4 Exclusive Tips From The Domino Show House
Last week’s first-ever shop-able show house by Domino magazine was alight with young designers with contemporary visions. The show house, located at 15 William Street in NYC, featured four condominiums decorated by Antonino Buzetta, J+G Designs, Dekar Design & Jenny J. Norris. All merchandise is readily available and can be purchased from each room.
Antonino Buzzetta along with Sebastian Pinon created a chic retreat with a tribal flair featuring Homeware’s furniture. Ethnic patterns peppered the entire space, tying several rooms together.
Tip: “Getting a little crazy with pattern is okay in our book, because it adds depth and interest” explains Pinon, “And in a small space, we like to paint the moulding the same color as the wall to visually raise the height of the ceiling.”

Dekar Design brought some of our favorite trends to their apartment unit—marbleized prints (on the master bedroom’s headboard) and a mix of intricate geometric prints (in the living area). We love their eclectic combination of both sleek and rough-hewn Ballard pieces.
Tip: “We tried to layer on the patterns particularly in the living room. We have blue, black, white and red and we threw it off with a mustard coffee table that gives an authentic touch so it feels like it’s been collected through the years”

One of the more colorful spaces of the show house, this apartment unit by J + G design feels refreshing with its skilled use of Thomasville furniture. Features that stood out to us were the abstract artwork that mimics the throw pillows in the living room, the fun confetti-like bedding in the kid’s room, and the pretty chinoiserie panels in the master bedroom.
Tip: “In a modern high rise city apartment, use a mix of textures to create a warm and cozy environment!”

Jenny J. Norris brought the ’70s back with Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams’ mid century furniture in a super-stylish way. Crushed velvet, luxurious furs and grasscloth accent walls are featured in this space.
Tip: “Use textured wall coverings like grass cloth to give dimension to a room.”

4 Tricks that Make Your Dining Room Look Like a Million Bucks
Planning on hosting meals during the month of April? These decorating ideas will have your dining room looking upscale in no time!
Custom drapery looks far more luxurious than store-bought curtains that often look limp and lifeless. Going for custom drapes will give you more options on print and fabric content, and can be given an interlining, which adds fullness. Here, designer Miles Redd creates a lavish statement with turquoise silk drapery panels and a cornice.

By choosing one color to riff on throughout the space, your dining room’s decor will look as if you’ve made a decisive look with a distinct point of view. Be sure to vary the textures, and possibly throw in a subtle print like Jennifer Lopez did in her California home, to give the look dimension.

Adding a rug that coordinates with your dining room’s current décor is an easy way to amp up the luxe-factor in a dining room. It can hide stains or blemishes on the floor and makes the space feel more complete, like this dining area by designer Schuyler Samperton.

A large piece of artwork makes a strong impression. If you don’t have the budget to buy an original piece, opt for a large-scale print. We like how this dining room’s chairs echo the colors in the piece of art on the wall.

Spring is almost here! Transition your home’s winter décor to something more suitable for the new season with these four ideas:
If you’ve got a dark or neutral palette, adding in one or two pops of color on small pieces like a chair or pillows will liven things up for spring. Here, designer Emily Ruddo brings new life to grey & white with punches of watermelon pink and sea foam green.

Instantly update your bedroom for the warmer months by upholstering your headboard in a floral fabric. If you’re someone who likes to change your look often, you can create a DIY headboard slipcover.

We tend to use heavier drapes in the winter because they help insulate from the cold. As the temperatures rise, switch these out with something sheer. This is a great solution for lightening up décor elements that don’t feel as geared towards spring. Here, the velvet sofa feels seasonally appropriate thanks to the airiness of the sheer curtains that let in lots of natural light.

Linen, a fabric that has a relaxed and casual feeling to it, will go a long way in making your winter décor feel right for spring & summer. Slipcover a few key pieces, like your sofa, and finish the look with a rug made of natural materials like sisal or jute.

Fall 2015 New York Fashion Week is well underway, and although designers work a season ahead, we spotted four trends that you can decorate your home with right now! Check them out:
Juicy blood orange accents popped on the catwalk and were paired with both neutrals and color. This bedroom by Jonathan Adler incorporates the hue in a playful way that isn’t overdone.

The biker look was prevalent on runways including Coach. Lots of leather, black and motorcycle accessories were softened by fur, silk, and velvet which gives it more of a feminine vibe. At home, stick with black and vary the textures like this living room in Alexander Wang’s apartment.

The bohemian look that we’ve seen for years is now all grown up! This conventionally easygoing, eclectic look has been made appropriate for adults with sophisticated silhouettes, elegant fabrics and a neutral palette. We like how this living room features traditional sofas upholstered in a subtle paisley topped with ethnic pillows.

Bold blocks of black and white in abstract arrangements were abundant in shows like Jonathan Simkhai and Lisa Perry. To translate the look to your home, we suggest choosing a single place to showcase the print like an accent wall or area rug.

4 Ways to Incorporate Cute Creature-Themed Prints into Your Home
Fun critter-themed prints like butterflies, birds and turtles are a fun way to liven up a room! Check out these ways to incorporate them into your home in a refined, grown-up way.
Mixing contrasting styles is a major décor trend that we see sticking around. Give playful prints of wild things a dose of sophistication by pairing it with elegant pieces. Here, artist Hunt Slonem’s tortoise-themed fabric (his personal favorite from his new collection) is upholstered onto ornate 19th century chairs.

In a similar way, cheerful animal prints can add a sense of whimsy to spaces with modern architectural features. This adds softness and warmth to features that can otherwise feel a bit sterile. Style editor Chassie Post’s home is a prime example of this—we especially love how the butterfly wallpaper looks in the kitchen.

Instead of using an animal-themed print all over your walls, try incorporating a pattern on one piece of furniture. Here, designer Nick Olsen used a fabric fit with colorful parrots on the sofa of this bedroom. Olsen’s look incorporates a lot of color and pattern, but you can use the bird print as the single pop of color in the space, too.

Prints with animals in them can be subtle, too! Just choose a version that is neutral in color. This bedroom showcases a large Cole & Son Flamingo wall covering in a grey/taupe color way, which tones down the large scale of the pattern, making it soothing enough for a bedroom.
