Trendwatch: The New Romantic Home – Frills and Ruffles

Furniture is embracing a playful, romantic twist—volants (ruffles) are everywhere! From lamps dressed in delicate pleats to beds wrapped in soft, frilly covers, even the once unappealing clutter on shelves is now hidden behind folded fabric. This trend adds a cozy, whimsical touch to any home, offering a sense of warmth and charm. The best part? It’s completely adaptable. You can let the frills take center stage in full romantic flourish, or balance it out with a modern contrast – like sleek stainless steel furniture. It’s a look that invites fun, comfort, and a bit of cheeky elegance.

  1. End Table with Valance by Georgia Merritt

2. Stylish cotton bed skirts in many colors and patterns are available at Jotex.

3. Also works well in the bathroom — here in an apartment in Paris 16ème designed by Studio Ines Deschodt.

4. The most beautiful way to hide pots and pans by Bomi. Be sure to check out her Ruffle Pillows too!

5. Another favorite: the Samarcande suspension by Studio Ebur, crafted in Pierre Frey raw silk and adorned with Samuel & Sons silk trimmings. It captures the oriental essence of a palace you’d imagine on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Handcrafted in Italy at a specialized workshop.

6. The Sink wears a skirt!
