Shade up your decor with these quirky ombre do-ables.
In
the fashion world, we’ve seen the ombre trend in everything from clothing to nail polish.
Little by little, textiles in the ombre style are finding their way into home
decor. From the French, meaning “shaded,” ombre refers to a centuries old
technique for dyeing or weaving fabrics.
The process is used to create a gentle
progression of color from light to dark. Depending on the depth of tones and
the range of the gradation, the effect can be dramatic or ethereal. Ombre
textiles can add a light and airy feel to any space.
They can also lend a
nature-inspired touch to your home, as ombre shades can echo the deepening red
and orange tones that are found in a summer sunset, the blues and greens of
tropical ocean waters or the edging of blush to dark pink on rose petals.
