Rattan

This ’70s favorite has been thrown major shade through the years, but its moment in the sun has arrived, thanks to Justina Blakeney and the boho beach house look. Bent into straighter lines and given a mid-tone or dark stain, it looks at home in contemporary settings, proving that rattan has as much staying power as Golden Girl Betty White. Streamlined and curving structures from Norm Architects’ Cask collection (pictured) take rattan in a new direction.

Art Deco Bathrooms

Like the era’s silent film stars, this look is all about a glamour that fluidly dances from tuxedo-like black tile to frilly piecrust sconces and shapely turned legs. Pictured above is a circa-1930s Spanish Revival house in Beverly Hills, Calif., that belonged to Hollywood musical star Ann Miller.

Tuareg Rugs

The thirst for trendy Beni Ouarain and Boucherouite tribal rugs continues unabated, and the latest iteration combines strips of leather for some edge. Tuareg rugs are handwoven from reed with a leather trim and decorated with intricate woven goat and camel leather strands, making them incredibly durable. In this Montauk, N.Y., dining space, the Tuareg rug, wicker pendant and safari chairs keep the vibe summery.

Skirts Galore

In the era of tell-all celeb confessionals on social media, modesty is a virtue. Grandmillennial style heralds the return of traditional decorating and layered fabrics. Covering up furniture and open storage with whisper-soft skirts delivers the sought-after look — and won’t spill your secrets. In The Ryder Hotel in Charleston, S.C., skirting a vanity is a softer alternative to doors.

Slouchy Seating

The pandemic elevated loungewear and, for many, there’s no going back. Homeowners have embraced furniture that makes us feel comforted, as well as comfortable. Large sectionals that allow you to stretch out and armchairs that feel like a hug are the new essentials. Pacha sofas designed by Pierre Paulin resemble clusters of clouds.

Antiques Revisted

Grandma has had her revenge. Antique “brown furniture” that no one would take a couple of years ago looks downright sexy with updated hardware, and is as in demand as her heirloom tomato sauce recipe. In a Silver Lake, L.A., home, a traditional buffet is refreshed with round knobs and open shelving above.
