Denim by Design: Where the Jeans Always Fit
The Colors of Denim Add a Comfortable Feeling to All Kinds of Spaces
Denim is definitely a part of our current culture — as a high-fashion status symbol and as an iconic representation of our casual society. Whether the color is a rich, sumptuous, deep indigo or a weathered, creased blue that’s softened and faded with time, denim hues will play an important role in Spring 2011.
Just as it does in our wardrobe, denim goes with everything. You can dress denim up or dress it down; it always seems to work. So whether your interior is a seaside cottage, eclectic mix or you simply need something new for a children's room, denim may just be the fabric for you. See what these Houzz members have put together to inspire your look.
