Creating Granny Chic Decorating on a Budget in Your Home

Creating “granny chic” on a budget is a fun way to incorporate one of the latest fashion trends for your home. “Granny chic” incorporates old items that your grandmother would hav ehad in her home and reinvents them in a new, modern, and contemporary style. Clean lines and colors meets traditional furniture and home decor.   "Grany chic" is one of the latest fashion trends in interior design today.  Purchasing new “granny chic” inspired furniture, wallpaper, and home decor items is really expensive. Here are a few ideas on how to create some inexpensive “granny chic” items for your home.

One of the first principals of “granny chic” is to reinvent something old and put a new and modern twist on it. For the biggest impact I say start with some furniture. If you have any old pieces you can reinvent this will really save you some money. If not, try checking out your local Salvation Army furniture store, the flea market, and any other used furniture sources in your city. If you are lucky enough to still have a grandmother, try asking her if you can raid her attic for unused furniture. If you have a piece of furniture that can be painted, this will make a huge impact. Go for bright retro inspired colors. If you have a nice piece of wood furniture and cannot paint it, try recovering the seat in something fun and funky. Choose unusual fabric you would not expect to find on a traditional chair. Pleather, vinyl, fake fur, and even fleece are all good ideas. Be sure to leave some of the original piece there. After all you are trying to combine the old and the new into something contemporary.
