Home Decor Ideas: Mix of Chic and Fabulous

By Fatima N.

Inspiration from the Homes of the Chic and Fabulous

Over the summer, I came across a book at the library called, "In The Pink: Dorothy Draper". A few flips of the pages and I was hooked. Dorothy Draper is one of the most iconic interior designers, famous for her signature cabbage rose chintz fabric and frequent use of stripes. Since then, I've been scouring the web for beautiful interiors, adding to my arsenal of dream room ideas. In this post, I have five home decor ideas of my favorite celebrity homes; an eclectic mix of people from all over the fashion industry...

1) This Mastic Moment

If that sounded familiar, it's because that was the hashtag for Anna Wintour's son's wedding,which was held at her house last summer. The house, located in Mastic, New York is a elegant estate fit for a Vogue editor. It's charming and homey; my favorite part is her personal library.

2) Home at the Hills

Everything about Lauren Conrad is so pin-able, including her home decor. Highlights include her Parisian boutique influenced walk in closet and her stunning bathroom setup. I also love the exposed brick near the winding staircase. 

 

3) Tory Burch in Color

Tory Burch, designer of the ubiquitous double T flat, took her home decor skills to another area: her Southampton estate. Like her flow-y tunics, prints are everywhere. I'm usually not a fan of prints, but she employed them tastefully. There's also this sort of Turkish-Persian infusion that really resonates with me.

 

4) Power House

Given that her blog has a bevy of minimalist decor inspiration (among other things), its no surprise that her home does too. Texture is everywhere, from the throw on her bed to the pillows on the furniture. She displays her books on a unused cart; love it! Rumi Neely always knows how to put things together.

 

5) Breakfast at Holly's

I know, I know. Holly Golightly is fictional. But the fact that her chic apartment is a treasure trove of decore inspiration is not! Using trunks as furniture? Using anything other then a couch as a couch? Brilliant. The house from the movie is actually on sale if you wanted to buy something iconic from cinema history.

Now, we all can't be Lauren Conrad. But the thing is, you don't have to be. It's your home, pull home decor ideas from different places.
