Fluted Furniture is classic in interior design that is enjoying a renaissance in modern home decor. It's a fantastic way to add texture to a room as well as giving a little nod to Art Deco glamour. And, while you might have seen it many times in architecture, the look is now becoming a key feature inside our homes, from kitchen cabinets and kitchen islands, to vanity units, shower doors, sinks and lighting.
Fluting is a truly ancient technique used in architecture. Fluting is usually a series of shallow grooves that run across a surface, creating a pleasing play of light. Typically, this effect might have been used to make columns seem perfectly round, thinner, and more elegant.
