I think it’s gorgeous on some of the furniture you’ve shown. I also think my pit bull rescue would really love it, so no I don’t think fringe will be found anywhere in my house other than a decor magaine!

In reply to Julia. I just looked it up! I could see that looking fierce in just the right place, especially the black one!

I love it and have ALWAYS loved it! I’m just fancy like that and dream that I live in a zillion dollar brownstone…

Am I the only one that thinks all these couches look like weird caterpillars? Well except for the Liv Tyler one…the modern shape of the couch and rest of the decor saves it from looking like a sad caterpillar.

ooooh nooooo, i say.
but if you must, at least make it removable somehow (like a giant Velcro strip or sth) so at least when you get sick of it, (cuz eventually you will get sick of it) you can just rip it off and your couch will look normal again… ;-p

potentially a simple way to disguise outdated sofa legs? Erin – any thoughts on how to update sofa legs would be appreciated – my Mitchell Gold sofa from 8 years ago is still in great shape but the legs are starting to look dated.

This was a really interesting post! Totally thought it stuffy and grandma-ish (I know grandma-ish can supposedly be cool, I just don’t like anything described granny chic) and the Tory/Wes Anderson vibe I can appreciate but not my scene…but Liv’s sofa and some of the others with modern surroundings make it suddenly whimsical and almost boho or “zany”, basically the opposite of stuffy?! I DO love texture differences and will concede I’m down for some fringe on a kimono over jeans so re-seeing this concept on a sofa is kind of blowing my mind a little. :)

(It’s almost like a classier version of those woven macrame wall hangings, getting some texture in a room without looking like Urban Outfitters.)

No, no, no. Too fussy and trendy. Maybe if you have a home like Tory Burch it works, but not for me.

a bit old fashioned. Pillows yes/perhaps , sofas no

I’d say nay. Although I do like Liv’s sofa. The shorter fringe and tone on tone looks more modern. It still reads “bordello” to me. And I can’t get visions of Carol Burnett as Scarlet O’hara Out of my mind. LOL

Love the way it looks especially on the velvet couches but mine would be tangled with cat hair (& my own hair)!

Geez! I never knew it was a design no-no. I have had a burlap tableskirt with jute fringe in my den for years that I got from Ballard Designs. I think of them as being reasonably fashionable, and they still sell it, so who knew?
