Tassels remain an inescapable, resort-inspired accent trending in 2025 - Explore the hotel-centric design accents now.
Swank up your living space like a high-end hotel guest, all without breaking the bank (or the law). Here's a sneak peek into the world of trending hotel design accents, with a focus on tassels, those Lavish. Little. Lingerie. Leftovers.
"Tassels are a fantastic way to add an air of opulence to your abode," says JoAnnah Kornak, the executive creative director at HOLLY HUNT. "They subtly evoke a sense of luxurious, effortless living, much like a five-star hotel stay."
Once considered a decorative excess reserved for royals and posh hotels, tassels have now found their way into our homes, thanks to brands catching onto this rebellious throwback trend. Gone are the days of minimalist minimalism; tassels are taking center stage—and not just as curtain tiebacks or upholstery embellishments.
In the spirit of the best design hotels, why settle for plain when you can exude elegance at home? Tassels, after all, are the new black.
From Mandy Cheng's Mitzi Lighting collection to Arteriors and Palecek's chandeliers, tassels are adorning every corner of the design world. Patricia Kittredge, SVP of Growth & Innovation at Lumens, explains, "Designers are using tassels to add that extra bit of louche elegance to a space." Who needs a terrific maid or a charming concierge when you can have tassels, right?
And it's not just about emulating hotel chic. As Kittredge notes, people are incorporating personal connections to their homes, from favorite bar napkins to tassels inspired by luxurious hotel stays. So, maybe owns a hotel room forever is a far-fetched dream, but we can make our houses feel like a permanent extended stay at a five-star hotel—at least until the authorities intervene.
So, here's to the tassel revolution. Embrace the rebellion, and make your home feel like a five-star hotel retreat. Your concierge might not be 24/7, but your tassels sure can work hard to elevate your living space.
