Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Small spaces suit grandmillennial's collected nature. A few chintz pillows, botanical prints, and one wicker piece create the style without overcrowding. For a small bathroom: Small bathrooms (under 40 sq ft) require creative solutions: pedestal sinks or wall-mounted vanities, pocket doors, recessed medicine cabinets, over-toilet storage, and shower-tub combos. Light colors
Large Space Tips
Large grandmillennial spaces embrace multiple pattern mixing, collected furniture groupings, and abundant accessories. Create intimate conversation areas within larger rooms. In a larger bathroom: Large master baths (80+ sq ft) can include double vanities, freestanding tubs, large walk-in showers, dedicated toilet rooms, and ample linen storage. Create distinct zones for different activities.

Grandmillennial is perfect for budget decorating—estate sales, thrift stores, and grandparents' attics yield authentic pieces. Chintz fabric is affordable, and the collected look builds naturally over time.
Luxury Approach
Source museum-quality antiques, commission custom chintz upholstery, collect fine porcelain, and work with designers who appreciate the grandmillennial aesthetic.
