Tuesday's Trends: Burl Wood

Hello Fabulistas! Design always creates wonderful opportunities to celebrate what may be perceived as imperfections. Burl wood, one of my favorite trends right now, does just that. This abnormal growth on a tree results in swirls and patterns that are simply beautiful. Pieces made of burl wood are extra special and add a unique look to any room. Grounding Swirls You may think that something so unique would overwhelm other textures. Wrong! Here, this burl wood console brings a number of textures and neutral colors together beautifully. What a well-styled vignette!

This cabinet is exquisite. Fashion and interior design are closely tied. This cabinet's mirrored design reminds me of graphic dresses that include abstract, balanced swirls.

Great design isn't always about symmetry, it's about balance.

Create equal but different visual interest on both sides of your space by playing with varying heights, weights, and quantities of your objects on opposing sides.
