Fashion vs. Interior Design...

After being in New York during this last week’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, Fall 2012, I was inspired to take a look into just how different, or what turns out to be how similar, fashion and interior design really are!

If you take a look at many of the top trends that are currently invading the fashion runway you will see many of the same looks, colors, and patterns used in today’s most trendy interiors. They are similar on so many levels….from bright, almost neon, colors to fun and funky patterns. For example, 2012’s Pantone “Color of the Year” was declared Tango Tangerine and can be seen while flipping through the pages of Vogue or by taking a look at Elle Décor. From lamps and pants to rugs and shrugs and everywhere in between!!! ;) Color Blocking has also quickly become the newest craze. Whether it’s bold primary colors or fun and flirty colors, this trend can be implemented into almost every taste and style. If you are thinking of re-decorating your home, I encourage you to first take a look at one of your favorite outfits or fashion trends…You just never know what might inspire you!?!?!

XoXo
