Another fall fashion season is just around the corner. In preparation for cooler temperatures and autumnal moods, Troy Beasley and Stephanie Henley of Beasley & Henley Interior Design have some tips for the fashion-lover who wants to infuse their home décor with runway trends. 3. Shadows on the wall. Darker colors are taking over the forecast for fall fashion with everyone from Marc Jacobs to Betsey Johnson using dark and moody colors. An easy way to introduce deep, moody colors into the home is by using shades of brown, tan, gray, red, blue and green in wall colors and major furniture and display pieces. Using muted gold, chartreuse and pumpkin as color accents through room accessories can also help create a fall-like feel. 4. It is impossible to overdo luxury. New fall fashion is exploding with fabrics that are luxurious to the touch and have an appealing visual texture such as those seen on the Prada & Miu Miu and Marni runways. Velvet, jacquard and mohair fabrics can accomplish this luxury in the home. Also try to incorporate shredded wool, lambs wool and cashmere. Hairy, textured rugs are a nice way to include these lavish fabrics in easily updatable ways. 5. The simple life. Classic designs with a masculine touch are very prevalent this fall, with designers including Kenneth Cole and Narciso Rodriguez sticking to simple and elegant lines. Using simple, straight lines add this classic feel to the space. Try to incorporate tufted headboards, sofas and chairs to achieve this look. Channel-backed sofas also create an elegant and classic feel.
