    Solution

    Grandiose means impressive and imposing in appearance or style, especially pretentiously so. Therefore, 'unimpressive' is the antonym of 'grandiose'. Unobtrusive means not conspicuous or attracting attention. Unimposing means not imposing or impressive in appearance. Simple means easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty.
