Home decor trend alert! Fringe benefits

Want to know the latest look in home decor? Put a fringe on it

Tassels and fringing were a prominent fashion feature on the Autumn/Winter 18 fashion catwalks and this retro look is now making its way into our homes in 2019. The look can be introduced to your home on lights, mirrors, furniture, cushions and other accessories. It is a great way to add some fun and texture to sleek, minimalist spaces.

Here are a few key ways to easily introduce the new fringing style to your home.

Fringed furniture
Fringed furniture is definitely a more prominent retro fringed look and will appeal to those who really want to embrace the trend and turn heads. Many furniture pieces can be ordered with a fringe added to the bottom such as sofas, footstools and occasional chairs. We love the look for the velvet fringed sofa and chair in the top picture, available from GlobeWest.

Fringed cushions and other accessories
Add a few cushions with a fringe to your space as a small introduction to the trend. Mix and match them with regular cushions. Fringes work well with a knitted texture and there are even sparkly and metallic options available. Doona covers, wall hangings, even baskets are just a few other ways to add this trend to your home.

Fringed tiebacks
You could go all out and add fringed curtains to your room but a cute and easy idea is to scale it down and add simple fringed tiebacks instead.
