To try to establish what interior trends will rear their beautiful heads for AW15 one must always look to the catwalk. One trend I noticed in particular is our controversial friend nude. It was all over the catwalk, the red carpets and magazine covers.
Dolce and Gabanna AW15 'Hurrah for Mamma':
Well hurrah for the random use of babies in this show. Show me something cuter. I'm sure they must have doped them on something to keep the peskies quiet for the show. I'm also curious to know if they designed D&G AW15 nappies.. if so I want some to backstock some for when I pop kids out.
Jo Lo and some random from the Oscars in their nude ensembles:
Now in fashion there is a straightforward equation; Nude + fit girl = winner.
But in the home Nude = 1982 just called and asked for their nude bathroom suite back.
Oh, fancy tile trim you design maverick you...
But look here;

What'd'a know. It works!
Design tips for making nude work;
1. Always partner with a cooler colour; greys, whites, blacks. It needs a strong colour to ground it and keep it bold and not insipid.
2. Work natural timber finishes alongside; ash, lime-washed pine or oak, avoid wood with warm tones as you need an obvious contrast. (NB. Pic 2 above works only works with a warm wood floor as there's a solid block of a contrast colour in black separating the floor and nude wall)
3. Use coppers, golds, brass metals with nude. It brings in another warm dimension but in a contrasting finish works with, not against, a nude wall
4. Use accents to update your home; cushions for a sofa and bedding will make your home feel current and are a inexpensive update. Try H&M home for amazing deals
5. PAINT IT!!!
I would recommend 'Pink Ground' by Farrow and Ball. Pretty as a peach.
