From New York to Milan to London, Fashion Week is taking our social media feeds by storm. New silhouettes, colors, designs and talent: this is what Fashion Weeks during this time of the year showcase to the world, inspiring most of us to get our wardrobes prepped for the new season.



We’re aware that most fashion trends usually find their way into home decor, in some avatar or another. Recently, we spoke about design inspirations from India’s very own Lakmé Fashion Week that we could bring into our homes. Now, we take you on a trip to check out the recently-concluded London Fashion Week (Spring Summer 2017) and share a few tips on how to introduce the best British trends into your home.



#Trend 1: Powerful Pink

Fashion week in London never seems complete without a splash of pink on the runway, and this season was no different. Temperly, Preen, Ryan Lo and Molly Goddard all showcased pretty pink prom dress, midi dresses and even pink leather jackets in a rosy colour palette than ranged from soft pastels to bright bubblegum hues.



When bringing pink into your home, the trick is to select the right hue. Use softer blush shades in the bedroom as this will help create a relaxed and warm look. Achieve this via the wallpaper, curtains or bed linen. Also ensure that the other colors you choose for the room complement this shade of pink, to avoid having the space look gaudy. If you are feeling daring and want to experiment with a brighter shade to add pop, use it in a smaller space, like an alcove wall, to create a statement. A stand-alone, bright chair or couch can also help make your room more vibrant. As they rightly say, less is more.

#Trend 2: Gorgeous Gingham

Yes, that’s correct. The classic picnic check is back this season and in some of the most innovative forms that we have seen walk down a runway. From floor-length dresses to short, flirty numbers to preppy summer sundresses – designers used this pattern to create stunning pieces that moved away the casual ‘farmer’ look this pattern usually brings to mind.



We’ve recently written about gingham for the home and we’re delighted that this trend is still making waves. If you are incorporating this look into your decor, get creative and think beyond the traditional table clothes and napkins. Instead, consider lampshades, statement walls, couches and ottomans. Be it to create a comfy cottage look or a chic Parisian apartment vibe, this versatile pattern is sure to bring character to your home. When using gingham, ensure that it is the only pattern in the room to make an impactful statement, as you will otherwise run the risk of making the space look alarmingly overdone.



#Trend 3: Delightful Denim

There is no argument that denim is a staple wardrobe piece. At London Fashion Week, distressed denims stormed the runway. Marques’ Almeida’s oversized jackets and shorts; Preen’s crop tops and skirts for Thornton Bregazzi; and frayed jeans by Versus made quite a statement on the ramps.



Believe it or not, denim can be beautifully incorporated into your home. When done right, it can bring enduring style to any space with its versatility and interesting texture. When choosing a shade of denim, think about it the way you do when selecting pieces for your wardrobe. Lighter/frayed denims work well for casual and family spaces while darker, indigo shades work better in living areas or studies.
