Decorate Your Interiors With Lattice




Latticework: an open framework of strips of wood, metal, etc, arranged to form an ornamental pattern


Usually associated with the outdoors, lattice can deliver big-time personality to your interiors, without a lot of effort.

Providing both decorative and functional aspects, lattice is an affordable and charming material to use in your interior decor. Whether you use wooden lattice panels, paint, or wallpaper, lattice will bring a hint of the outdoors indoors. Plus it is an easy way to punch up your walls. Traditional lattice prints are more X-based, inspired by outdoor gardens. Contemporary patterns have more intricate, curved shapes, often taking cue from Moorish and Moroccan patterns. Either way you will create an effect that is modern yet classic.



 

Enjoy the music...I promise it will enhance your visit!!

You can go over the top or just use touches of lattice to make your rooms stand out.


I remember seeing similar lattice, trellis and cane patterns on fabric and wallpaper back in the 70′s. It has become popular again and looks equally fabulous in interiors from Traditional to Modern Eclectic.

Lattice is often associated with traditional country gardens, it can also be fabulous in interior furnishings as well.


The current reemergence owes a debt to the renewed popularity of David Hicks’s graphic-patterned interiors and Hollywood Regency trellis prints, and the pared-down rococo designs of Marcel Wanders.


Thinking unconventionally, lattice isn't just for walls but can be used on ceilings too.


Inside a home, it brings in the outdoors, adding elegance and sophistication to a room.


Lattice offers an architectural element to your bedroom that will surely create an eye-catching and one-of-a-kind look.

Using lattice indoors also adds texture to the room and creates a dynamic focal point. Use the lattice on a single wall if you want it to be the focal point, or put it on each wall in the room to use it as an architectural detail.

Decorate Your Interiors With Treillage



Treillage: French, from Old French treille, bower supported by trelliswork

I love the way trelliswork or lattice makes a room instantly look like an elegant conservatory.Treillage is French for trelliswork although the meaning is more complex. Treillage refers to trellis of a highly developed form both artistically and architecturally. The Dutch and French achieved a high level of refinement in earlier centuries, creating arbors, galleries, summerhouses and more with a keen eye for proportion and decoration.

At the turn of the century, it was first introduced to America by decorator Elsie de Wolfe in her Trellis Room at the Colony Club. In the 1930s, the use of Chinoiserie bamboo and lattice found a glamorous spot in the houses of the Hollywood Regency Style. And, today the trellis motif is still a favorite of the country's best decorators.
I hope this blog will introduce you again to this lovely design element.

This post is dedicated to more decorative trellis design.  My next post will focus on lattice, which  falls under the definition of trelliage, but stands on it's own.
