If you’re looking to revamp your home décor and elevate your space, consider our Grandmillennial design scheme.

Rich colors and jewel tones pair perfectly with woven textiles, brushed brass accents and plenty of patterns throughout. Keep reading to find out how to achieve the Grandmillennial look in your own home.
Color Palette
This design scheme utilizes jewel tones and deeper moody hues to create a welcoming and tranquil look. Espresso, deep teal, mossy green and dark blue pair perfectly with creamy neutrals like white and taupe. Paint some of your smaller rooms, like the home office, bathroom or bedrooms, with a darker shade to make a stylish impact. Check out some of the shades used in this design scheme below from Sherwin Williams.
Furniture
Choosing furniture for this design scheme should be a fun mix of antique and vintage finds with modern elements. Pair antique pieces—like a dining table, hutch or chest—and other unique finds with newer upholstered furnishings, such as sofas or chairs. Blending traditional and modern styles together creates a cozy and inviting home.
Accents
Add character and charm to your space with elevated accents. Brushed brass hardware and mirrors add a hint of sophistication and pair nicely with rich colors. Add seagrass accents on various upholstered items like accent chairs, benches and wallcoverings.
Don’t be afraid to really embrace patterns with this design scheme! Mix and match different patterns from this color palette all throughout your home to create a layered look. We love wallpaper, especially in fun floral patterns, on any room in the house. If you’re wanting extra visual appeal on your walls without wallpapering, try adding wall moldings or box trim and paint the entire room a rich hue.
Décor
Now it’s time to bring in the finishing touches. Choose light fixtures that add a layer of whimsy and style to your space, like woven lampshades, unique chandeliers and vintage lamps. Patterned pillows and blankets are a great way to add extra interest and comfort to your living spaces and bedrooms. Take a trip to your local thrift store or charity shop to see what fun knickknacks you can find and give them new life on your bookshelves or styled on your coffee table.
The Grandmillennial design scheme is all about utilizing jewel tones, elevated details and patterns galore to create a layered look. Curate a space filled with traditional and modern elements that will have you and your guests never wanting to leave. Follow our steps to create this look in your own home!
