Transcription Kimberly Grigg 00:00 Welcome to Decorate Like A Design Boss, a podcast for design lovers who want to create beautiful spaces in their very own homes. My name is Kimberly Grigg, and I'm a professional interior designer who teaches design lovers like yourselves how to decorate. And when I say decorate, I mean decorate like a design boss. If you're ready to create a space that your family loves, and your neighbors can't stop raving about, well buckle up, honey, because it's time to design. Kimberly Grigg 00:34 Well hello there, design lovers and friends, and welcome to another episode of Decorate Like A Design Boss. And today, we're discussing the grand millennial style. What is it? And is it right for you. So, as you all know, on this show we talk a lot about style, your unique style, and fully developing whatever style suits your own personal design DNA. Now, design DNA is a huge topic with me and if you haven't heard about it, well, this is the foundation of good design. Design DNA, let me kind of explain it. It's not your style. But it's your very own fingerprint of the way you like to live, how you like to live that creates an inner peace. And, yes, these things might sound woo but it's very important. It's how I've created successful rooms that look like the people who live in them. My goal is not to create a room that looks like I just left. Instead, my goal is to create rooms that resonate: resonate with the people who are living there, resonate with the people who are embodying the space, and resonate in a way that makes them feel like the room is all about them. It's completely unique to you. It's just like your DNA, your real DNA is completely unique to you. And it is based on an entire set of design decisions that make up the complexity of how you might live best. For example, do you prefer curves or straight lines? Do you like color on your walls, color elsewhere, no color? Do you live better with patterns or solids or combination? And on and on this exploration goes. If you're interested in learning more about your design DNA, and I encourage you to do this, you can access this information in episodes one, two, and three of this very podcast. So let's move on. We all realize that we do need a design style. But let's talk about and explore, is this style, the grand millennial style, for you? What is it? Maybe it is right for you? Maybe not. So let's talk about it. Kimberly Grigg 03:23 So what is it? Well, some would say it's a trend. And you know how I feel about trends. I'm not necessarily a believer in following a trend for the sake of it being a trend. But I am a big believer in problem-solving in the design space. And sometimes some of our problems are that we've inherited a lot of pieces of furniture, we've inherited a lot of things and items that are special to us in some way. And I also rarely run across someone who's going to just give everything away or get rid of everything that they themselves purchased over the years. So it becomes very important to be able to mix and match a myriad of pieces. And I find that the grand millennial style actually allows us to do so. So this trend/style began as a style that...
