Fringe; bleh! That's my initial reaction to the dangly trim, whether in fashion or in the home. But, as with everything, there are exceptions:
Like that gorgeous cashmere throw pictured up top. That particular one is by Burberry at Nordstrom, but there are lots out there that are just beautiful!
Now, back to my initial distaste for fringe. You see, my first impression of the trim was not through sight but another sense: The only fringe I remember in my home was circa 1980. It was on a burnt orange pillow on my mother's sofa. As a 2-year-old, I used to chew on the fringe 'til it was covered in drool. There you have it, that's where I developed my taste for fringe.

Love it.....adds interest, texture and movement to what would ordinarily be a static item. I'd kill for that Burberry throw, BTW.
I have this gray throw that has beautiful fringe covering 'ugly' print on my piano bench.
The 'ugly' needlepoint was actually made my mother in law's mother so whenever my mother in law visits, i take off that gray throw because she always talks about how beautiful her mother's needlepoint is. lol
Fringe is fine with me, Burberry however, not so much.
Come to think of it, I don't have any fringe at home so maybe I do have a secret dislike of it.
Perhaps the 80's ruined fringe in general? White leather fringe on a leather jacket or fringe on the back of cowboy boots, moccasins, your mother's orange pillow... what else?
I do think it can be incorporated well and don't have a love/hate for fringe. My heart does go pitter-patter for the pink pom-pom fringe I sewed into a cherry-print table cloth for my little daughter. Love that!
I don't have any taste for fringe. My cat and dog on the other hand? They definitely have a taste for it, and so fringe never lasts for long in my house.
Burberry cashmere? Oh I'm sure they would find that exceptionally tasty.
I have fringe on two blankets, a beautiful alpaca geometric print one that my husband bought on a college trip in Peru, and a bright orange and green cotton blanket on my bed that we bought at Fab India. I don't think of myself as a fringe-lover but I think the fringe works well on both blankets. (I'm not sure I like that Burberry blanket, but I think it's the plaid turning me off, rather than the fringe).
I adore fringe, I'm not a huge fan of burberry though.
Don't like it...because my dog will eat it. Nope.
I am with hethyr and jenawithonen, my cats love fringe, try to chew it and if successful throw it up. I, therefore, hate it.
I enjoy fringe benefits
