In fashion and in home decor, ruffles are having their moment.No, we're not talking about the potato chips, we mean the frilly, girlie kind of ruffles! This past weekend I went clothes shopping and in every single store there were ruffled shirts, skirts and tank tops -- more ruffles than a pirate convention. Kidding aside, decor trends are often taken directly from the runway and this trend is no exception.
Let's look at some fun pieces you can add to your current space to give it a punch of interest and some feminine frills.

First, try adding some spice to the sofa with throw pillows, like these Ruffles Pillows, $30 to $38, from Pier 1 Imports or this neutral Ruffle Accent Pillow, $58, from Nordstrom (the neutral color is great if you want a less daring approach).

Follow it up with a bedroom makeover, beginning with your bedding. If you still have winter covers on your bed, grab yourself a Waterfall Ruffle Duvet Cover, $148 at Urban Outfitters or these modern Ruffle Circle Quilt and Shams, $24 to $149, from West Elm.

Don't overlook another very important curtain -- the shower curtain! Target has this great Ruffles Shower Curtain for just $30, to make the whole look complete, while Anthropologie offers a bright, bold version for the very brave.
One word of caution with this trend: Choose one or two pieces because you can easily overdo it with this one. And, as you know trends come and go, so you don't want to be stuck with a house full of ruffles!
