Victorian Maximalism

Like many current design trends, Grandmillennial puts an emphasis on personalization. Old family photos, generational artifacts, and other items that have personal or sentimental significance are right at home here. Some may find the aesthetic cluttered or arbitrary, but that's what makes it appealing and what its advocates find cozy and comforting.

Grandmillennial in the Kitchen

The kitchen is another room in which the combination of old and new takes on a comforting charm, blending modern performance and efficiency with delightful throwbacks to simpler times. Vintage cabinetry and patterned tilework or flooring pair with contemporary touches like dark stone and mixed metal finishes.

The Riff® faucet was inspired by the historical architecture of the South.
