Ombre!

Ombre Dresser

It's been a while since I've blogged anything on trends, and perhaps i'm a little behind on this post, but here goes. Ombre ladies and gentlemen, have you ever heard of it? I'd say most people in the fashion and design industry have.

Cool Ombre Wedding Cake

Ombre is a french term that literally means gradation or shaded. Usually a multi coloured stripe with colours graduating from light to dark. It was popular for a while last year, seen mainly as a trend for hair, but that fad has not yet died down in the world of interior design.

Many people have tried to recreate this look by using fabric dyes and paint and some have pulled it off really well.

I am particularly obsessed with the ombre dresser (left) which would look very cool in a nursery or kids room. lf you have the patience and eye for detail, this is definitely a project you should try.
