Happy April! As an interior designer, I’m excited that this month is National Decorating Month—and especially since it comes in line with spring, a great time to refresh home design with little facelifts here and there. For those of you interested in sprucing up your home for National Decorating Month, you’re in luck—I’ve gathered together […]
For today’s March fashion post, I’m still looking at retro influences, but this time from the ’70s. The geometric shapes and bright, bold colors popular during the mod ’60s era continued to be big in the ’70s—and not just with color blocking.

Fashion’s influence on interiors has brought mod ’60s retro looks to the forefront of design again. For anyone who watched Sunday’s Season 5 premiere of Mad Men, just think back to the clothing and interiors for an idea of the look. Bold, vibrant colors and geometric shapes are the name of the game. The mod […]
For today’s March fashion post, I want to look at another big spring 2012 trend: tropical looks. Much bolder than the pastel tones, island prints aren’t for the faint of heart when it comes to their wardrobe or their home design—but they’ve certainly been seen in both arenas.

As a continuation of my March series on fashion’s influence on interiors, today I want to look at how common themes in menswear have been popping up in home design lately. When it comes to menswear, pattern is king. Think pinstripes, plaids, houndstooth and herringbone manifested in neutrals and other strong hues. This suit is […]
You may remember that I’m doing something special this month on the blog; many of my March posts will be focused on fashion and its influence on interior design. What’s more striking than the high contrast of black and white?! I love to see these opposite values together, both on the runway and in the home. […]
You may remember that I’m doing something special this month on the blog; many of my March posts will be focused on fashion and its influence on interior design. Today’s post will focus on Art Deco style, a look that was a big part of Gucci’s Spring 2012 collection. You can see the sharp edges […]
This month on the blog, many of my posts will be focused on fashion and its influence on interior design, beginning with today’s post. Even fashion across the world influences design here, including tribal motifs. This interesting juxtaposition of pictures (below) from the Interiors by Stacey Cohen blog gives a great example, and I’ve found […]
Winter in Atlanta has been extremely mild this year, and we’ve already had spring-like weather. If you’re thinking about making some seasonal tweaks to your home design, look to spearmint as a great spring hue. Sensational Color reported that this minty green will be popular in fashion this spring and summer, and I think it’s […]
