Perforated, put simply, is something that is pierced with a hole or holes. It is currently a top trend for 2015, showing up in architecture, interior design and fashion. Today’s perforations range from industrial to artistic in design.



Shops and corporate offices employ perforated design into their interiors by way of wall and ceiling panels, as well as staircase rails. This design offers a unique modern appeal that can capture light in creative ways and stand out as a distinct design element.





Home interiors with perforated design elements stand out in a modern way. Staircases wrapped in perforated metal look especially unique. Wall and ceiling panels with various designs enhance living spaces, adding depth and dimension. Perforated window treatments cast light in interesting patterns and even cabinetry gets a boost with perforated inlays.






In architecture, perforated accents and additions add interesting texture to commercial and residential structures. Intricate patterns or simple industrial-style perforations embrace buildings for modern panache.





Furniture designed with perforations enhances modern interiors, lending dimensional weight and interest. Tables and chairs with creative designs look fresh and structural. These pieces have an edge that is modern and one-of-a-kind.





Accessories boldly take on the perforated design. Storage, lighting, fabrics and decorative accessories add character. These are pieces that will transcend the trend and go on to merge with new styles within your home.






Fashion has been showcasing the perforated trend this year and it doesn’t appear to be waning. From shoes and handbags to jackets and dresses, this fashionable trend has gone from runway to household.
