Maybe it's just getting older, but it feels like, all of a sudden, everything I loved in my grandmother's house as a child is topping interior design trends. From brass trays to vintage baskets to antique quilts, I'm coveting all of her favorite home decor in 2026 (it helps that my grandmother has excellent taste). However, one granny chic staple stands a cut above all the rest: the floral sofa.
From Kendall Jenner's mountain house to Zooey Deschanel's New York apartment, the 'dated' look is back with a vengeance. Before it was popular, Natasha Richardson was already demonstrating how to make the grandma chic floral sofa cool in her '80s home. In an archival photoshoot from 1988, the actress posed on her floral sofa surrounded by scalloped floral cushions. It was the perfect complement to her white walls and the simple wainscotting of her window.
