Rules To Break: White Window Trim

We're downright giddy to debut our new Journal column, Rules to Break!  Sticking to the rules is never fun, right?!  At CLOTH & KIND we pride ourselves in seeking out the unusual and the extraordinary.  This oftentimes comes in the form of breaking with tradition and finding our own path a.k.a. BREAKING THE RULES!

Today we are exploring the fascinating world of colored window trim.  As a portal to the outside, and a glimpse outside of the normalcy of our own homes, windows are vital to any space.  Why not make them even more intriguing?  Check out these killer painted window trims!  Obsessed.

Fab Five: Wall Sconces

Our entire team here at CLOTH & KIND is totally gaga over Visual Comfort's ridiculously good lighting line, and we source from them all the time for our interior design Studio projects. It's hard to play favorites, but here's a handful of sconces that we are digging at the moment...

1. Ryan Miller, Showroom Director
Frankfort Articulating Wall Light in Black and Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass Accents

2. Krista Nye Nicholas, Partner & Principal Interior Designer
Avant Large Curved Sconce in Antique-Burnished Brass with Frosted Glass

3. Tami Ramsay, Partner & Principal Interior Designer
Cavanagh Medium Lantern Sconce in Polished Nickel

4. Rachael Bell, Senior Interior Designer
Launceton Large Ring Sconce in Antique- Burnished Brass with Natural Percale Shade

5. Alyson Derry, Interior Design Director
Osiris Single Reflector Sconce in Bronze and Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass with Linen Diffuser

If you're in the interior design trade, you are undoubtedly in love with Visual Comfort as well. If you're not a designer and simply a design afficianado, you may still be familiar with the line through Circa Lighting (the retail arm of the company). In either case, what you gotta know is that CLOTH & KIND is now an official Visual Comfort Gallery partner! That means you can check out a full range of their gorgeous fixtures in person here and order them (at more advantageous pricing than Circa offers - both to the trade and at retail, BTW!) through either our Showroom or Shop.
