Look We're Loving: Reeded and Fluted Detailing

We got so much great feedback on our last “look we’re loving” post and so appreciate it! We are excited to bring you another one—all about reeded and fluted detailing, a look I’m sure you’ve been seeing around!

I’m really loving when it’s added subtly and intentionally to a space, as a surprise detail. It can really add texture and interest to a space or piece. It can be seen as wall treatments, on doors, cabinetry, furniture, molding, lighting, glass and more. Below I talk a bit about the difference between reeded and fluted design, spaces these looks can be added and lots of inspiration photos, of course!


Reeded: Convex curves (outward)

Fluted: Concave curves (inward)


Where it can be added:

Cabinetry in both kitchens and bathrooms

Door detailing

Molding

Glass

If you don’t want to change anything structurally, try adding it through furniture, decor and lighting

I’ve seen this look done so successfully and beautifully by DIY bloggers, so if you’re handy this may be something you can add to your home yourself! Here are some tutorials:

Is this a look you would try in your home? If so, in what way would you add it?
