When it comes to home decorating, fashion trends and interior design trends are closely aligned.

Muted hues appear on fashion runways & on your home's wall.

Fashion and home decor trends are so closely aligned now that we can add a favorite new look or color scheme to both our wardrobes and our homes at the same time.

One day you're shopping for handbags in the hottest color and the next day you find yourself reaching for pillows in a matching shade.

If you're gearing up to decorate, fashion is where to look for trends that also have staying power at home: flowers in full bloom, pink, and neutrals with metallic and pearl accents. Fashion and home products designers are reworking these familiar favorites and turning them into something new.

These looks are finding expression in today's most inspired wallpaper designs -- an affordable and beautiful way to revitalize a tired-looking room.

Flowers are springing up everywhere.

At the spring 2008 Paris and New York runway shows, lively tosses of oversize flowers were splashed across dresses for day and evening, coats, handbags, even shoes. In wallpaper that translates to bursts of bulbs that transform average walls into meadows of color, or single blooms silhouetted for a sparer look. Either way, the budding rebirth of blooms inside the home is a breath of fresh air.

Pink is all grown up.

And while it remains the color of choice for young girls, pink's newfound acceptance in men's shirting and every aspect of women's wear -- from outerwear and umbrellas to handbags and heels -- allows pink to go boldly where it hasn't before in the home.

Wallpapers of whisper-soft pink embellished with glass beads, bold damasks in black-and-fuchsia, and flamingo pink saturated stripes are giving rooms an elegantly updated infusion of color that's fresh and inspired.

Long a fashion and decorating staple, neutrals have never before shone as brightly as they do now.

Accented with luminescent pearl tones, metallic overlays and shimmering embellishments, these otherwise muted hues appeared on runways as lacy suits of soft gold thread and soft sequins scattered on day dresses.

On the wall, patterns of understated taupe and cream are infused with pearlized inks for a look of continual candlelight, while copper and distressed silver accents lend rooms a sense of timeless glamour and a quiet roar of elegant style.

Bohemian looks in all their embellished glory have been among the most enduring trends in fashion for several seasons and are still going strong. Not defined by any one particular style, bohemian blends together different cultures and eras to create an intriguing mosaic of patterns.

Whether it's an embroidered jacket or wallpaper patterns inspired by Moroccan tiles and Indian paisleys, it's about easy living, mixing and matching, and an "anything goes" attitude of foolproof dressing and decorating.
