World MasterCard Fashion Week may be over, but the predominant black and white spring trend that appeared on almost every runway from Pink Tartan, Mackage, David Dixon and Target, have found a way into your home and onto your walls.

From hand-mixed paint and ink on archival paper to hand drawn art by the queen of the fashion scene herself – Vivienne Westwood (if you look closely you can make out her signature), wallpaper has landed its well-deserved spot on the fashion elites most-coveted list.

Fashion and home décor trends are taking pages from one another more and more and, seeing that the simple and elegant look of black and white will never go out of style, it’s a no-brainer how this trend found its way into home décor. Additionally, it provides further evidence as to why people can feel confident about making this look a more long-term focal point in their home.

Maybe that’s why more interior designers are turning to the timeless combo for inspiration, adding their own whimsical texture and even print to this classic duo.

Here’s a closer look at a few fun, black and white runway-inspired wallpaper designs I found, ready to cover up drab walls and offer a bit of fashion inspiration to any room.

I'm Lisa, a real born and bred Torontonian in every sense of the word. I'm a PR practitioner by day with a fabulous client list, at a very cool boutique firm in the core with a view of the city that can make anyone want to move here. I have a mild to moderate hat obsession, and you’ll usually find me searching the city for the next big chef, and rarely without a fashion or décor magazine in my purse. Before PR, I was a travel writer/editor/photographer, and spent most of my time travelling the world and bringing my stories back here. The rest of the time I spent indulging in the city's untapped culinary scene as Post City Magazine's main restaurant photographer. But, no matter where I am in the world, nothing beats coming home. That's why I've spent the last few years planting my roots here, moving from Toronto’s uber-chic west side to the heart of Greek Town in a modern Victorian semi (a.ka. my lifelong décor project), with my husband and super-stylish son. Yes, I'm one of those moms, the one who won't give up her sense of style post-baby bump; and why should I?! I aspire to have my cake and eat it too - I am Italian after all. And, now why my 2-year-old in tow, I can bring him along for the ride.
