Fashion designers are opening boutiques around the world, not featuring their clothes but featuring stylish home décor. With accents that mimic the designer’s signature fashion traits, pieces from cushions and towels to couches and poufs have been finding their way into homes everywhere.

Living Spaces

Bringing designers into living spaces doesn’t have to be daunting. Take a look at the pillows from Lacoste Home ($80 to $90 CDN); the neutral colors or the stripes are perfect for a bedroom, living room, dorm, man’s den or to add a nautical feel to any space. Kate Spade New York also has this Beautiful Type Art Print ($24 CDN) to add a little sparkle to an office, bedroom or a desk nook.

Adding some Desi decadence can be easy by incorporating some of these pieces from Rameshwaram Arts & Crafts. A go-to designer for India’s society set, their beautifully styled couches, chaises, armoires, statues and bathtubs are available to infuse a little South Asian twist into any room. Feel like a Moghul with intricately carved pieces like the Teak Wood Hand Carved Royal Swing ($1,174 US). They also offer stylish home fixtures such as the Handmade White Quartz Bath Tub and Basin ($2,301 US).

Kitchen

Hosting get-togethers with a stylish twist is super easy with any of these wares. Add pops of colour to your teas and brunches with the Greenwich Grove Teapot by Kate Spade New York ($150 CDN) and the Jasper Conran Chinoiserie Green Espresso Cup ($27.50 EURO) and Saucer ($22.50 EURO) set. For a sweet touch in the centre of the table add the Fairmont Park Dot/Stripe Salt and Pepper Shakers by Kate Spade New York ($30 EURO) and the or the Mythical Creatures Sugar Box designed by Kit Kemp for Wedgwood ($75 CDN). Lastly for the classiest toast, clink with the Vera Wang Duchesse Highball Set ($70 EURO).
