Bringing Fashion Home: Sweaters

What better way to style the holidays than wearing your favorite Christmas sweater? Whether thick or thin, these comfy fabrics and cozy textures keep us warm during the cold season. Use a certain print and the right colors to make the desired fashion statement. From vintage to casual to clean cut, sweaters can help build up an outfit using the art of layering. Now you can snuggle into a comfortable sweater on a much larger scale. Creating either an antique or contemporary look depending on the design and color, knit-inspired furniture can decorate a room into something a little bit cozier for your guests this holiday season!

Bringing Fashion Home: Peacock

Trailing down gowns and trimming accessories, peacock feathers are a popular fashion trend that’s fun to flaunt. They can be worn as a headband or hairclip, or something extravagant as a fully patterned cocktail dress. If that’s a bit eccentric for your style, you can still incorporate their jewel-toned hues in your wardrobe. Either way, the feathers definitely give off a glam, lavish style. With fashion inspired by nature, why not bring nature right into your homes! Peacock-inspired furniture can add both an old-fashion or more contemporary look. Create a more antique atmosphere with subtle colors and more modern with brilliant colors of emerald, turquoise, indigo, and purple. From light fixtures to lounge chairs, there’s just something alluring about these vibrant-colored feathers that are sure to catch a look, even at a bird’s eye view.
