Whether you're looking to create a renewed aesthetic for hand-me-downs you've inherited or you desire a cozier atmosphere than the all-white spaces seen on Instagram, it may be time to lean into "grandmillennial" style.

Last found in your grandparents' homes, it's the design a lot of us grew up with but with a modernized twist. The rise of rattan, wallpaper and houseplants spurred the return to a maximalist granny aesthetic. Now the trend encompasses everything from skirted sofas to braided rugs.

Those who are drawn to grandmillennial design don't follow trends but rather find their contentment in the classics. Keep scrolling to see our picks for injecting this always of-the-moment style into your home.
