Cottagecore vs Grandmillennial
A side-by-side comparison to help you decide which design style fits your space and personality.
Cottagecore
Cottagecore is a love letter to the countryside. Floral prints, vintage kitchenware, handcrafted textiles, and the smell of something baking in the oven. It romanticizes rural life and brings pastoral charm into any home, from an actual farmhouse to a city apartment.
Grandmillennial
Grandmillennial design is a loving reclamation of traditional decorating. Chintz florals, scalloped edges, wallpaper, and antique furniture, elements that were dismissed as "grandma's house," are back with a modern twist and a sense of humor.
