette.
MOODBOARD: Grandmillennial Style
Soft florals, scalloped edges, and timeless charm. I created this moodboard to capture the heart of the grandmillennial aesthetic. Featuring my new Grandmillennial Garden designs in blush pink and powder blue, paired with vintage-inspired textures, classic ticking stripes, and delicate chinoiserie details. It's a celebration of old-fashioned beauty made fresh again, perfect for creating cosy corners, sweet nurseries, and elegant cottage-style spaces.
This style embraces:
Pretty, soft florals
Layers of texture and pattern
Feminine colours like blush, dusty blue, and buttercream
Vintage-inspired accessories
A sense of storytelling through design
Whether you grew up loving your grandmother’s wallpapered sitting room or just crave a softer, more sentimental approach to interiors, grandmillennial is a style that wraps you in comfort.
About the Collection
Grandmillennial Garden is a gentle, nostalgic collection of floral and simple blender patterns in soft pinks, dusty blues and boho neutrals, designed with the feel of vintage linens, heritage wallpaper, and hand-tended gardens.

Every pattern in this series is designed to bring quiet beauty and timeless femininity into your space.
