Have You Heard of Granny Chic Décor?

With over half the year gone, eyes are to the future and coming trends for next year in interior décor. And one area seeing a lot of emerging new trends is wall décor. Graphic stick-on wallpaper, industrial accessory styling, and granny chic décor are toping the emerging trends list. And granny chic décor gets our vote for favorite style with its nostalgic décor that evokes feelings of comfort and familiar love. The style is a modern revival of traditional, homey design elements including floral prints, ornamental crocheted or knitted detailing, and vintage furniture; but executed with contemporary flair so the trend reads as something inspired not retired.

Heritance® Hardwood Shutters Miami, Florida (FL) popular granny chic décor with floral prints and natural woods.

For example, floral prints play a large role in granny chic décor, but there’s a big difference between dated floral prints from the 1950s versus modern styles seen today. Modern prints tend to have more expressive use of color whereas older styles are often muted. Granny chic floral prints might use abstract or geometric design work in the flowers and petals, which isn’t seen in traditional floral prints whose flowers all tend to be depicted in realistic or semi-realistic styles. Or sometimes it’s proportions that look from dated to in demand; take for instance a classic 1950s floral rose print but enlarged to 3 or 4 times the traditional size. This bold print would have the feel of your grandma’s old wallpaper but with a modern, dramatic presence suitable for the 2022 design. In granny chic décor there are several ways to use floral prints including wallpaper, accent pillows, and window treatments.

The Hunter Douglas Design Studio collection includes exclusive prints and floral patterns that look great in granny chic décor. The fabrics are available inside panels, drapery, roller shades, and Roman shades; so, no matter your tastes there is a fabric and treatment combination that can work for customized, granny chick window fashions for your home.

Another common element in granny chic décor is the use of natural wood colors. The neutral tones worked well with the pastel color schemes popular in the 1950s; in modern granny chic décor the neutral tones root design offering a great natural balance to more dramatic elements like floral prints. So, if say you had a floral print couch in your living room, a set of hardwood shutters on the windows in that room would balance the floral flair, and the wood and flowers work well together as complementary natural design elements.

Heritance® Hardwood Shutters from Hunter Douglas are classic, plantation-style shutters that can be modernized for granny chic décor by playing with color and proportion. Traditional shutters had smaller louvers, usually around 2.5 inches, and used natural wood tones. By switching up one of those design elements (color or louver size) you can create custom shutters that feel grandma-familiar and yet also modern and chic, which is the heart of great granny chic décor. Hunter Douglas hardwood shutters come in a range of colors and louver sizes (2.5-inch, 3.5 inches, or 4.5 inches) so you can mix bolder colors with smaller louver sizes or keep traditional colors but opt for larger louver sizes.
