Su Casa member Katiepwise recently moved to Washington DC, where she's done a fabulous job of making her apartment simultaneously vibrant and cozy. Describing her style, she says, "I love bright colors and am not afraid to use them. I mix Ikea furniture with hand-me-down pieces from family.
Summer Style: Ketchup Bottle Candle
For some reason, I think of Summer as the most casual of all the seasons. Maybe it's the memories of running around barefoot in the grass, the low-key attitude given off by shorts and T-shirt ensembles, or that Summer vacations inherently equate ditching your suit and tie, but whatever it is, it certainly allows for a little kitsch. That's why I'm so enamored with this Ketchup Bottle Candle ($13.95): it's the ultimate kitschy lighting for your leisurely Summer barbecue.

Inspired: Christian Dior's Fall 2010 Juicy Hues
Flipping through photos from Christian Dior's 2010 Fall Couture show, I noticed a theme of bright, juicy hues. As FabSugar noted, innerwear (corsets, garters, etc.) also played a major role, but considering how unpopular this corset-inspired chandelier was, I don't see lingerie motifs succeeding in the interior design world. These tangerine, pop pink, and chartreuse colors, on the other hand, would be a fun addition to any home — modern or traditional.The citrus-colored seat on this Colorful French Accent Chair ($349) from Wisteria, for instance, pops against its carved oak frame, jazzing up what I imagine is a conservative room.
Fall Style: Orange Exteriors
Orange isn't just for pumpkins. While it's one of the more unusual colors for painting the exterior of your home, it can look great when executed well. I especially love the bright, poppy colors of this home.

Inspired: Nanette Lepore 2010 Spring
New York Fashion Week continues to wow with design inspiration, and Nanette Lepore's Spring 2010 show was no exception.

Do You Decorate Your Stairwell?
Your stairwell may not be your first priority in decorating, but you can still make an impact there. Whether you go for an understated look with a trio of small photographs and a plant, or bold with a leopard-print stair runner, bright pink walls, and a glitzy chandelier, the space shouldn't be overlooked. If your front staircase lines up with your front door, it's the first impression your guests will have of your home.
