Not only have ruffles made a comeback in the fashion world, they’ve also crept into interiors. Any female can probably tell you about a really awesome pair of socks she was forced to wear as a little girl that was adorned with a white ruffle trim. This sweet and dainty accessory has come back to haunt us in a big way.
White Forest Pottery brings us fantastic square ceramic pieces that are inspired by rippling fabric and instill a sense of femininity. Country Living shows off White Forest’s pieces in their February 2010 Issue along with several other ruffle-tastic wares.
Brocade Home and India Rose also heat up the challenge of most ruffled with their selection of bedspreads, duvets and pillows that look somewhat like early 1900’s ladies undergarments. Let’s not forget to mention the ultra savvy ruffled-up laundry bag that also comes from India Rose, which allows you to show off your knack for girly trends while at the laundromat.
