You may have recently heard of Pinterest and wondered what it is. Pinterest is a hot new social network that grew 429% from September to December 2011 and now is ahead of big names such as LinkedIn and Google+
Pinterest is fast becoming the most important source of inspiration for interior designers and decorator rugs.
Members "Pin" images of interiors on "Boards" organized under different categories. Visitors to Pinterest view boards and indicate which images they "like" and select some to re-pin to their own boards. Each time an image is re-pinned it carries the name of the original board from which it was copied, thereby giving it credit.
Pinterest offers a unique insight into which decorator rugs and interior styles are most popular.
Pinterest provides a unique insight into the changing tastes in interiors and decorator rugs. By looking at which interiors and decorator rugs get a high number of likes and re-pins, you can get a quick sense of what are the most popular styles, looks and colors among Pinterest members.
In the past the editors of Veranda, Architectural Digest and Elle Decor told us what was interior fashions and styles were becoming popular and which were fading. But the editors do not really know this and follow each other until all the magazines start looking the same.
Pinterest offers a wider range of decorator rugs and interior styles than the top magazines.
Now Pinterest members look at thousands of magazines, websites and blogs and tell us which decorating styles, colors and decorator rugs appeal to them the most. I have found a wider range of interiors and decorator rugs on Pinterest than in any of the magazines I subscribe to.
Here are 15 of the post popular interiors with decorator rugs from Pinterest. I would love to know if your taste in decorator rugs and interiors mesh with those of 3.3 million Pinterest members:

I am frequently surprised by some interiors that garner a high number of likes and re-pins while others that I think are amazing, get few.

Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld featured 150 shades of blue on a blue rug during Paris Fashion Week, January 2012.
Blue Rugs and geometric rugs have always been fashionable, but blue reached a new height last month when Karl Lagerfeld's entire new collection for Chanel was focused on the color blue. Lagerfeld said he chose blue because "blue is an optimistic color". Apparently the color blue is conducive to thinking of new possibilites.
For today's post I have selected 10 of my favorite rooms with blue rugs and geometric rugs with blue accents. I hope you will enjoy viewing and learning from these rooms.

How to design an original modern living room: Mix mid century modern furniture with a black floral needlepoint rug and colorful fabrics. Sources at the end of the post.
If you like fashion and enjoy interiors that have a distinctive personality then a great way to achieve this is to mix different styles and design periods in a creative way. One decorating style becoming increasingly popular today is the retro look of the 1940s, also called mid century modern. Often very simple designs, mid century modern furniture was made with the mass production methods of the time and, as such they are attracting the attention of interior designers looking for furniture that looks good, functions well, but without much fuss, i.e. without yards of fabric or elaborate wood carving. In honor of this current trend I’ve designed a living room with furniture and decorative accessories from the 1940s as well pieces inspired by that period. We get pleasure from seeing the unexpected, so I selected a black floral needlepoint rug from Asmara instead of selecting a mid century modern rug. Floral prints are the number one fashion trends on runways in New York, Paris and Milan, so mixing retro furnishings with a beautiful floral needlepoint rug gives this room a fresh, exciting and fashion forward feeling. Covering the upholstered furniture in bright fabrics inspired by the blue, green, rose and purple in the needlepoint rug creates a sophisticated and youthful energy. This living room is a fun mix of the past and the present and proves that the best modern interiors come from creatively mixing different styles and periods.

Orange, Coral and Tangerine were a hit on the fashion runways in Paris, Milan and London last month and already Hollywood stars have appeared in orange floral prints. So you might think that orange is a new fashion color. But just look at rooms from the 1960's and 70's by legendary decorators Billy Baldwin and David Hicks and you will see that orange rugs, coral rugs, terracotta rugs, tangerine walls, and citrus colored fabrics were very fashionable in the 60's and 70's and still are today with decorators Jamie Drake, Mary McDonald, Katie Ridder, David Easton and many others. The 16 high fashion interiors in this post are a great way to learn how to decorate with orange and it's many mellower shades.

Orange, coral and terracotta are flattering to the human skin and to everything around. Recall how nature scenes look most beautiful when seen in the orange light of late afternoon and early evening.
Orange is red with yellow added so it is full of light. If orange is used full strength it can overpower everything around it. In most of the interiors below the orange has been mellowed by adding a little yellow, white or pink to it. You will see how many different ways interior designer use orange. In many cases the orange is used on the walls or fabrics and the rug is a neutral color or a neutral with small amounts of orange in it.
1. David Hicks was the master of mixing small scale geometric patterns in decorator rugs and fabrics with antiques. The orange in the geometric rug is grounded by a dark brown background.
2. Billy Baldwin's timeless living room has a sublime color palette of orange, coral, dark brown, cream with pops of yellow, blue, green and pink grounded by a tan decorator rug. Image courtesy Peakofchicblog.
As you study the color palette in the rooms in this post, it will be helpful to keep the color wheel in mind. Notice how interior designers use colors adjacent to orange to create harmonious layering and use small amounts of colors from the opposite side of the color wheel to create pop.
3. Cote de Texas Blog featured this beautiful room by an unknown designer. The muted orange accents in the taupe and gray Oushak rug ground the vibrant orange of the silk drape.
4. Meg Braff's Chinoiserie themed entrance has a stunning color palette of orange with chinese red, white, yellow, blue and turquoise grounded by a taupe rug bordered in black.
5. Susan Nelson's imaginative color composition with orange has large amounts of blue and white grounded by a green and white geometric Asmara Needlepoint rug.
6. Melanie Elston gives the traditional furniture in this living room modern drama by pairing orange with colors from the opposite side of the color wheel: blue, plum and a purple decorator rug.
7. Jamie Drake's seating area shows the power of orange when used full strength. The white contemporary wool rug has pink, purple and lavender circles to cool down the orange a bit.
8. Mary McDonald has toned down the orange with grey and brown and restricted the color palette to just orange, brown, grey and white. The energy of the orange wall is pumped even more by the grey and white striped decorator rug.
9. Katie Ridder shows how to create energy and pop with small amounts of orange paired with colors from the opposite end of the color wheel and how to ground it with a brown and white decorator rug.
10. McMillen, Inc. President Betty Sherrill's living room shows how much impact a small amount of orange can make when nestled among soft colors. The floral needlepoint rug is by Asmara.
11. Meg Braff shows how orange can be softened by giving it a pink tone. This is a very calming color composition with pale yellow, pink, tan, turquoise and grounded by a beige geometric decorator rug.
12. Lisa Torbett used oranges with a lot of pink. The drapes are hand sewn from Asmara's Barcelona needlepoint rug which is a copy of a rug owned by the legendary fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga.
Peter Som's floral print as seen during New York Fashion Week. The print pairs orange with pink, yellow green and fuchsia.
13. David Easton mellows orange with a good amount of pink and surrounds it with soft beiges, taupe, yellow, tan, wood tones and a cream decorator rug.
14. D'Aquino Monaco uses an orange with so much pink that it could also be called a pink with some orange. The yellow and white contemporary wool rug lightens the effect of the dark plum drapes.
15. Eldon Wong's orange rug is softened by the gold geometric pattern. White, dark brown and tan create a warm ambience.
16. Christina Murphy's living is both warm and calm. The coral Oushak rug and the upholstery fabrics have energy, but they do not scream. The orange wall color has a good amount of white and some pink.

I have selected some of the most beautiful patterned fabrics from Chanel, Armani and Elie Saab at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week 2012 and paired them with decorator rugs from Asmara. Women's fashion's change every season but a good quality decorator rug lasts a lifetime. As the designer for Asmara, I live in the question "What kinds of decorator rugs will always look fashionable"?
Elie Saab's Oscar worthy leaf pattern dress with the Tivoli Decorator Rug in beige and gold.

Karl Lagerfeld's animal patterned dress with Mosaic decorator rug inspired by a 2000 year old Roman pavement stones.

In 20111, Analysis of Tweets from attendees of New York Fashion Week had predicted florals would be the No. 1 print pattern in 2012. Drew Barrymore and other stars (see below) appeared in prints today.
Would it be valuable if you knew before you purchased a decorator rug or a sofa if the look will stay fashionable for many years or if it will qucikly become dated? A major reason clients hire an interior designer is for the designers knowledge of decorating fashions. Designers who create timeless, fashion forward interiors usually enjoy repeat business from cleints.
Leading interior designers stay abreast of fashions and some even try to develop a longer term vision of where fashion may be heading in decorator rugs, fabrics and lifestyles.
Unfortunately, the traditional sources of fashion intelligence are not as informative as they used to be. Are you still enjoying leafing through Architectural Digest, Veranda, Elle Décor and House Beautiful? Are Design Center showrooms and the High Point Furniture Market inspiring to visit? Are fabric reps still bringing exciting new fabrics each season? Do you think these sources are no longer providing the market and fashion intelligence that you need?
As traditional sources of market and fashion intelligence dry up, the Internet is providing everyone a vast and confusing array of decorator rugs, furniture and lighting from untested sources. Clients are increasingly searching the web and bringing new styles of decorator rugs and furniture to their interior designer for consideration. Some clients may even buy a decorator rug or a sofa from a sale website and then discover too late that it does not produce the "Wow"! that they had hoped for.
Fortunately, the same Internet that has hurt traditional businesses, is now providing a new more scientific way to predict changes in fashion. Interior designers who learn to use the new sources will be able to better keep up with changes in decorating fashions.
A London based digital start-up called Editd has started an inovative fashion trend spotting service. Editd collects valuable fashion clues by searching and crawling websites of big and small fashion brands as well as by monitoring mentions of new fashions on Twitter, Facebook and blogs. Editd also collects Tweets and Facebook mentions from Fashion Show attendees in New York, Paris, Milan and London as well as from buyers at trade shows. Editd co-founder Julia Fowler was a fashion designer and she uses this background to make sense of the hundreds of thousands of tweets and Facebook mentions to come up with the "mind share" of a particular fashion.
But what do changes in women's fashion have to do with decorative fabrics and decorator rugs? I have been following trends in women's fashions for many years and have repeatedly seen trends that first appeared in women’s fashions appear in decorative fabrics and decorator rugs a year or two later. I am thrilled that we now have data from Editd to help all of us make more grounded predictions of fashion changes in decorator rugs and fabrics.
Here is an example of what you can learn:
After analyzing 300,000 daily tweets and updates from the 2012 Spring Summer New York Fashion Show at Lincoln Centre, Edita wrote:
“What people say on line, especially influencers or those actually at each show, is what we pay attention to in our analysis, because they provide us with the raw data to determine the success of a designer or style beyond an assuring nod from an infamous editor.
“According to Nielsen, opinions like these are more important to a label than you would imagine. Their quarterly social media report earlier this week found that active adult social networkers are 47% more likely to be heavy spenders on clothing, shoes and accessories.
Here are the top 10 Print fashions from the 2012 Spring, Summer Fashion Show in New York:
1. Floral
Seen in: Peter Som, Rodarte, Karen Walker
Flower power is back for SS12 with bold colors and blown-up scales being the talk of the town. Peter Som's photo-realist florals in hot pinks and vivid blues felt crisp and fresh. Over at Rodarte, the Mullevay sisters had a hoot playing with Van Gogh’s sunflowers, splashing them over 50s prom dresses. Retro florals at Karen Walker were freshened up with print-on-print layering.
2. Stripes

3. Graphics
Seen in: BCBG, Jen Kao, Carolina Herrera
4. Checked

When Lebanese designer Elie Saab presented his Spring 2012 Couture collection last week in Paris the talk was all about how popular he was with the Hollywood crowd.
"Oscar-Bound Starlets, Rejoice! Elie Saab Does Dreamy Beaded Gowns In Every Color For Spring 2012 Couture" screamed the headline in Glamour.com and concluded ".. Call me crazy but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw every last one of these stunning floor-sweepers on the red carpet come Oscars night."
An influential celebrity stylist told Style.com: "His dresses are shiny, uncomplicated, and easy to digest." "...You could dress half the Oscars red carpet with these looks and chances are, someone will. The craftsmanship is as impeccable as always and we’re digging the pastels as a response to way too many black sheer and lace dresses walking the runways and red carpets lately" opined tomandlorenzo.com.
Asmara Design Consultant Alexis McDermott paired Elie Saab's 2012 Paris haute couture dress with the Anatolia Oushak rug- a coral rug with green and cream accent colors.

The Paris haute couture show opened last week. The most flashy introduction was by Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld who featured 150 shades of blue suits on a blue rug.
Karl Lagerfeld took on the role of the pilot and treated guests to a jet set experience. Guests waited patiently outside the majestic Grand Palais undeterred by a wet Paris morning, eager to see the secret theme inside. Finally the "Cocos", as one fashionista called the followers of the house of Coco Chanel, walked nervously down a space age passage and gasped when they arrived at the catwalk: a life size jumbo-jet reconstructed complete with luggage lockers, walkway and a Champagne trolley.
The "passengers" were treated to a palette of over 150 silky shades of blue and gray presented on a contemporary blue rug- the colors of the sky.
Speaking backstage in the reconstructed cockpit, Lagerfeld said he used blue because it's an optimistic color.
Last week's haute couture shows felt more extravagant than in recent years as some fashion houses revealed rising sales, with Giorgio Armani reporting a 50% increase in 2011 despite the slow economy. US Vogue Editor Anna Wintour quipped: "Doesn't couture always buck the trend?"
I have paired Karl Lagerfeld's January 2012 introductions for Chanel with blue rugs from Asmara to show the remarkable coincidence in colors and patterns.
Chanel's Blue skirt suit and Asmara's Capri Blue Rug on the right exhibit an optimistic mood.
Chanel's gray and blue outfit on the left and Asmara's Zambezi blue rug on the right. There is a remarkable harmony between the Chanel suit and Asmara's blue and gray rug.

Vicente Wolfe once told me that he derived inspiration for interiors from the pastels and oil paintings of Edward Degas. Asmara artist Elizabeth Moisan recalled a sea scape of James Abbott McNeill Whistler when she painted Asmara's blue rugs and green rugs.
Today we will look at both Degas and Whistler paintings and rooms by Vicente Wolf, Steven Gambrel and Tobi Fairley to illustrate how Degas and Whistler's tonal colors can help you create beautiful, modern interiors. Get a cup of tea, settle in your favorite chair and enjoy the viewing experience.
Whistler, Harmony in Blue and Silver: Trouville, 1865, Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum, Boston. I saw this painting yesterday as the new Gardner Museum opened it's modern Renzo Piano wing. Whistler was so attached to this painting that once after selling it, he took it back. The story of how Mrs. Gardner succeeded in purchasing it from Whistler is interesting.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) said that art should be about the arrangement of colors in harmony and not with the literal portrayal of the world. They are evocative in the same way as a song in a foreign language evokes emotions even thought we do not understand the words. Whistler said "As music is the poetry of sound, so is painting the poetry of sight, and the subject-matter has nothing to do with harmony of sound or of color."
Whistler, Sea and Rain, 1865.
Whistler, Nocturne: Blue and Silver - Cremorne Lights, 1872
Whistler, Symphony in Grey and Green: The Ocean, 1866.
