Vintage-inspired bedding and ‘grandma chic’ trends rise in home decor

Current home decor trends are shifting toward vintage-inspired aesthetics, often referred to as ‘grandma chic’. This movement emphasizes layered textures, botanical embroidery, and nostalgic patterns like tartans and ginghams.

Anthropologie’s fall collection highlights this trend with ivory tones, ruffled borders, and floral flourishes. Other emerging color trends include ice blue and earthy palettes such as moss green and faded plum.

In the New Zealand market, consumers are moving away from neutral greys and whites in favor of playful prints, candy-colored stripes, and dopamine-boosting tones. Popular options include striped linen bundles, bamboo sheet sets, and gingham patterns from various retailers.
