New York Fashion Week: 4 Trends You Can Decorate with Right Now
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.

Decorating Trend Alert: Dots & Stripes
|
|
|
|
Stripes never really go away, but now we’re seeing them used in a more contemporary way. Stronger, thicker statement versions have made their way into the home, especially on the floor. Try a striped rug for instant impact. |
|
|
|
|
|
Make way for a new kind of dot! Abstract variations on the classic circular print have us seeing spots—in a good way! Try a Dalmatian-inspired pattern on drapery or go for a splatter effect like the wall of this New York bedroom designed by Pat Healing. |
|
|
|
|
|
Quirky areas in your home, like this little nook, can be made into something special with a little glitz & glamour. Combine metallic stripes with polka dots like blogger Jennifer of Dimples and Tangles did. She used the same hue for both, but because most metallics act as neutrals, you can mix silver, gold, copper or pewter. |
|

Fashion designers have fallen in love with the combination of bold stripes and polka dots, sending confident yet lighthearted looks down the runways in a nautical color scheme (red, white, navy and black). Take cue from blogger Laura Trevey of Bright Bold & Beautiful who shared this lively bedroom. |

Martyn Lawrence Bullard Gives Us 4 Decorating Tips
Distinguished designer & television star Martyn Lawrence Bullard is so talented that he could probably decorate a room in his sleep. Check out the design tips we’ve learned from the Million Dollar Decorator:
Tip #1: Paper-backed fabric gives walls a gorgeous texture
Martyn often upholsters walls with rich fabrics, which explains why his work exudes such opulence. Here he has paper backed a paisley fabric and used it as panels on the walls of a bedroom to accentuate the wainscoting in the space.

Tip #2: Upholster your pillows in two different fabrics
Light & breezy prints are great for summer, but when winter rolls around, we often want to shift to a deeper color palette. Bullard’s genius solution to this is to upholster one set of pillows in summery fabrics and another set in complementary prints that are better suited for the cooler months. In the summer, put the darker pillows behind the lighter ones, and when the seasons change, all you have to do is switch them around for a new look!

Tip #3: Tightly control colors when layering with a multitude of patterns
Although most designers recommend a maximum of three patterns in a room, Bullard effortlessly mixes a plethora of them by tightly controlling the colors. Here, he has enveloped an entire room with neutral, rust and brown earth tone prints that all coordinate with each other.

Tip #4: Embrace odd architecture rather than trying to hide it
We all have that strange architectural feature in our home, whether it’s an awkward corner or a room that’s too small. Bullard’s way of handling tough spots like these?–Embrace & enhance them! In his own dining room, he made the slanted ceiling a standout element by adding fabric between the beams.

Exclusive Designer Tips: How to Layer a Room
Our summer Designer Tips Series is back this week with the scoop on how to layer a room so that it looks special. Bone up on your decorating dexterity with these great pointers:
Jennifer Cohler Mason, J. Cohler Mason Design
Jennifer Cohler Mason proves with this stunning dining room that layering doesn’t always mean using several colors. Here she went monochromatic with jaw-dropping turquoise—“It is important to select fabrics with texture which will help to add depth to the fabrics so they are not flat,” says Jennifer.
Jennifer’s Tip: “When layering a room, start with the rug which truly grounds a room and then layer on the furniture, window treatment, lighting and art.”

Eddie Lee, Eddie Lee Incorporated
Designer Eddie Lee knows that filling an entire room with toile is “not for everyone,” which is why he likes to balance it with, “blocks of solid coordinating colors on the upholstery for a fresh way to give a room a strong look without feeling too fussy.”
Eddie’s Tip: In decorating rooms, I like using a large rug to ground the space. I often layer a large solid rug (like sisal or solid wool) on top of a smaller oriental rug to frame a seating group.

Young Huh, Young Huh Interior Design
Young Huh turned a small powder room into a jewel box fit for a queen at this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House with layers of both traditional and modern elements. “The beautiful [floral] Hollyhock fabric upholstered on the walls contrasts with the black patent leather wainscoting, while the ceiling shimmers in a gold metallic wall covering,” explains Young.
Young’s Tip: When layering a room, think about the contrasts of pattern, geometry, surface and sheen.”

The soft colors of this bedroom designed by Kriste Michelini have just the calm quality you want in a room where relaxation is most important. The soothing paint color and dreamy window treatments create a true sanctuary.
Kriste’s Tip: “You definitely need the final layer of beautiful art and accessories to finish a room. Art seems to be often overlooked yet it can elevate a room from ordinary to extraordinary. Accessories, books and unique finds from your travels add soul and character to a room. It tells your life story.”

Designer Profile: NYFW Fall 2014 with Oscar de la Renta, Anna Sui, Derek Lam & Cynthia Rowley
Fashion and interior designers are inundated with color and texture all day long, and they bring the same fashionable sensibility to their homes as they do to their clothing collections. Some prefer a soothing neutral home environment whereas others like something more vibrant. As evidenced during last week’s New York Fashion Week, designers Cynthia Rowley, Oscar de la Renta, Anna Sui and Derek Lam approach their Fall 2014 collections and their homes with a similar design aesthetic. Check it out:
Cynthia Rowley
Cynthia Rowley loves color and pushes the envelope. Her Fall 2014 show features color blocking to its fullest. Wearing her collection, one could easily blend right in to her NYC townhouse.

Oscar de la Renta
First Ladies, socialites, and “ladies who lunch” wear Oscar’s magnificent clothing. More affordable yet still uber-elegant, his Lee Jofa fabric collection reflects his traditional sense of style in both his Connecticut home and in his 2014 collections.
