I'll admit it: when grandma-inspired florals began to make a reappearance in the design world, I was sure that their popularity wouldn't last. It might look charming, but this nostalgia-driven aesthetic is, after all, destined to look dated, and I didn't believe it would stick around.
Years later, I'm realizing how mistaken I was – and the turning point happened to be a snapshot of Zooey Deschanel. Naturally, Zooey herself is the star of the photo, but I found myself captivated by her upholstered couch. It was the ultimate sign that the 'grandma chic' aesthetic really isn't going anywhere, and its success rests on some truly stunning patterns.
