Window Shopping Inspires Home Design

We look for design inspiration every time we are out and about...walking around our neighborhood, checking out homes even while window shopping. The visual merchandising teams at shops and boutiques are super creative and...

...come up with clever installations that we drool over and imagine in our own home. We spotted this silhouette wall at Barney's a few months ago and snapped a quick photo and filed it away in our inspiration notebook. We've been collecting silhouettes (like the one pictured above and also gems found at flea markets) and will be creating a silhouette photo wall similar to this one. Window shopping is a great way to gather inspiration for your space.

Have you picked up design ideas while window shopping?

Yup. Got photo gallery inspiration from a Banana Republic display and found a neat ceiling coverup idea just this weekend from Starbucks. (It wasn't a window display but it was useful.)
