Interiors Inspired by the Runway

Inspiration is everywhere - in nature, architecture, people, and especially fashion. I've pulled 3 looks from NY Fashion Week's Fall 2010 Runway, and each ensemble inspired a color palette that could easily be transformed into an interior. Not only can you draw color schemes from fashion, you can also find inspiration on mixing different materials and textures to create an unforgettable space. For example, mix it up with leather and cashmere or faux-fur and metallic, chrome and rustic wood...you get the idea! What inspires your interiors?

  2. I am really loving the second room/outfit! I love the very "berry" color pallette with a mix of fur and touches of gold... so glamorous- with a touch of quirk! (like the black liptick!)
    Love the post!

  5. Excellent post!! I love all of the inspiration outfits and rooms (KW is my idol)- you did such a great job matching each one! I think the 3rd pairing is my favourite- the room is a perfect representation of the matching outfit-

  6. this is great. it's so important to know that inspiration can come from anywhere, especially for those who don't think they are decor-savvy.

  11. As a designer too I've seen that trends go across the board - fashion - interiors - gardens - papercrafts - they're all the same trends following on from one & other & often simultaneous. Texture is so important & something I find people consider last unfortunately or least...I would love to know how you created your colour swatch card photos you've displayed between your runway & interior images. I'd love to do the same on my blog {which is all about papercrafts so not in competition to yours} but I follow yours for the sake of my own home ;-D Thanks!
