A Grandmillennial Oasis
Reviving Tradition with Rowan Hall Interiors
Step into the enchanting world of grandmillennial interior design, where timeless elegance meets playful sophistication. In this blog post, we’re breaking down our latest grandmillennial living room project, where traditional design elements are reimagined in a vibrant and modern context. At Rowan Hall Interiors, we pride ourselves on crafting spaces that seamlessly blend classic charm with contemporary flair, creating personalized havens that reflect the unique tastes and lifestyles of our clients.
At Rowan Hall Interiors, our goal is to transform spaces into sanctuaries—places that feel cozier, brighter, and more luxurious. Drawing inspiration from the classic silhouettes and a little bit of frill, our team of interior designers brought our clients’ vision to life in a great room update. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for timeless design, we curated a space that exudes warmth, character, and charm.
Customized Color Palette and Thoughtful Updates
Our signature approach to design begins with a deep understanding of our clients’ preferences and lifestyles. By maintaining a neutral base with rich gray walls and a neutral sofa, we provided the perfect canvas for our vibrant color palette to shine. Custom window treatments, patterned throw pillows, and custom boucle chairs in coordinating peach hues added layers of texture and visual interest to the space.
To prep the space for the luxurious furnishings we would be adding, we needed to update the room’s foundation. We began by refinishing the existing fireplace surround with a white marble tile. The clean, classic look of the herringbone pattern next to the original stained mantel seamlessly merged traditional charm with contemporary elegance.
We also painted the walls and ceiling to achieve a base palette that would compliment our design plan. Our professional paint colorist opted for deeper shades that would make the room feel cozier. The ceilings were tall enough and the room was large enough that the space could handle a more mid-tone gray without feeling too dark. This paint choice actually makes the final design feel even more quaint and classic.
Playful Details and Maximalist Approach
One of the hallmarks of grandmillennial interior design is the incorporation of playful details that add whimsy and charm to the space. At Rowan Hall Interiors, we love to embrace this maximalist approach, allowing creativity and personality to shine through in every design. Tassel trim and florals, once considered outdated, were reintroduced in an updated way, bringing traditional design elements into the modern era. This thoughtful blending of old and new creates a space that feels fresh, inviting, and full of character.
Like any true interior designer, Alfie loves the opportunity to play with all types of design aesthetics. While she loves incorporating antique pieces and vintage finds into her own home, some clients prefer a more minimalistic and current approach. Overall, design has trended away from big, colorful florals and frilly accents. At her 2023 trip to High Point Market, Alfie got a sense that the industry would be moving back towards more traditional, feminine, and whimsical design. This project is just a taste of what is to come!
