Shagreen is one of those decor elements that’s simultaneously beautiful and mysterious. Made to resemble the skin of rays, sharks or dogfish, the\u00a0smooth and pebbled texture\u00a0is a\u00a0multi-purpose\u00a0accent. Needless to say, we love to see how designers are experimenting (often brilliantly!) with shagreen elements.<\/p>\n

We like shagreen to soften\u00a0a furniture’s contours or to add an intriguing focal point\u00a0to a a vignette. The faux shagreen box above (currently on sale for $55) is a great example of this texture\u00a0doing what it does best. Hard to take your eyes off of, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Shagreen comes in a variety of shades\u00a0and adds a lovely layer of textural depth to most spaces. Using the organic texture\u00a0on a functional piece of furniture<\/a>, like a table or dresser, often brings out that highly sought-after feeling of understated elegance.<\/p>\n

Shagreen’s granular surface gives off the perfect amount of luxury, while still being extremely durable. Luxurious and durable \u2013 Yes, it really can happen!\u00a0We’ve seen designers incorporate the organic texture into living areas by decorating with everything from coffee and end tables to trays and coasters.<\/p>\n

This material was first introduced in the Art-Deco period, but has made its big come back the past few years. We love adding it into designs in the most unsuspecting ways, like with this Regina Andrew lamp.<\/p>\n
