Favorites from the Architectural Digest Home Design Show

For the second year, I attended the Architectural Digest Home Design Show here in New York, and once again the event didn't disappoint. From custom tiles produced by Artsaics to a David Beahm-designed table set-up inspired by Prince William and Kate Middleton as part of DIFFA's Dining By Design, there was something for just about every design lover.

Don't you just see these tiles in a fashionista's bathroom? They're custom from Artsaics by Nelson Londono and so full of personality.

Here's another tile design from Artsaics. I love the white flowers against the black backdrop.

DIFFA's Dining By Design--My Favorites

David Beahm designed this table, drawing inspiration from Prince William and Kate Middleton. The green plates against the wood table would be perfect for the royal couple.

Green isn't at the top of my favorite colors list. However, this creation by Donald and Katherine Ianziero works so well for the spring season and could be a fun way to entertain guests over dinner.

Ralph Lauren stuck with a summery theme that has Hamptons stamped all over it. 

Vicente Wolf's design--perfect for a wedding party.

Incorporating lamps into a table setting, as Diane von Furstenberg has done here, adds a dose of drama to the atmosphere in such a good way.

 

I see this design from Eric Walker being used to celebrate a graduation, birthday or special wedding anniversary. That lighting fixture is gorgeous.

This is a design by Kravet. A color combination of lime green and deep purple can appeal to both men and women, which I like very much for a dinner party. The orchids were a nice touch.
