Take a pair of toe tappers. Hot red. Ebony black leather. With a sheen that’s glacé. Like a Maraschino cherry. Liquorice laces. Good enough to eat. A cheeky pair of toe tappers. Irresistible.

As fashion follows art and interior design typically follows fashion, here’s how a pair of shoes might walk into a crash pad or club and inspire the interior decor.


A toe tappers crash pad
There's something rather Bugsy Malone about these shoes. So, we're thinking bachelor crash pad with an air of minimalism and an eye for the practical. Space is at a premium in crash pads so everything needs to be easily at hand.  Minus the clutter. Voilà. Built-in ‘storage walls’. Full height. Wall-to-wall giant sliding doors that conceal all manner of things. Kitchen units. Bathrooms. Wardrobes. Even a home office. Not to mention the compulsory sound and vision gadget-tastic-paraphernalia.

Crash pads may be compact but the trick is to make full use of the vertical height of the rooms. Use Poliform. Black leather sliding doors from the Bangkok range. Perfect. Those liquorice laces become a rug. Made of woven recycled bicycle inner tubes.

A splash of red. A touch of the oriental. The result? A statement piece for storage. Come home. Sit back. Crash out. And watch Raise The Red Lantern.

Toe tappers in the club
Roll out a red carpet of light as the toe tappers create a bold statement on the dance floor and inspire the interior of a hot and happening Mayfair club.

A black stallion greets members in the lobby, while the A-listers are ushered through black velvet curtains to the VIP area where acoustic berries adorn the walls, floating lights bob to the sound of Bollinger bubbles being poured into Swarovski crystal flutes while guests recline and relax on red patent leather chairs and giant poufs!
