BACK IN STYLE: Skirted Furniture
When it comes to furniture, the
word skirt alone might make you think “Grandma”. It seems unnecessary and sometimes tacky, but read it here
first: this trend is returning to stylish
homes.
Skirted
furniture is reminiscent of the Victorian Era, when the visible leg of a sofa
may have even been considered distasteful. Skirts were elaborate; often gathered with heavy trim.
But these are not the fussy skirts
of yesteryear.
Today,
the trend is taking a much more tailored, structured form. Designers like Mary MacDonald are using
skirts to add an effortless touch of glamour and flair to their work. The addition of a beautiful flat ribbon
trim (think greek key) adds a layer of refinement and beauty while still
looking completely modern.
