We are seeing different styles in today's furniture, wallpaper an window coverings. Scallops are back along with geometric design.
Evidently the younger people like the sleek lines of geometric. I am seeing it in artwork, sculpture, clothing, accessories and furniture lines.
I think it has it's place. I love scalloped lampshades. I think they are classic especially if they are a good one. Which brings me to lamps. We have lampshade house close to me and I love to take my lamps in there and have them fit them with a shade. It doesn't necessarily mean I will buy one, but then I can shop. Remember, the professionals know all the rules, including lampshades. "Not one fits all". You can at least know the size.
I also love old fashioned doilies. I remember my grandmothers using them, all starched up and so
light and airy and old fashioned. I have a few yet and use them under vases filled with fresh flowers. Not starched though. But I do know how from them. A touch of old fashioned adds charm to any setting. If you are very ultra modern, this would not fit with your style, but a silver colored dish would help solve the problem of water on wood, or glass.
It is so much fun to mix everything today. Years ago, they called it early attic.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
