# Rug-Inspired Coaster Decor madebyerica's Tufted Coaster Sets are Playful and Nostalgic By Jana Pijak | Published 2021-02-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tufted-coaster References: [madebyerica.studio](https://www.madebyerica.studio/product/set-of-4-coasters-assorted-colors) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/madebyericastudio/?hl=en) Big Cartel online shop madebyerica was founded by tufting and stained glass artist Erica Gleason. The Los Angeles-based creator specializes in artful rug accessories, sculptural mirrors and tufted coaster decor with a nostalgic look and feel. With influences from the 60s and 90s, madebyerica's products are colorful and playful, often taking on floral shapes or displaying animal prints and geometric motifs. The e-shop's tufted coasters are a best-seller sold in a 4-piece set. The coasters are sold in assorted colors, hand-selected by the artist -- with shades ranging from white and yellow to pink, red, green, blue and orange. With maker culture at a rise as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Millennial and Gen Z consumers are ditching minimalist home decor in exchange for pieces that embody craftsmanship and personality. These coasters are no exception and are reflective of artist Erica Gleason's bold personal aesthetic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Nostalgia Home Decor:** Opportunity to create more colorful and playful home decor products with nostalgic designs. - **Artful Rug Accessories:** Opportunity to innovate and create more unique and creative rug accessories. - **Maker Culture Rise:** Opportunity to tap into the rising maker culture trend with bespoke handcrafted products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor Industry:** Opportunity to create more personalized and unique home decor products. - **Artisanal Rug Industry:** Opportunity to create new and innovative rug accessories that showcase artisanal craftsmanship. - **Handcrafting Industry:** Opportunity to tap into the rising trend of DIY and handcrafted products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Turntable-Inspired Coaster Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needledrop-coaster-set.md) - [Astrological Drinkware Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zodiac-constellation-coasters.md) - [Warm-Toned Marble Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lusine-coasters.md) - [Aquatic Beverage Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crab-inspired-coasters.md) - [Lifestyle-Themed Patterned Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quotidiana.md) - [Flower-Inspired Vibrant Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espressionismo-floreale.md) - [Cork Coaster-Integrated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polka-coffee-table.md) - [Curated Home Decor Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-decor-for-home.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Elegant Home Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rug-weave.md)
