HomeSlides: Jump On the Hot Faux Bois Trend

From tableware to furniture, you can't throw a stick in a home accessory shop these days without hitting a faux bois item.

A what, you ask?

Faux bois is French for fake wood, and the term can be applied to pretty much anything that mimics the look of wood grain (but isn't actually made of wood). Popular in the U.S. in the 1940s, faux bois is back in a major way. Modern, organic interpretations of the trend are appearing in the pages of savvy home mags from Domino to Dwell.

Check out our SLIDESHOW for some of the most chic faux bois housewares in the hive.
