It’s time to embrace the bejeweled. According to Etsy’s holiday trend report, searches for bedazzle kits are up 61%, and trend forecaster Mandy Lee is encouraging us to go all in on things that are delightfully over-the-top. Lee calls it “Merry Maxxing,” and we’re particularly interested in one sparkly offshoot: stylish bedazzling.
But why should the holidays have all the fun? A little glitz and glamour can be just as appealing in April as it is in December. And we’re not necessarily talking about taking a hot glue gun and a bag of rhinestones to everything you own. Today’s bedazzled decor is surprisingly sophisticated: a beaded lampshade, a gleaming silver table lamp, or a tiny accessory that looks like it belongs in your jewelry box. Consider these pieces the decorating equivalent of putting on your favorite statement earrings with jeans and a white tee.
Sophie Lou Jacobsen Aperitivo Bowl Set
The designer’s entire Disco Aperitivo collection is a perfect example of when deliberate excess goes exactly right. Swarovski crystals embedded into the sides of coupes, plates, and, in this case, smoky glass bowls. Potato chips have never looked so good.
MG & Co. Polka Dot Matchbox Sleeve
Even the humble matchbox deserves a little bling. This silver-finished brass sleeve, complete with embossed polka dots, turns an everyday necessity into a tiny treasure worth leaving out on the coffee table.
Studio Solhem Darya Lampshade
Who says lampshades can’t wear earrings? With its hand-painted black swirls and dangling gold squiggles finished with delicate pearls, this shade is accessorized better than most of us.
Crate & Barrel Bowery Silver Table Lamp
Inspired by a vintage ring, this lamp from Laura Harrier and Tiffany Howell’s Crate & Barrel collaboration (a Good Design Award winner!) features an actual tiger’s eye gemstone set into its sculptural metal base. We’re calling it one big bedazzle.
Claude Home Nocturne Table Lamp
With its quirky four-legged silhouette, lustrous finish, and tiny floral embellishments, this handmade stoneware lamp is basically a sculpture. Even the pull chain gets dressed up with a little bloom.
Home on Center Argonne Ottoman
Some velvet, some brass, and a whole lot of personality. With its scalloped berry-red base, mustard-yellow top, and studded brass details, this tulip-inspired ottoman proves that even the most practical pieces of furniture can benefit from some decorative flair.
Cynthia Rowley Brass Cabochon Vase
Cynthia Rowley’s brass-finished creation is zhoushed with glass cabochons, making it look like something you’d find in a fabulous vintage jewelry collection. No need for showy florals with a vase like this.
Emma Chamberlain x West Elm Embellished Button Pillow Cover
Emma Chamberlain’s West Elm collab makes a compelling case for never throwing away a spare button again. This red throw pillow is part grandma’s sewing basket, part maximalist masterpiece.
Terrain Starry Glass Serving Platter
Consider this your official permission to bring a little celestial sparkle to the dinner table, no special occasion required. Hand-painted in Turkey with a constellation of stars, this glass platter makes even a humble cheese-and-cracker situation feel like a celebration.
Handmade Mexican Tin Mirror
Handmade in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, this arched tin mirror features a crownlike frame with scalloped points and tiny metallic baubles. It’s practically wearing a tiara.
