"Every year, the nation&amp;#039;s top interior designers gather to create rooms for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House, which benefits after-school and enrichment programs for New York City children. Even though the rooms are super-opulent, over-the-top fabulous, I&amp;#039;m always inspired by the clever ideas I find that I really could do at home. Here are a few of my favorites from the 2014 showcase. PS: Live around New York City? The show house is open through May 29 if you want to check out this interior eye candy in person. 1. Mineral Appeal A wallpaper trend we&amp;#039;re seeing everywhere: Pattern inspired by the natural veining in marble and stone. This room goes glam with the look in gold metallic. Designer: Carrier &amp;amp;amp; Company   2. Monotone Effect In this tiny but high-ceilinged study, the designer made the sectional disappear into the room by painting the walls and molding in the same rich teal. The result? It adds generous seating without looking bulky. Designer: Markham Roberts  3. Imperfect Stripes For those afraid of wallpaper, these fine lines, painted by hand in metallic shades of varying widths, are a looser take on a classic pattern (perfect for a messy DIYer like myself). Designer: John Douglas Eason  4. Touchable Texture Make a room instantly cozy by covering the walls in super-soft suede. No, it&amp;#039;s not practical. Still, we couldn&amp;#039;t help but snuggle up to the perimeter of this office \u2014 when&amp;#039;s the last time anyone said that about your cubicle? Designer: Mendelson Group   5. Blingy Trim Painting your molding white is the go-to, but this room shakes it up by highlighting those details in rose gold. Against the yellow gold panels, it offers the warmth of wood with a little more luster. Designer: Cullman &amp;amp;amp; Kravis   6. Mixed Patterns Look closely: This designer used two different wallpapers in the same color family to create a contrast between the area under the chair rail and the area above. Often we see paint on one and paper on the other, so I love this bolder approach. Designer: Mark Hampton LLC  Ayn-Monique Klahre is the lifestyle editor at Good Housekeeping.
