Monogramming can go one of two ways: tacky or tasteful. Today, we are steering clear of the former and toward the latter. Before we delve into the types of personalization we like, we want to spend one short moment on the types of monograms to avoid. Generally, avoid anything that reads as a loud display or ostentatious. Monograms and bespoke products are classiest, in our opinion, when they are subtle.
That said, only some products look good with a monogram—no matter how small it may be. Towels, robes, and pillowcases, among other small pieces of decor, look great with a personalization, but bigger things, like furniture, for instance, could and should go without. So, ahead, we are sharing all of our personal favorite items you can, indeed, add a monogram or little bespoke detail, that makes it special.
