Turning Tenniscore into a Home Decor Hit
" Tenniscore is n’t going anywhere , and it ’s not just for your country lodge wear , " saysKendra Nash , principal designer atNash Design Group . " We fuck using the aesthetic in decor , too . "
In a few words , the look is a playful take on prep — in fashion and the home .
As with sample out any new interior design dash , commence with the color palette . Use classic hues like navy , white , and green as a base for grounding your design . This permit you to work in more over - the - top panache andshades as accentsto make the tennis - inspired elements pop .
Nash also recommends splashes of Ne yellow that " stand out like that smart bollock being spot on the royal court , " she says . " It ’s a crisp , preppy , playful agency to incorporate lawn tennis into your daily life . "
you may also bring the court to your space with patterns and textures . Give a nod to racquets with woven stuff , and mimic the tone of a tennis glob with boucle ( which has been on vogue for over a year now ) .
" And do n’t leave lattice design , which give preppy vibraharp and mimic the details of fencing around the court , " Nash says . " We also love chinoiserie as it plays with the lattice details and is assure all over the rural area clubs . "
But really the only rule of tenniscore is to not take it too earnestly — tennis is a plot , after all . ( Although Zendaya ’s character inChallengerswould dissent . ) Give your space a lightsome appeal without getting too kitschy with eclectic wallpaper or a preppy statement piece to do as a focal point .
And you ca n’t forget that accessories are cardinal players : Crisp blank figure are complete for setting off sept characterization or bright tonic artwork . you’re able to even channel tenniscore through your tableware .
" After a Clarence Shepard Day Jr. of running around the court , you ’ll want to settle down with an Arnold Palmer or a crisp shabu of Pinot Grigio , so havingthe right drinkwareis essential to the tenniscore attitude , " Nash says . " All of these facet are a admixture of bracing and lustrous while playing to the erstwhile - school day prep . "
