NYC Design Week: Get the Scoop Straight from InStyle’s Home Editors

Each spring, InStyle’s home editors partake in the many shows and celebrations that are part of New York City’s spring design week, and this year we saw some serious beauties. We loved the unusual material combinations, like Himalayan salt and cement or horsehair and glass, and some items were just downright dream-worthy, like hand-woven gradient ombré tapestries. Not only did these imaginative pieces make us excited about what we’ll be seeing in our favorite home decor stores and sites this upcoming season, but they also make us want to shop! Click through the gallery to check out some of the pieces we can’t wait to get our hands on.
