Most people recognize a monogram as initials or a set of letters combined to make one sign of identity. A monogram was first used as a royal signature and was originally seen on coins and artwork to identify people of importance. During the Victorian era members of high class society started adopting the monogram to be used as a symbol that represented their place in society.
Female monograms had the first initial on the left, middle initial on the right, and last initial embroidered larger in the middle. That is hardly the case anymore. Now a days you will find monograms on just about everything: bags, belts, shoes, sheets, pillows, towels, car seats and stationery. You will see playful, whimsical, traditional, understated and elegant monograms these days. Not to mention a monogram can now be a whole name rather than just initials.
In regards to interiors I think that you should have no reason not to monogram towels, bedding, accessories and kitchen goods but just use it in moderation. If you decide to get monogrammed towels then hold off on the monogrammed sheets or lamp shades. If you choose to monogram your glasses then pair them with non-monogrammed flatware. Monogramming is an easy way to make a room or accessories look clean, crisp and elegant, be careful however because you can easily over do it and need to know when enough is enough.
