How to include the best of the ramp in your home!

Just like our clothes, our homes are also an extension of our personality and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be just as stylish. There are many reasons why it makes practical sense to pay attention to trends that conveniently cross over from the world of fashion to the world of home interior design. For starters, fashion trends are seasonal and incorporating them in our homes ensures to a certain extent that our abode is ready to brave the many challenges that the weather throws its way, be it the sweltering months of summer, the humid monsoon or cold winter days. Here are five of this year’s hottest fashion trends that will be the perfect addition to your home.

Animal prints

This year’s fashion is all about unabashed boldness, and leading the race for the hottest trend this season is animal print. Racy and glamorous, the trend has been quite a rage on the ramp this year, featuring prominently in collections of most big brands. When used cleverly, these prints can lend an edgy, chic vibe to your home’s interiors. Zebra and leopard prints are the most common choices when it comes to home decor and are perfect for creating interesting accents in your space. Subtler of the two, a zebra print works great as a statement rug in your living room or bedroom, as cushion covers on your living room furniture and even as upholstery for small furniture. To make a bolder statement, use a single leopard print upholstered ottoman or stool in the living room or a throw pillow cover in the bedroom while keeping the rest of the decor minimalist.

Midnight blue

Rich and sophisticated, midnight blue is a hot choice this season for formalwear like gowns and tuxedos and adding it to your home’s interiors can only enhance its luxe factor. Ideal for creating focal points in your space, midnight blue can be used to create an accent wall, especially when opted for in a high gloss finish. For an understated touch of elegance, use leather upholstery in midnight blue on your living room furniture. For a more glamorous effect, opt for midnight blue cushion covers in velvet or in a metallic print.

50 Shades of red

The colour red has made a huge comeback on the ramp this year and is just the colour you need for a warm and cozy home decor. While darker, richer shades of red like maroon and crimson are reminiscent of the plush Victorian era, vivid tones of the colour are perfect for imbuing your home with some Oriental charm. Use rich red upholstery with large floral prints to complement your Victorian style wooden furniture or go the Art Deco route by opting for statement furniture, rugs, curtains and cushions in brighter tones of the colour. In the bedroom, an embroidered red headboard or bed sheet can work as a great focal point.

Finish with brilliance

Sequins, mirrors and metallic tones make for a fashionably futuristic look, and are just the touch of brilliance you need to lift the look of your home’s interiors without much effort. Shimmery sheer curtains, satin bed linen, cushion and throw pillow covers embellished with sequins and mirror work, jewel-toned upholstery—all can work wonders to up the glamour quotient of your home, as long as you remember to counteract their brilliance with neutral hues.

Nude is the new white

The colour nude makes for an understated yet classy choice for clothes and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t channel some of its breezy elegance in your home too. Nude walls juxtaposed with bright wall art and exposed wood furniture not only exude a rustic, earthy charm but also make your space seem more breathable. For those who prefer to stick to basics, nude leather or chenille upholstery is a safe choice which will never go out of style. For simplicity with a hint of glamour, opt for sheer curtain fabric and sequinned cushion covers in the colour.
