I love
how fashion and home design are in a sense connected. Usually the colors that
are in style for the fashion industry are usually the same colors that are in
style for the design industry, and classic color combinations will always be
classic color combinations across the board. Whenever I add pillows or any
decorative elements to a room I feel like I am ‘dressing’ it so to speak, and
it is really a neat thing to think that two different industries can be bridged
by their commonalities. Today Copper Klein has written a beautiful post on when
high fashion meets home design.
Fashion
and design are closely connected, enabling us to express our own personalities
and tastes through our sense of style. When combined, these two infinitely
creative worlds provide us with an inexhaustible source of inspiration. From
tantalising colour schemes and patterns to gentle textiles and mesmerising
accessories, there are numerous inspiring opportunities for bringing high
fashion and home design together.
The World Of Black And White
As an emblem of elegance in both fashion and home
design, the black-and-white combo can be found in both wardrobes and homes. Despite its
monochromatic nature, this combination can be daring and authentic, creating a
stylish, striking contrast. As such, it’s the perfect choice for high-style
homes where subtlety and sophistication are the ultimate goals. While both
black and white can be used as the backdrop, they work perfectly together in
creating an understated, yet daring look. For instance, a white backdrop of an
elegant kitchen can gain a strong character when combined with black cabinets
and decorative details. This stylish combination gains a completely different
dimension when used for subtle, yet impactful patterns, letting the form shine
through contrast.
Neutrals For a Stylish Expression
Whether you’re a fashionista or a design enthusiast
(or both), you know that neutrals have a special place on both fashion runways
and in our homes. Their sophistication stems from their neutrality, making them
always welcome in both our closets and living spaces. Neutrals are one of the
top choices for fashion and design investment pieces. This year, a particular
hue has emerged as the star among neutrals – khaki. Khaki shades have been
dominating fashion shows, and they have found their way into our homes, as
well. In fact, khaki will be combined with different shades of yellow, another
colour that has taken the fashion world by storm. In home décor, this
combination will be used for creating a comfortable, graceful and joyful look.
Nature As Inspiration
Mother Nature has been the primary source of
inspiration for both fashion and home designers. This is best reflected through
colour and material choices. While nature-inspired palettes will give our homes
a sense of effortless beauty, materials will be used for creating a casual,
soothing vibe. Recycled teak will be used in home design as a statement
wallcovering, creating a somewhat unusual, but certainly beautiful look.
Simplicity As Elegance
High-style in both fashion and home design is more
about elegance achieved through simplicity rather than excessiveness. A great
number of fashionistas and home designers know how to create a wow effect using
a single statement piece. Subtlety, minimalism and simplicity are the main
principles used in high-style homes, creating an ambience of glamour and
elegance. For instance, a modern bathroom can be decorated with a stylish sleek bathtub used
as an understated, yet impactful focal point. The minimalist environment is the
perfect backdrop for such a detail, allowing its form of clean lines to come
into focus.
Textiles And Texture Go Hand In Hand
Lush, quality textiles and rich texture are of the
utmost importance in both fashion and home design. They are used to create a
layered look where texture creates authentic visual appeal. In home décor, this
trend is heavily present. From elegant white lacy throw pillows and knitted
throws to faux fur covers and rugs and velvet curtains, these materials can create
a truly royal ambience where texture dominates. Texture is also present in
wallpaper designs, giving our homes an authentic flair through mesmerising
accent walls.
Feathery Accessories Work Both Ways
The year of 2018 has brought feathers
under the spotlight of both fashion shows and home trends. While in fashion,
feather accents and even coats are seen on runways, in home décor, they are
used as playful embellishments. Feather-inspired wallpaper is also a popular
choice in home design, adding to the authenticity of our living spaces.
Florals Have Gone Big
Floral patterns have always been popular in fashion
and home décor, but it seems that they have really gone big this year. While an
abundance of floral designs can be seen on the fashion scene, florals are used
for interior walls and accent details in home design. However, not only will
flourishing blooms decorate our walls, but they will also be a source of colour
inspiration, bringing shades of periwinkle, rose and dandelion.
Traditional Floors For A Timeless Appeal
Traditional Floors For A Timeless Appeal
Tradition matters in both fashion and home design,
bringing that timeless appeal. Traditional designs will be used to transform
the floor into a true design statement. In particular, vintage rugs will be an
omnipresent embellishment, introducing remarkable traditional textures and
patterns to interior spaces. Typically, they will feature subtle palettes of
soft blues and neutrals, allowing their intricate designs to come to the
forefront. Area rugs that are slightly faded are widely embraced in home décor,
providing a sense of antique beauty.
When fashion and home design meet, they create a new
world of inspiration. High-style fashion trends are not only elegant, but also
authentic and impactful, giving our homes timeless and authentic appeal.
