I’ve loved quatrefoil patterns for some time now. Maybe it’s because of their symbolism – quatrefoil means “four leaves” and the pattern represents good luck. Who couldn’t use a little of that vibe?
Maybe it’s the repetitive symmetry, kinda like the imperial trellis trend I blogged about here.
Maybe because there’s a historical familiarity to the design – it’s been a common theme in architectural and Christian symbolism for centuries.

Whatever the reason, I can’t get enough of it. The good thing is, it’s popping up all over the place.
While I was working on an On-Line Design Consultation this week, I chose a quatrefoil mirror for above my client’s entry table. The one my client and I loved was over $500 from Horchow. Then I found a similar mirror from Lowes for only $65. Score!!!
How do you feel about the quatrefoil trend?
I love it too. It looks modern and fresh and yet still feels classic.
yeah, it does feel classic but not too “traditional”
Hey Kristie… I did not know there was a name for this design. Now I have to goggle quatrefoil so I make sure I pronounce it correctly 🙂 and what a great deal you found at Lowes!!! XoXo
katie, if you’re pronouncing it “goggle” you probably SHOULD find out the correct pronunciation for quatrefoil – haha, just couldn’t resist 🙂
Oooopps!!! 😉
Stunning fabric on that cushion! I even like the pink..lol.
You can put me down for a “yes” on this trend. Love it!
LOWES?! Are you kidding me?? Wow. I love this shape as well.
Warmly, Michelle
I’ve definitely been running into the quatrefoil shape a bit with my furniture, accessories, and fabric suppliers.
Ragan, Do you think this pattern is appealing to your clients? I’m finding that mine are not necessarily aware of it or asking for it, but they love it when I present to them as an option.
this is the pattern I asked you about when you were at my house. now we know what it is called.
I love it! I saw someone use a quaterfoul stensil for the backsplash instead of tile and it looked fabulous!
