Furry, fuzzy, fluffy: holiday decor with a soft touch
This season, faux furs, wools and other softly textured materials are giving holiday decor a cozy, festive feel.
The trend was prominent at this fall’s Maison et Objet trade show in Paris. Booths were populated with winsome, appliquéd, felt people and animals. Glamorous, jewel-toned feather trees dressed up tabletops. There were furry pillows printed with wildlife photos or embellished with metallic threads, sequins and pearls.
“That natural, organic, homespun feeling was all over the runways and it’s trending at home, too,” says New York designer Elaine Griffin.
