Special Guest - Arcadian Lighting

Today I am blushing because a lead company in light fixtures ran across my little blog and found an interest.  I was contacted to see if I would be interested in "them" doing a guest post on the topic of linking fashion and interior design.  I of course said yes!  So welcome Arccadian Lighting, and thanks for stopping my my humble little blog.  Everyone make sure to stop by their website! It will really "turn you on." No pun intended.

Home decor trends follow on the heels of those on the runways - fabulous fashion-inspired interiors can always be traced back to particular "looks" from clothing designers. With similar colours, accessories, cuts, and shapes, a stunning dress can be the inspiration for incredible window treatments, table decorations or even a light fixture in a living room.

Forever yin and yang

The juxtaposition of black and white will forever be popular in fashion as well as in home decor - it's given an updated spin when accented by bold colours like red, yellow, green, and blue. This cozy bedroom looks streamlined with black and white wall art such as matching mirrors, animal silhouette plates and lamps, while the outfit above from the Etro spring collection looks stunning with a soft blouse and fun floral-patterned shorts.

Whites and creams always look elegant when paired with gold. An upscale living room with ecru furniture, carpeting and table decor looks instantly glamified with a gold pillow and furniture leg detailing. Just as it creates a sophisticated look for the home, white and gold is also a great combo for summer wear, such as the casual chic get-up above with subtle gold studding and a bedazzled belt.

Taupe and lavender

Soft shades like taupe and lavender still reign supreme in modern living rooms and on today's catwalks, and this season it's all about pastel palettes. A light purple-hued wall, taupe furniture, and an off-white ceiling light are perfect for a sophisticated sitting room, and it's evident Cotsello Tagliapietra is also a fan of mixing these subdued colours.

Some mustard on the side

Every good meal needs a condiment, and home decor as well as fashion is no exception. Mustard yellow is being worn and is being incorporated into contemporary spaces too, including this vintage sofa, textured area rug and a standing lighting fixture along with the breathtaking Valentino gown above. Darker touches, like the framed wall art and layered detailing on the neck of the dress, adds drama.
