Cozy. Curated. Full of charm.
The Grandma Chick trend (also called "Grannycore" or "New Traditional") is sweeping through interior design - and we're here for it.
Whether it's floral wallpaper, vintage lamps, or a velvet armchair with real character, Grandma Chic is all about bringing comfort and personality back into our homes. At Missouri Furniture, we love helping customers design spaces that feel personal and layered - and this trend is the perfect excuse to mix the old with the new.
What is Grandma Chic?
Grandma chic is a decorating style that blends traditional, vintage, and heirloom-inspired pieces with modern touches. Think Floral prints, needlepoint pillows, ornate rugs, fringe, doilies (yes, really!), and cozy layers paired with updated silhouettes and fresh color palettes. It's not about making your home look like your grandma's, it's about taking what's beloved and timeless and giving it a new twist.
Why is it so Popular Right Now?
- Comfort-First Living: Post-pandemic design has shifted toward comfort, softness, and soul. Grandma Chic is a big, cozy hug for your home.
- Sustainability: People are increasingly drawn to pieces that last. Vintage styles and well-crafted furniture represent lasting value.
- Personal Style Reigns: Cookie-cutter looks are out. Homeowners want spaces that reflect them, and Grandma Chic encourages individuality through layering, pattern mixing, and storytelling.
How to Bring Grandma Chic Into Your Home
1.) Start with One "Grandma Core" Statement Piece A floral armchair. a scalloped-edge cabinet. A ufted velvet ottoman. At Missouri Furniture, our custom furniture options let you choose patterns, trims, and textures that lean toward traditional or whimsical without sacrificing modern function or comfort.
2.) Layer in Cozy Accessories Grandma Chic is all about rich layering. Add:
- Patterned rugs
- Throw blankets with fringe or crochet edges
- Embroidered pillows
- Vintage-inspired lamps (especially with pleated shades or glass bases)
Pro tip: Our stores have entire vignettes built around this layered look - stop in for ideas or ask one of our in-home design consultants to help!
3.) Mix Florals, Stripes, and Texture. Don't be afraid to mix prints. A floral chair with a plaid pillow and a needlepoint wall piece? That's exactly the vibe. Our design team can help you find the right balance so it feels chic, not chaotic.
4.) Bring in Sentimental Touches Whether it's a vintage-looking clock, a framed botanical print, or a stack of books with personality layered in accessories that feel like they have a story.
5.) Update with Modern Contrast To keep your space feeling fresh, pair all those cozy details with:
- A modern coffee table
- A clean-lined sofa
- Brass or black hardware
It's that blend that makes the look feel current - not costume-y.
