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:

Blood Orange HeaderJuicy 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.

BIKER BABE HEADERThe 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.

GROWNUPNBOHOThe 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.

We usually associate rich browns and plums with the fall season, but this time around, designers favored dusty pink, which we find refreshing. What’s great about this pale hue is that you can use it as spring approaches and it will still be on trend as we transition into the cooler season.

Look out for deconstructed versions of much beloved animal prints in the coming seasons. From snake and crocodile skin to zebra stripes and leopard spots, these wild patterns were given an abstract twist on the runway by designers like Prabal Gurung.

How to Make Your Outdoor Space Feel Like an Upscale Resort

You may not believe it, but there are only 24 days until spring! Get your outdoor space in shape with these four ideas that will have it feeling like a luxurious refuge in no time.

RUGS

Area rugs are often an afterthought for outdoor décor, but they really complete a look. If you have a large porch or outdoor space, consider using several outdoor rugs around seating areas.

MATCHING SETSeat cushions can take uncomfortable outdoor furniture to a soft, swanky level. Try using a matching outdoor pattern across the entire space. This creates that chic, unified look that resorts often have.

TENTJust like when you were a kid, tented spaces transport you to a magical mindset. Devising a grown-up version that incorporates flowing sheer fabrics draped over the sides of the tent will make you feel as if you’re lounging at a five-star retreat.

DINING AREAOutdoor dining areas often incorporate a mash-up of seating that doesn’t match. Unify the look by first choosing a beautiful tablecloth fabric and then make tieback seat cushions in prints that coordinate with it.

Timothy Corrigan’s Exclusive Decorating Tips!

Designer Timothy Corrigan certainly knows a thing or two about decorating. He’s been deemed “today’s tastemaker,” by Architectural Digest and boasts a slew of celeb and royal clients. Check out these exclusive, must-know decorating tips and beautiful rooms from the designer himself!

Timothy Corrigan Headshot

ON HIS FAVORITE COLOR SCHEME

Timothy’s Tip: “Blue and white is a perennial favorite of mine, and you can do it in different interpretations. In my own bedroom, I mixed a beautiful creamy/sandy/gold color with a ‘sagey’ blue-green and it is the most soothing combination. It’s difficult to drag me out of the room because I feel so comfortable and creative there.”

ON HOW TO USE TRADITIONAL PRINTS

Timothy’s Tip: “I like using traditional patterns that are either colored in an unusual way or that are somewhat over-scaled. I tend to use solid fabrics on the larger items (sofas, for example) and the printed fabrics on chairs, drapes or pillows. Always mix larger patterns with small patterns so that you don’t have too many prints fighting for the eye’s attention.”

ON ARCHITECTURALLY CHALLENGING SPACES

Timothy’s Tip: “Symmetry and well-scaled rooms are frequently overlooked in the initial architectural development. When I encounter rooms that are just ‘off’ I try to balance them out by adding visual weight or elements to the other side of the space in an effort to provide some psychological balance.”

ON THE MOST COMMON DECORATING MISTAKETimothy’s Tip: “The most common design mistake people make is not starting with a good furniture plan. If you don’t get the bones right when maximizing the space in terms of scale, passage/flow and placement, no matter how beautiful the furnishings are, the room won’t work for all of your needs. Get the basic structure right and then you can figure out how to make it look good.”

Spring’s Biggest Color Trend: Blue in Every Shade!


4 Ways to Transition Your Decor for Spring

Spring is almost here! Transition your home’s winter décor to something more suitable for the new season with these four ideas:

Pop of Color

If you’ve got a dark or neutral palette, adding in one or two pops of color on small pieces like a chair or pillows will liven things up for spring. Here, designer Emily Ruddo brings new life to grey & white with punches of watermelon pink and sea foam green.

Instantly update your bedroom for the warmer months by upholstering your headboard in a floral fabric. If you’re someone who likes to change your look often, you can create a DIY headboard slipcover.

Showcase Natural Light

We tend to use heavier drapes in the winter because they help insulate from the cold. As the temperatures rise, switch these out with something sheer. This is a great solution for lightening up décor elements that don’t feel as geared towards spring. Here, the velvet sofa feels seasonally appropriate thanks to the airiness of the sheer curtains that let in lots of natural light.

Work in Linen & Natural Materials

Linen, a fabric that has a relaxed and casual feeling to it, will go a long way in making your winter décor feel right for spring & summer. Slipcover a few key pieces, like your sofa, and finish the look with a rug made of natural materials like sisal or jute.

Disney’s updated and visually stunning Cinderella, starring Downton Abbey’s Lily James, premiered over the weekend, and we’re beyond amazed at the beauty of both the decor and the costumes. Check out a behind-the-scenes look at our favorite rooms from the set (designed by Casey Banwell and Francesca Lo Schiavo) and how to recreate some of these magical looks.

green with envy

We’re in love with Cate Blanchett’s costumes in this movie. Designer Sandy Powell donned Blanchett in frocks that could teach us all a thing or two about dressing in green for St. Patrick’s Day! We pulled together some patterns inspired by her looks that you can use in your home.

We wouldn’t mind lounging in the evil stepmother’s (Cate Blanchett) sumptuous bedroom. The space has a layered monochromatic look–deep red floral wallpaper, drapery and an Oriental rug create a look that feels deliciously dangerous and sexy.

Planning on hosting meals during the month of April? These decorating ideas will have your dining room looking upscale in no time!

drapery

Custom drapery looks far more luxurious than store-bought curtains that often look limp and lifeless. Going for custom drapes will give you more options on print and fabric content, and can be given an interlining, which adds fullness. Here, designer Miles Redd creates a lavish statement with turquoise silk drapery panels and a cornice.

Header TextBy choosing one color to riff on throughout the space, your dining room’s decor will look as if you’ve made a decisive look with a distinct point of view. Be sure to vary the textures, and possibly throw in a subtle print like Jennifer Lopez did in her California home, to give the look dimension.

rugAdding a rug that coordinates with your dining room’s current décor is an easy way to amp up the luxe-factor in a dining room. It can hide stains or blemishes on the floor and makes the space feel more complete, like this dining area by designer Schuyler Samperton.

How To: 4 Beautiful Ways to Use Fabric on Your Walls

$

Nomadic tents, medieval tapestries and sumptuous upholstered walls in European estates were all forerunners of today’s textile wallcoverings. This technique is extremely popular with interior designers, and now DecoratorsBest has made it available to everyone with our new textile wallcoverings line! Check out these four ways to use it on your walls:

CREATE PANELS

Textile wallcovering panels framed with picture molding really pop in this room by Martyn Lawrence Bullard. The designer to Glitterati including Elton John, Cher and Tamara Mellon says that his signature style is paper-backed fabric on walls, which gives them a gorgeous texture.

TRY IT ON ONE WALL

Suysel de Pedro Cunningham and Anne Maxwell Foster of the young design firm Tilton Fenwick used fabric for an accent wall in this bedroom. This is a great way to add emphasis to an area without overwhelming a room or your pocketbook.  In a recent interview with DecoratorsBest President Barbara Karpf, the designer duo explained, “We love fabric on walls because it provides texture and warmth to a room.”

PLAY MATCHMAKER

Using the same pattern for both upholstery and walls creates a cohesive look that visually enlarges a small space like a narrow hallway.

CONSIDER SOLID TEXTURES

Solid fabrics with plenty of texture provide a contemporary ambiance when used on walls. Gary McBournie, a traditional designer, loves to use all types of textile wallcoverings. “Fabric adds a ‘luxury-feel’ to any room as it handles light in a totally different way.  Generally the result is a warmer, more cozy space.” Here, he creates a luxurious look with an apple green textile wallcovering that enhances the floral drapery fabric and elegant antiques.

4 Exclusive Tips From The Domino Show House

Last week’s first-ever shop-able show house by Domino magazine was alight with young designers with contemporary visions. The show house, located at 15 William Street in NYC, featured four condominiums decorated by Antonino Buzetta, J+G Designs, Dekar Design & Jenny J. Norris. All merchandise is readily available and can be purchased from each room.ANTONINO BUZZETTA

Antonino Buzzetta along with Sebastian Pinon created a chic retreat with a tribal flair featuring Homeware’s furniture. Ethnic patterns peppered the entire space, tying several rooms together.

Tip: “Getting a little crazy with pattern is okay in our book, because it adds depth and interest” explains Pinon, “And in a small space, we like to paint the moulding the same color as the wall to visually raise the height of the ceiling.”

DEKAR DESIGN

Dekar Design brought some of our favorite trends to their apartment unit—marbleized prints (on the master bedroom’s headboard) and a mix of intricate geometric prints (in the living area). We love their eclectic combination of both sleek and rough-hewn Ballard pieces.

Tip: “We tried to layer on the patterns particularly in the living room.  We have blue, black, white and red and we threw it off with a mustard coffee table that gives an authentic touch so it feels like it’s been collected through the years”

J+G DESIGNS

One of the more colorful spaces of the show house, this apartment unit by J + G design feels refreshing with its skilled use of Thomasville furniture. Features that stood out to us were the abstract artwork that mimics the throw pillows in the living room, the fun confetti-like bedding in the kid’s room, and the pretty chinoiserie panels in the master bedroom.

Tip: “In a modern high rise city apartment, use a mix of textures to create a warm and cozy environment!”
