Design and Style with Papernstitch: Silhouettes
Just like everything else, home decor phases ideas in and out. They go away, only to retun years later as fresh and new again.
Silhouettes are no different. They have been around for decades, but within the last few years have really become a hot commodity again in the design world. Popping up almost everywhere.
Of course, there are many different ways these silhouettes can be used…from traditional, framed wall art, to pillows, bedding, and more. So, let’s explore…
Vol25 shows off her living room and let’s her unusual silhouette shine in an ornate frame. While the neutral canvases from Simple Silhouettes are a more subtle addition.
West Elm shows us the many silhouettes of artist Mike Miller, from pillows to framed work.
Country Living reminds us that framed silhouettes can look great clustered over a mantel of nestled above a dresser.
And more from Country Living.

I am a huge fan of silhouettes and they never went out of style for me! I love to see them as a family portrait — so cute.
I agree with you that family portraits look great as silhouettes, especially when individually framed and clustered like the Country Living examples. Thanks for your comment Umeorigami.

I love that silhouettes are back “in”. I’ve lived long enough to remember a time years ago when they were all the rage! Thanks Brittni.
THese are so beautiful.
Beatiful! I adore silhouettes and have my own collection of embroidered ones.
