Curves, waves, and squiggles: Lick's shopping guide to wiggly decor
There’s a new wave of style going on over in the world of interiors, with one of this year’s biggest trends being wiggly decor. From wavy headboards to spiral candles, twisty ceramics to scalloped lampshades, stay ahead of the curve with these gorgeously eclectic pieces that will inject a bit of fun and softness into your home.
Klevering’s Wiggly Table
Available at Liberty’s (one of our favourite shops for eclectic style decor), this squiggly coffee table by Amsterdam-born brand Klevering is the perfect centrepiece for an eclectic style living room. Made out of metal, it’s available in a range of vibrant shades, including this emerald green for that extra splash of colour.
Our ZigZag striped wallpaper designs
Stripes are making waves right now. And they are coming in all shapes and sizes! Wavy, zigzag striped designs are the hot ticket to an eclectic, playful decor scheme. Check out these ZigZag striped wallpapers, designed by our very own Lead Colour Consultant, Sam Bramley. ZigZag 01 striped wallpaper will freshen up any space instantly, featuring irregular stripes and zigzags in minty blue, neo green, and hazy pink on an off-white background. Whilst ZigZag 02 striped wallapaper puts a playful spin on classic stripes, using golden yellow, muted pink, and powder blue tones to create a relaxing colour palette.
Bert & May x Samantha Todhunter’s Ric Rac Tiles
We’re big fans of Bert & May and their Ric Rac collection - designed in collaboration with Samantha Todhunter - is art for your walls. Adding some serious personality to a kitchen or bathroom near you, they exude a confident style with a playful edge.
The Ultrafragola Mirror by Ettore Sottsass
You can’t really write about the wiggly decor trend without mentioning the Ultrafragola mirror. It’s hard to imagine the piece (that many credit as starting the wavy design movement) being a product of anything other than an Instagram-age trend. However, this wall art meets dressing room must-have began life in the 1970s. Designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1970, this curvy masterpiece was part of his Mobili Grigi series of bedroom and living room objects.
1st Dibs is one of the best places to head for an original, but if the price is enough to bring you to tears, we’ve got some more cost-effective options for you. Like wiggly decor favourite, Kleverling. Their Zigzag resin mirror is right on the wiggly trend as is Jonathan Adler’s Ripple Mirror, but you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the gems you can unearth if you simply search ‘wavy mirror’ on Etsy.
Ensemblier x Pandora Taylor’s Kyma Headboard
When we poked our noses around Pandora Taylor’s eclectic decor home we couldn’t help but spot her eye-catching bespoke headboard designs. So imagine our delight when we found out that her eco-friendly Kyma design, upholstered with natural materials and made in Britain, is available to buy at Ensemblier.
Anthropologie’s Lara Bowl
A little more paired-back in style, Anthropologie’s Lara bowl is the sort of piece that will never go out of style. And that’s because its wavy, organic form is inspired by nature. We think it would make the perfect ornamental fruit bowl, piled high with citrus fruits for a bit of colour (and vitamin C). Plus, at £38 it’s very well priced.
Casa Carta’s Linen Cushions
Designed by our very own International Colour Consultant, Charlotte Cropper, we adore the Red & Pink Scalloped Cushion (as seen in Tash Bradley’s Somerset home).
Sophie Lou Jacobsen’s Wave Pitcher
With her quirky and colourful designs, Sophie Lou Jacobsen’s wavey glassware is made for celebrating. Congregate around the dining table with friends and family and let these pieces take centre stage. It’s difficult to choose a favourite, but if we could only have one we love her Wave Pitcher in teal and lilac.
Terrazzo Parazo’s Wiggly Candlestick Holders
Why do we love this lockdown labour of love project turned full-time business, Terrazzo Parazo? Well, firstly because of that back story but secondly because of its delightfully playful wiggly candlestick holders (complete the look with a few of their Twirl Taper Candles). Made out of terrazzo composite, you can even sign up to one of their workshops and learn the art of terrazzo making for yourself.
Artemis Deco’s Santorini Scallop Tablecloth
One of our Colour Consultants’ go-to homeware stores, Laura Jackson’s Glasette is a must-visit for the latest interior trends. We’re currently obsessing over this Santorini Scallop Tablecloth by Artemis Deco. Come rain or shine, it’ll transport you straight to the alfresco tables of the Aegean Islands.
Matilda Goad’s Scallop Tole Planter
If you’re a green-fingered trendsetter then Matilda Goad’s Scallop Tole Planter is going to be just your cup of tea. Wiggly, colourful, this metal planter adds some life and fun to any shelf, bathroom, or coffee table.
Munro and Kerr x A Considered Space’s Wavy Lampshade
The design collaboration we didn’t know we needed, when Munro and Kerr (the makers of those marbled paper lampshades) and Eleanor Cording-Booth of A Considered Space teamed up to create their wavy lampshade in woven paper, it wouldn’t take long until they were popping up on Instagram pages across the interior design world. The raffia look woven paper used to make this wavy lampshade was created in Japan using state-of-the-art technologies.
