As Anna Wintour once said, “I’ve long believed that the eye runs naturally from the catwalk to the kitchen.” With this pearl of design wisdom foremost on our decorating moodboards and inspired by the Met Gala red carpet, the HB team have put together our very own catwalk of interior decorating ideas inspired by the best-dressed celebrities to bring the Met Gala theme of“Camp: Notes on Fashion” into your home.

With your Pinterest board at the ready, picture yourself in a nearby New York cafe and join HB and the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a breakdown of the guest list, why their looks are so successful and everything you need to know to bring your off white home decor bang up to trend and how! 

Beware, you might find yourself tempted to change your living room four times – like Gaga did outfits!
