North Fork Finds: Marbling, Weaving, and Neutral Color Schemes
If you ever find yourself on the North Fork of Long Island, particularly in the charming town of Southold, there are a few stores you simply must visit. During a recent trip, I was captivated by a variety of home goods that showcased some intriguing trends: color marbling, weaving, and neutral color schemes. These elements not only bring a unique aesthetic to home decor but also infuse spaces with personality and charm.
Marbling: A Splash of Playfulness
One of the standout trends I noticed was color marbling, especially in kitchen items like strainers, containers, and bowls. These pieces, particularly in tonal blue, caught my eye immediately. The glossy finish gives these items a striking appearance, making them pop off the shelf. This finish almost looks wet, adding a playful and fun element to the pieces. Imagine these glossy, marbled items adorning your kitchen counters—each one a small work of art, bringing a touch of whimsy and sophistication to everyday tasks.
Weaving: Comfort and Artisanal Charm
Another delightful trend was the presence of woven goods. The store featured an array of beautiful woven placemats, clutches, and even cowgirl hats. There's something inherently comforting about natural weave patterns. They bring a sense of warmth and artisanal quality to the home, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Whether it's a woven placemat enhancing your dining table or a chic woven clutch complementing your outfit, these items seamlessly blend functionality with artistic design.
Neutral Colors: A Haven of Calm
Towards the back of the store, I found a haven of neutral-colored items, including vases, chairs, and pillows. This section exuded a sense of calm and coziness that made me want to linger all day. Neutral tones have a timeless appeal, creating a serene backdrop that allows other design elements to shine. These pieces are perfect for anyone looking to create a tranquil, cohesive space in their home.
North Fork Finds
These items are from a mix of three stores: Pearl on Main, White Flower, and touchGOODS.
Next time you trek out to the Hamptons, make sure you stop at this wonderful store in Southold. The unique items on display are a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship that can transform any house into a home. Whether you're drawn to the playful marbling, the comforting weave, or the serene neutrals, there's something here to inspire every design enthusiast.
Incorporating these trends into your home decor can bring a refreshing update to your space, making it not only more beautiful but also more reflective of your personal style. Happy decorating!
