Jenny Robert Exclusive Decor: All About Tortoise Shell
From fashion to interiors, we’re seeing a comeback of tortoise shell patterns and prints. We’re loving the gold-and-brown mottled pattern and it keeps popping up everywhere! From wallpaper designs to statement sunglasses, tortoise shell adds dimension. But if you ask us, it never really went out of style. Here we bring you a few ways to decorate with tortoise shell and some top picks from Jenny Robert Exclusive Decor.
Just like leopard, tortoise shell is a tried-and-true classic. Originally obtained from the curved shields of the hawksbill turtle, the ornamental material has long been valued for its unique appearance and durability. In fact, tortoise shell was widely used in ancient times in the West and in Asia. And during 17th-century France under Louis XIV, it became highly prized as inlay in small luxury objects, such as snuff boxes, jewellery and combs. Today, the use of real tortoise shell is illegal, but lucky for us, the look is easily replicated.
Because tortoise shell is so timeless, you simply can’t go wrong with them in interior design. Here are a few ways to incorporate it into your home…
Vases and Pots
Bring this trending pattern into your living space with beautifully curated vases or pots for greenery. Add your favourite blooms, succulents or indoor plants to elevate the piece and bring style into your home this season.
Candle Holders
