The Secret Ingredients to Grand Millennial Style

Grand Millennial design is all in the whimsical feminine details.

 

Traditional has returned to favor with a fresh spin. Or has it just caught the eye of a new generation who has transformed it into a lighter, fresher version. This style is grown up more layered and collected. Livable warmth, soft serenity. the Millennials (adults in their mid 20’s to 30’s) have grown up in the sustainable era; Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, was their mantra. So now, they are putting a fresh spin on traditional design. They understand that these vintage pieces have staying power. They want their homes to be welcoming, calm and orderly. Nostalgia that embraces classic, timeless, and elegance. Classic designers such as Billy Baldwin, Dorothy Draper, Sister Parish have inspired today’s designers such as James T. Farmer and Michael S. Smith

 
 

Color Palette

Color can say so much. Especially colors combinations. Traditional colors are Bold and Saturated with red, brown and green or even pale and soft colors in the same family.

Grand Millennial color palette is filled with hues that are fresh, feminine and saturated. Oh so pretty!

Pulling off the Grand Millennial style is really in the details.

Signature Scents that say home

When you walk into a grand millennial home, it smells warm, familiar, and welcoming.

Grandmothers had a way of making their homes smell wonderful with soft floral aromas such as rose, jasmine, and freesia and blending it with fresh scents such as melon or pear.

Oh my! Don’t you just want to give your grandma a big hug? I know I do!

 

Quality matters to you. In essential oils quality matters too. What you put on your body, in the air, or ingest must be pure. doTerra’s essential oils are CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade). Did you also know that doTerra’s lavender essential oil is the industry gold standard?! That’s a big deal! They source where the plant grows naturally and best by the growers who know their crop best. This company treats its growers fairly and sustainably. How you treat people matters. Get started with one of my favorite blends in your diffuser. I’d love to help you get what you need to get your home’s Signature Scent.
