Feel like bringing something fun and fancy home this week? Lace is a good choice — shown here in tones of black and white, it can go from boho to traditional to goth.

Frilly floor

Amazing Lace modular carpet tiles from FLOR put a little adornment underfoot. Mixed with a few hits of bright color, they’re a kicky surprise in the bedroom. $11.99 per tile.

See-through storage

Brocade’s lace-cut bath cabinet can stow your towels and other bathroom essentials in style. Just keep the unmentionables behind (solid) closed doors. $299. brocadehome.com.

Hippie chic

Crochet-style patterns give Roost’s wavy glass lace vase a beachy, handcrafted vibe. Throw in some wildflowers for a simple summer centerpiece. $52. Bazar, 3350 N. Paulina St., 773-388-9851, bazar-online.com.

Lacy place

Anthropologie’s canvas Mina place mats give lace an ethnic, intaglio feel. $32 for set of four. anthropologie.com.

Gothic beauties

Thomas Paul’s dinner plates give Grandma’s doilies a little punk-rock attitude. Just don’t try smashing them — they’re melamine. $36 for a set of four. elsewares.com.
