Just look at the line-up of heavy weight Fashionistas who now have home decor lines; Georgio Armani, Calvin Klein, Nicole Miller and most recently, Vera Wang. She may be late to the game, but form follows function and design follows fashion this season more than ever!
Spring fever can make even the trend-phobic excited to perk up their wardrobe with a hot new fashion find. Likewise, infusing hip, seasonal style into your design efforts will give your home a fresh new look without requiring a total makeover. Here are some of blinkdecor’s favorite spring trends to carry you from runway to room.
Precious Metals- Spring fashion continues with the influence of metallics: mixed metals of silver, gold and copper tones. Could we see gold and brass finishes soon replacing brushed nickel for today’s modern kitchen and bath fixtures? Tile collections are embracing these elements as well.
Dan Bleier Studio presents an amazing glass tile collection, many with metallic overlay. In addition to their gold and silver leaf selections, the copper hues look especially dazzling. Copper elements are also showing up in modern kitchen appliances. The Three-Door Copper Infused Refrigerated Cabinet from
Perlick
gives off a warmer vibe than the ubiquitous stainless steel appliance.
Let it Shine- Patent Leather is exploding in accessories such as wide belts and shiny shoes this season. The next step in home dcor beyond the high gloss lacquer that we’ve seen in past seasons (yet still love) is the pop of shiny leather in furnishings and home accents. A favorite find is from the glamorous home collection from
Mariana Antinori Inc.. Their MB2 Bench is a deco-inspired “go anywhere” piece, patent leather seat available in white, black or red, framed in cherry wood. A striking mid-century chandelier such as the Venini Sputnik Chandelier from
DMI would also add brilliant shine to any home decor.
Asian Fusion - touches of Chinoiserie and Cherry Blossom Prints look equally fresh on the catwalk and in your home this spring. The look works best as an accent, such as the charming floral pillows from
Amy Butler's textile collection. The most current interpretation of print this season shows up in vivid colors such as bright yellow, grass green and cherry red. We love the Dizzie Side Tables from
Suiteny.com, a series of low occasional tables in tempered, lacquered or opaque satin glass. The entire collection from Suite New York epitomizes timeless trends.
