Home is where the hearts are. Love never goes out of fashion, but lately the heart motif seems especially prevalent (and poignant). We've been seeing all sorts of cute heart prints on clothes, and now these hip hearts are making their way into home style.

Granny was on to something with her doilies, but she just needed some helpful hints from a contemporary mind to get them looking right. I'm finding doily motifs everywhere but under a piece of cake these days, but this time they're not so geriatric. From furniture, like David Eveleigh and Melissa Evans's laser-cut Doily Table (inquire for price), to rugs, dinnerware, photo-etched enamel-painted copper plates, and doilies reinvented in felt and vinyl, the five-letter word is being spoken in a new dialect.

What's not to love about roses? Their beautiful, curling blossom structure has made them one of the most popular flowers in the world; their scent has been transferred to perfumes and linen sprays, and their diversity enables them to flourish in home gardens across the world. Of course, roses are also popping up in the world of interior design.

From inspiring shelter magazines to the portfolios of interior stylists and photographers to haute décor shops, I've been seeing our bodies' garments artistically displayed on the beautiful bones of houses around the world. At a time when fashion rules the pavement and the print pubs, names like Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent prolifically roll off the tongue, celebrities are becoming designers left and right, and Birkin bags take 48 hours to make, it's no wonder that apparel is making waves in our homes as well in the buzzing media world. To see where I've found frocks and accessories in bedrooms, living rooms, and beyond, check out this slideshow.

Domino market editor Jennifer Condon has a fun slideshow of products with a quatrefoil motif, an ornamental design of four lobes or leaves resembling a flower or four-leaf clover, which you know from Van Cleef & Arpels's "Alhambra" jewelry pieces (and Heidi Klum's knock-offs). Her slideshow was inspired by this image in a 1971 House & Garden story showing readers how to create a Moroccan mood with quatrefoil stencils.
