When it comes to inspiration, not all rooms need to be full interpretations of runway looks. Sometimes, the looks can provide inspiration in smaller doses, filling in corners, hallways, or little areas that are lacking direction. There have been many times where I’ve created  smaller vignettes in my own home based on colors, styles or patterns from the pages of fashion magazines…

To give you a great example of this, I’ve paired this fall look from Basso & Brooke with a bedroom from m. design. How many times have you moved into a new space with the bare essentials, only to get stumped on where to begin with accessories? In this case, we’re pulling the colors from a more traditional look to apply them in a modern space. The green becomes the main accent color, while touches of cream and gold add some great contrast and a touch of glamour. The mirror even provides a hint of the sophistication we see in the runway style, without it appearing out of place. A great reason why you should never rule out something you’re intitially drawn to simply based on the overall look – sometimes the inspiration is really in the details.
