Acrylic: The Clearly Chic Spring Decor Trend

( Via: Elle Decor )

Spring is the time to lighten up at home. Clearly chic acrylic and lucite furnishings are the perfect way to do that. According to Elle Decor, Pinterest searches for acrylic decor have increased by 50%. That's one stylish statistic! I happen to have two 30 year old lucite lamps with string shades in a storage locker. It's high time I put them back in the mix of things! Besides fabulous form, see thru furnishings are a strategic choice for small spaces. This edit features a clear collection for every budget.
