Embellishments

Sometimes interior spaces can lack that little sparkle and allure that distinguishes a plain and boring space from a stylish designer room. This summer season, home interiors are all about EMBELLISHMENTS that transform any room into a visual feast of pattern, colour and movement. From stylish bohemian tassels and fringing to traditional embossed fabrics, beads and sequins; embellishments come in a wide range of styles to suit both contemporary and classic home interiors.

If you love movement across your soft furnishings then why not opt for some fringes and tassels that will create a laid back and chic look in any bedroom or living room area. A set of suede or linen curtains in a beige or biscuit colour scheme will look fabulous with fringed edging or beaded tie backs to create a laid back and stylish finish within your room. This style of curtains that can be further complimented with some stylish fringed cushions featuring bold patterns embroidery that will give your home a relaxed Moroccan inspired feel and finish. Combine with some fringed bean bags, wall tapestries and rugs in natural style fabrics and patterns.

For more traditional and period style home interiors then why not opt for some embellished wallpaper that features classic floral prints or rococo style patterns that can be given added embellished detailing with metallic, embossed or flocked finishes. Classic black and white designs will create a sleek and sophisticated finish within your home interior while more opulent red, green and blue designs will create a more visual focal point within your home. If you want to opt for all out glamour and the ultimate ‘wow factor’ in your chosen room then why not opt for a crushed glitter wallpaper that can be used to create texture and embellishments across a plain feature wall or alcove and chimney breast area.

If your furniture is looking a little tired but still has plenty of life left then you could give it a face lift with some eye catching handles, features and fixtures that will create an embellished finish across your items. For a bright and opulent finish then why not update some painted or high gloss furniture with some crystal or coloured glass drawer and door knobs that will add some glittering visual impact within your room. More traditional oak, walnut and mahogany furniture items can be embellished with some ornate scroll or floral shaped handles and knobs that are complimentary yet still stand out within your chosen space. If you are feeling artistic then your could try your hand at some decoupage on your drawer fronts, doors or table top areas that can be co-ordinated to your wallpaper, cushions, bedding or curtains to create a fluid and universal finish within your chosen space.
