"Grandma core, a spinoff of the cozy decor associated with cottage core, is all about embracing comfort and nostalgia while designing spaces where memories can flourish. The decor found in grandma-inspired kitchens combine heirlooms, vintage kitchen tools, and colorful appliances with a sprinkle of whimsy. The result is not just an atmosphere of welcoming and belonging but also a touch of nostalgia for days gone by."
"Whether outfitting your space with seasonal decorations and inherited knick-knacks or carrying home the soft-glowing lamps you scored while thrift shopping, grandma-inspired kitchen design borrows inspiration from older generations. Blending old and new details emphasizes sentiment over trends. And establishing functional areas for meals to be made, tea to be poured, and cookies to be plated is at the heart of grandma core."
"From inherited valuable silverware utensils to platters found at a garage sale, the shining touch of silver can spruce up home decor. Silver pieces are classic and timeless and don't need to be reserved for a special occasion to be displayed. Don't worry if the silver sets you own don't match. Mismatched silver collections add to the allure of grandma core. Use cornstarch or baking soda and aluminum foil to restore older pieces and watch neglected silver return to its intended sparkle."
