Hervé Pierre's canopy bed is a sea of gingham drapery--the fabric being a gift from Herrera herself. With porcelain, plastered angels and a curtain tieback made of a stuffed [Balmain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balmains-new-candle) glove, Hervé Pierre's home has a distinct eighteenth century sensibility. **Implications** - The gingham pattern has been reinvented with Hervé Pierre's incorporation into his home. The pattern is no longer seen as "hick" with its use of a deep royal blue and white. The canopy bed looks effortlessly chic in Hervé Pierre's luxurious home and would make anyone feel like royalty. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Reinvented Gingham:** Hervé Pierre's use of gingham drapery in his home shows the potential for the pattern to be seen as chic and luxurious. - **Eighteenth Century Sensibility:** Hervé Pierre's home design reflects a growing interest in incorporating historical aesthetics into modern interiors. - **Personalized Luxury:** Hervé Pierre's use of custom-made fabric and unique decor items highlights the trend of personalization in luxury home design. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** The use of gingham drapery and eighteenth century aesthetics in Hervé Pierre's home presents opportunities for home decor brands to offer unique and historic-inspired products. - **Fashion:** The incorporation of Balmain glove as a curtain tieback in Hervé Pierre's home suggests potential for collaboration between fashion and home decor industries. - **Photography:** The spotlight on Hervé Pierre's home by interiors photographer Todd Selby indicates a demand for visually captivating interior photography for editorial and marketing purposes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Classically Juxtaposing Pied-à-Terres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lichelle-silvestry.md) - [Artful Four-Poster Bed Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-bed-installation.md) - [Opulent French Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chteau-la-banquire.md) - [High-End Household Linens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonsoirs.md) - [Romantic Luxury Home Décor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-decor-2.md) - [Multifaceted Luxury Linens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pom-pom-at-home.md) - [Opulent Material-Focused Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hermes-1.md) - [Sophisticated Premium Bedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedding-collection-1.md) - [Caged Luxury Homeware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-homeware-collection.md)
