Interior Trend: EMBROIDERY
Embroidery dates back hundreds of years, but this art has endured the test of time and made its way to the modern world, with more and more people getting hooked on it. In fact, embroidery is now considered one of the top design trends. It is very now and all over the runway this Fall.
As more people do home renovation projects this year due to the recuperation of the housing industry, new interior design trends have also been adopted, including embroidered home furniture, draperies, and virtually any other materials that could be sewn and stitched. From living rooms and bedrooms to bathrooms and kitchens, embroidery has provided an artistic touch to every home design.
"Embroidered home furnishings – wooden furniture and wood crafts with amazing cross stitch embroidery designs - are the latest trends in home decorating that reinvent ancient traditions and add unique details to modern interior design. Embroidery was a beautiful hobby for centuries. Women created amazing designs on fabrics for centuries. Now modern furniture and decor accessories that feature embroidery are stylish home furnishings that define modern trends." - Lush Home
"Embroidered embellishments add drama and glamour to any room, and they fit perfectly in the emerging combination of contemporary and traditional interior design themes chosen by many homeowners today. Since embroidery makes use of different materials, it is easy to find embroidered materials that fit perfectly to any design concept." - On the Cuff Embroidery
"Headboards and chair backs, drawer front panels and cabinet doors can be decorated with stitches. Wooden decor accessories, like mirror frames, decorative wall panels, wooden boxes, holders and racks with colorful embroidery stitches look amazing. Wooden furniture, felt furniture and decor accessories made of wood or felt look creative and novel with a stitched picture, created with attractive stitches and yarns or twines." - Lush Home
"Fortunately, people pay much more attention to design of their homes nowadays. The desire for eccentricity, individualism has become fashionable as it never was. The interior design is transformed into a luxurious decoration. Wanting to make the apartment more comfortable, cozy, most “personal” and warm, people are returning to the art of hand-making accessories." - Small Design Ideas
"Our customers can see the worth in artisanal embroidery and craftsmanship. The appeal of handcraft has powered the swell in popularity." - Natalie Kingham/matchesfashion.com
"Experimenting with different fabrics, textures and colors is a great way to spruce up basic items. And a great starting point is embroidery! Adding embroidered patterns will instantly give your personal style a little something extra. Embroidery works well on many home décor items such as pillows, dust ruffles and towels, or even slightly more unconventional items like furniture." - Wilcom
"Embroidery may be an ancient craft, but you’d never know it from today's artists. We continue to see the rise (and enthusiasm) of hand-stitched creations. From hyper-realistic portraits to one-of-a-kind clothing to special stationary, embroidery takes many forms. Typically viewed as craft, this medium often straddles a fine line—depending on its application, it too can occupy the art realm." - My Modern Met
"We've seen the emergence of “hoop art” that uses the embroidery hoop as a frame. Here, it’s a nod to the craft aspect (with the hoop) as well as fine art—the original works are displayed like a painting you’d hang on the wall." - My Modern Met
"Portraits have practically been the bread and butter of art for as far back as recorded history takes us. They've never gone out of fashion, and there is certainly a resurgence in the desire for people to commission embroidered portraits." - Craftsy
"You only need to glance around to realize the impact embroidery has had on everyday items, especially with all the recent trends that have been popping up. True to its ubiquitous nature, it continues to be a staple tool of production for many small and large companies as well as becoming a growing form of artistic expression in pop culture and even the commercial world. From embroidery trends in fashion and home wares, to more unconventional trends like embroidered furniture, the software behind some of today’s biggest embroidery innovations has become an essential element to creating modern designs. And all while today’s newest trends are fresh and exciting." - Wilcom
"The re-utilization of embroidery in home decorations can be attributed not only to the appreciation of vintage design incorporation in interior design themes but also to the production of high quality embroidery materials and the modern technology that makes embroidery more efficient. This includes the use of embroidery machines which provide better embroidering accuracy and designs, the production of specialty threads and modern sewing and stitching techniques." - On the Cuff Embroidery
