Russian In
Kara Cox -- Home Accents Today, 11/1/2005
With winter fashions as elaborately decorated with velvet, embroidery and beading as Matrioshka dolls, Russian-inspired style is edging its way from the catwalk into the home. Vibrant brocade and tapestry fabrics offer a lavish touch to soft goods and upholstered furniture as golden tassels and amber-hued art glass lend rich decoration to timeless designs. From St. Petersburg to any living room, bold Russian style transforms traditional design by evoking a sense of romance and culture steeped in opulence and embellishment.
