Pom-poms are no longer just for kids and cheerleaders. With the growing popularity of pom-pom-infused fashion, gift and furniture designs, these nostalgic adornments are regaining their cool factor by becoming increasingly more desirable.
These textured and fun-filled orbs never fail to put a smile on someone’s face, reminding one of their youth and infusing fashions and other designs with a child-like sense of innocence and imagination.
While whimsical, high-fashion spreads are showcasing knitted hairdos, chunky 3d knitwear and cute crocheted accessories, design-savvy furniture manufacturers are releasing craft-inspired collections. From pom-pom-filled fashion shoots to pom-pom adorned furniture pieces, these fiercely fuzzy and texture-enriched decorative accents are here to stay. Pom-poms are fun for all ages whether they are worn as clothing, accenting one’s home as furniture or even being admired as an art piece.
