Montage: 20 Spaces with Swings

I’ve been noticing swings in interiors rather a lot over the last year. The plexiglass ones have a retro ’60s look and the rattan harken back to the ’70s. I prefer the cleaner, more architectural designs. I sprinkled in a few summery outdoor ones too.

Montage: 20 Artfully Arranged Afghans

Designers elevated granny chic on spring and fall runways with afghans fashioned as um, fashion. Not sure anyone would actually wear a crochet square getup (other than Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who’ve been spotted with granny square scarves), but the look is taking hold in decors for the under 60 set. A lot of these images are from Flickr, but there’s the usual Anthropologie shot (their displays are always on trend), and a couple from magazines. For additional commentary on the look, see “Trendlet Alert: Crochet” on The Inside Source.

Montage: 14 Rooms with Elephant Decor

I don’t have as many images as I like to present in my montage posts, but I wanted to get this up while the trend was still on the upswing. In absence of image overload, I added captions to each.

Montage: 19 Bicycles in Interiors

Bicycles. I’ve got more than any city apartment should. Four, plus three scooters. In my living room. Unsurprisingly, they don’t look nearly as lovely as the single bikes shown in these interiors. Bikes seem to be the prop of the moment though. I’ve snapped photos of them used in displays in boutiques and restaurants all around the city. I can’t find found my favorite boutique example, the bicycle in Looc in the South End; and here are some others.

Montage: 27 Rooms with Ladders

Ladders have been popular in interiors for a while now, not just to access books, but in bathrooms as towel racks. Even stepladders have been appropriated, sometimes with a tray on top, as side tables. To accompany my piece, “Trendlet: Ladders” on The Inside Source, I’ve put together an expanded montage of ladder decor.
