Home Decor Trend: Denim

Home Decor Trend: Denim

Posted by DecoArt on Mar 31st 2015

What’s your favorite, goes-with-everything, most comfortable outfit in your wardrobe? 

I bet it starts with a pair of jeans.

Blue jeans are America’s most iconic fashion staple, so it’s no wonder that durable, comfortable and casual denim is also hot in home fashion. From inky indigo tones to worn and faded blues, the jeanswear influence is popping up in upholstery, paint colors and techniques and home accessories.

As anyone who has ever worn a pair of jeans knows, denim can be dressed up or dressed down with the right accessories, and it pairs with any color – from neutrals to pastels to the boldest bolds.

How about this dark denim sofa, accented with pops of fiery red and orange and bright indigo?

Designer Toby Fairley pairs a bright denim sofa with shades of blue and aqua to create a colorful, cozy and relaxing family gathering space.

Faded denim tones are perfect for coastal, cottage and Scandinavian-influenced color palettes. Lemony yellow, white, aqua and pale green work well with chambray blue.
Just as blue jeans can be dressed up or dressed down, denim works with a variety of design styles.

There are definitely some traditional touches in this living room, featured at Better Homes & Gardens, like the damask print denim cocktail ottoman.

Or do you prefer denim upholstery?
