Have you heard of grandpa chic décor? Me neither! Read on and I’ll take you through the features of exactly what is the grandpa chic décor trend and why it could fit snugly into your home décor.
The last few years has seen nostalgia and more traditional styles gain in popularity. According to Better Homes and Gardens , grandpa or country club chic is a key design trend to watch out for.
With rich dark colours, vintage accessories and beautiful artwork, it has a comfy vibe that invites you in and make you want to just relax and go ‘aaaah’. It’s sophisticated, unique and with a masculine touch … like an elderly gentleman’s study might have been back in the day. Unfussy, timeless and abundant. Furniture is worn but not worn out. Enduring quality is the key.
So how does the grandpa chic décor trend fit into the modern home?
Whether you have a new build or a Victorian cottage, living rooms, studies and bedrooms are all ideal spaces for aged items, vintage furniture, and antique décor.
- Warm paint colours and dark wood floors with fixtures in rich golds and brass.
- Personalise the accessories. Add pictures and ornaments that tell a story. Vintage photos, old family photos in old-fashioned frames, maybe an antique clock.
- Layering with vintage books, picture frames, rugs and curtains will add that snug feeling.
Let your imagination ramble.
It’s such an eclectic way of decorating a room, that, in my view, there are no hard and fast rules. Go with your gut – your style, your choice. Always! The result will be a stunning blend of past and present that will bring you deep pleasure every day.
