Fox motifs

Now it has become a part of home interiors. Rustic to contemporary, choose any of the designs that go with your décor to jazz up your home.

Crochet and lacework have that Victorian touch to them. Adding them to your current décor will put your home in the trendiest-on-the-block list. Lace also refers to the lace design patterns on wall papers, cushions, vases etc. Lace borders, stripes and even wire baskets in mono colors will depict the concept of lace in the following months.

Victorian style

Victorian style of decorating aims at glorifying each of your displays. So choose all your best showcase items and allot them an apt place for display. Complement them with appropriate lighting and backdrops.
