Design Crush: Fabric Wrapped Casegoods

More and more I have been noticing the new trend of fabric panels on casegoods, like dressers, chests, tables and desks. I am downright obsessed with this new trend. I wasn’t able to make it to High Point Spring Market this year, but from all reports, fabric wrapped case goods were a big hit.

Fabric, leather or vinyl wrapped furniture is a great alternative to plain casegoods and a great idea for refreshing damaged or outdated pieces. They are perfect when a bit of softness is needed in a room full of wooden furniture. They are great for adding color and texture, and a bit of interest in a room. Fabric opens up many options for customizing each piece and adding a unique quality that will support the look, color and theme of your decor.

Can you see this piece in a chic lodge look?

The fabrics used to wrap these casegoods are usually fabrics, leathers or vinyls with a noticeable texture like burlap, linen, faux python prints, faux ostrich prints, and faux croc prints. Of course the sky is the limit as to what fabrics are used, but lighter delicate fabrics like silks and satin should be avoided, and a bit of visual or physical texture is very desireable

Here are a few pieces that have my head spinning in a good way :-)

This python print wrapped bench definitely makes a wonderful statement in a room. This one is providing me with some inspiration for a hall bench in my new home

  1. talk about adding character to your furniture… I never thought about bringing a desk to life before I read your blog… Cheers! (I think?!) Perhaps, one day this information will come in handy… Even just to understand that furniture sales ladies techno-babble LOL

  2. You are a successful guy Nick, so I’m sure you own a home with all the money you make online (maybe even two? :-) ) Fly me to Australia and you won’t have to worry about the furniture sales ladies techno-babble. I’ll take care of all the decorating for you…….desk and all :-) Cheers!

  3. I LOVE it! But I must admit, it’s not new to me! I’ve been doing this myself for years! I even put fabric on all of the walls in a bathroom about 10 years ago (I got tired … no angry … at the ugly wallpaper and since it was so difficult to pull off I simply covered it)!! This is a soft look and it will fit into every design plan.
