My first foray into the world of decorative fringe occurred between the ages of six and eight, in the form of a much-sequinned tap-dancing costume. Years later, however, my perspective is different. I now prefer my fringe in the form of elevated decor that renders any room it inhabits instantly more playful.
Here’s the thing about fringe, though: It’s not the easiest textile to work with. Sometimes (in the case of my tap-dancing costume of yore), it can come across as cheesy or a little too flapper-inspired. Nevertheless, in the best instances, it gives off just the right amount of Art Deco flair. It helps when it comes in a trendy hue, like soft salmon pink or even bold chartreuse. It’s also best when paired with other higher-end materials like sumptuous velvet or glamorous brass.
Depending on how they’re styled, fringed lamps can give off Hollywood Regency extravagance or offer a more bohemian touch of texture. Fringe-lined mirrors create focal points on otherwise boring walls, and the perfect fringed chair or sofa brings plenty of whimsy wherever it’s placed. Truly, no textile is quite as delightful.
The right fringe piece can instantly give your interior a more festive, whimsical vibe. The result might even compel you to break out into song and dance. Shop our favorite fringed finds below.
