One afternoon, while trying to gather ideas for my next around-the-house project, I found an article that changed my perception of my future “dream home.” You see, I love fashion, I love clothes, I love styling my friends and family, designers…the whole industry. But when it comes to home decor, I am not as confident. So I often jump online looking for home ideas and inspiration, hoping that our house will eventually exude the look and feel of “The Queeneys.” It was with pure delight that I stumbled upon loftlife’s blog Rooms from the Runway.
Written by interior designer Cassandra LaValle, Rooms from the Runway brilliantly takes your favorite looks from designer fashion shows and creates home design based on your preferred styles. I know! I couldn’t believe my eyes. So many times I have found myself looking at magazines, watching fashion shows and basically drooling. And now I can surround myself in that particular aesthetic. Amazing!
Once I found one picture, I simply couldn’t stop. Below are some of our favorite Rooms from the Runway translations.
In the example below, LaValle takes a look from Aquascutum’s fall runway show, and matches it to an actual bedroom to show how to crossover the look. Who’s bedroom? It’s actually a TETO favorite, Kate Spade.

The next look is LaValle’s translation of Masculine Modern. She took a look from Carlos Miele’s Fall 2009 runway show. Miele paired a classic evening gown with a gray leather jacket, mixing the looks of feminine and masculine, an aesthetic that works beautifully in a dining room.

The next look comes from 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2010 collection. Lim liberally paired peach and red in a few ensembles. How do you create a comfortable, yet stylish space using the two?

And finally, her are a few room that stilled my heart, I am determined to execute them in my own home. I am smitten with her translation of Alexis Mabille into a home office, and then of course Chanel and Balmain into a home entryway. Brilliant on every level.

I love the Alexis Mabille room! That’s a great clean look for photos! Adam Scott, who I love is being sponsored by Aquascutum this fall. Can’t wait to see his style on the golf course!
Hi Savvy Sista’s,
I have not stopped by in a while, but my little voice must have told me you were doing an interior related post! I love it! I want a whole room inspired by Chanel
I’m going to re-tweet this now. xo ~ Annie
