Latin American Influenced Interior Decor Trend 2

Spanish Style Hacienda Decor and Fashion Runway

Ralph Lauren’s collection of fabrics is modeled after traditional haciendas like the one above. Saturated red & turquoise prints layer beautifully with crisp black and white florals as well as serape stripes that capture the beauty of these grand, sun-drenched estates.

Rio de Janeiro is really having a moment! The city, which just hosted the World Cup and will do the same for the 2016 Olympics, is the main inspiration for Andrew Martin’s latest collection of fabric. The result is a collection rich in traditional South American culture, featuring Kilims, ombre effects and ethnic stripes.

Clarke Clarke Southbeach collection fabric

Inspired by the vibrancy of Miami’s South Beach neighborhood and its South American influence, Clarke & Clarke’s new collection of fashion-forward embroidered linens & jacquards come in a colorful array of daring Flamingo, Citrus and Sunset shades complemented by smoky neutrals.

Mexican Modernism, an emerging trend, pulls from a wide range of influences, with traditional Mexican textiles at the core. This style is ideal for those with a more contemporary taste. Try layering rugs and hanging a distressed novelty fabric panel, similar to this room designed by Nate Berkus.

Last week’s Fashion Week here in New York still has us reeling! Check out our favorite looks to grace the runways and how to recreate the look in your home:

Derek Lam’s Gingham

Derek Lam’s Spring collection has us sold on gingham. Normally a pattern associated with the rural girl-next-door aesthetic (think Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island), Lam cast new light on the pattern with deep V-neck sack dresses, exposed bandeaus, and a combination of black and blue. For decor, we like how both Hervé Pierre, creative director of Carolina Herrera, and Katie Armour, Matchbook Magazine co-founder, both use gingham in unexpected ways, too. Pierre’s canopy bed and long drapes defy odds by giving gingham a romantic 18^th century vibe, while Armour’s California living room gives a chic angle to the pattern with pinks walls, modern furniture and a touch of leopard print.

Peter Som & Rachel Comey’s Marble Prints

Swirly graphic marble prints were something fresh and new on the runways this season. Peter Som’s version looked surfer-girl/menswear cool (right down to the shoes) while Rachel Comey’s ready-to-wear version was a bit more romantic. Get the look with a winding pattern designed by Tina Turk or take a note from Kelly Wearstler’s caramel-hued marble walls.

Alberta Ferretti’s Mexican Flair

Alberta Ferretti’s fashion show was a fiesta of bright satin ribbons inspired by traditional Mexican textiles and clothing in varying widths and silky textures. Get the look in your home by combining pops of stripes in pillows or throws and pair it with other strong colors on the walls and furniture.

Burberry Prorsum’s Polka Dots

Once relegated to kids’ bedrooms and play rooms, Burberry Prorsum’s version of polka dots is fresh, punchy, and all grown up. The over-sized scale of the pattern on blouses and laser cut leather dresses is bringing these spots to into the realm of chic. In a room, pair it with a pop of color like Burberry did with their handbags.
