Today marks the start of New York Fashion Week!  Sponsored by Mercedes-Benz, the 8-day event will debut the Spring 2014 collections from all the top designers.  So, in that spirit, I thought I would take a few of the expected trends and apply them to decorating the home.

1.  Military– It doesn’t look like this trend is going away any time soon.  Made up mainly of greens, tans, and browns, this style is often very structured with details like ball buttons and gold accents.

This look can also be carried over to the home with the use of greens and other neutrals.

2.  Safari– Animal print is and always will be in style.  These prints are expected to flood the runway this week.

At home, animal prints can be used almost anywhere.  You can keep it simple and subdued, or go super bold.  I’m dying for an antelope print rug in the office!  And wouldn’t some safari animals like giraffes and hippos be adorable painted like my gold dollar store dinos?

3.  Crisp whites– Nothing says Spring like bright white.  You can do white on white, or pair is with a bold color or print.  Lots of options!

At home, there are few things I love more than an all-white kitchen.  But this trend can really work anywhere in the house.

4.  Bold floral prints– Forget the tiny flowers…we want the big stuff!

This trend is easy to work into bedding and artwork.  If you are brave enough, it can also work on furniture and wallpaper.  Just be sure you really love it!!
