Ever looked at your favorite blouse and thought you could design a room around it? The print is so eye-catching and rich that it could be a focal point of color, or perhaps the shape of it could easily translate to the carving in the back of the chair. Fashion design is now taking on interior design, with many well-known fashion designers creating their own fabric or furniture lines. The lines are easily blurred with so many common influences between them.
High-end fashion designers like Oscar de la Renta are creating an incredible collection of seating that mimics not only the influences from his clothes but elements of his own home. Trina Turk and Missoni are commonly associated with high fashion and are translating their looks into fabrics. Turk loves bright colors and graphic patterns and has brought a whole new look by intermixing them. The house of Missoni is known for its flame stitch weave of colors, that are elegant yet subtle, and has also created a whole line of textiles and rugs around it.
Fashion designers have long known what you are yearning for, and have a keen sense of color and the latest trends. It is natural that their influence spills over into the home furnishings market, allowing you to personalize your interiors the same way you do your wardrobe. Home furnishings lines are reacting to this smart way of partnering and looking to the most influential people in fashion.
You can find many more collections by fashion designers at our well-known NC furniture retailers in Hickory Furniture Mart. The Mart features an abundance of lines that will cater to your fashionista side, from lighting and rugs to upholstery and case goods.
