Like any kind of art, interior design can draw inspiration from anything and everythingâ€"fashion, film, music, your environment, even...a can of beans? Yep, you can absolutely design an entire room based on a can of beans.

Millions of dollars and hours are spent on packaging design and with good reason! I'm quite sure I'm not alone when I admit that I often buy products at the market simply because I want to look at them each time I open my cupboard. The Heinz can is a perfect example...I love the bold teal background, simple black and white logo, and gold detail. To me, that description sounds like the perfect recipe for a chic kitchen! So just for fun, let's pair it with the iconic orange of Hermes and see what happens, shall we?

I love this kitchen! It's so fresh and bright...Both orange and turquoise are pretty trendy right now, but this space feels like an instant classic. I can imagine living with this kitchen as a single girl putting together a cheese tray for girls night, as a new mom processing homemade baby food, as a fabulous 40-something making margaritas for my husband and our friends, and as a grandmother baking shortbread before the family comes for a visit...

It's the marble that keeps it fairly timeless and I am hellbent on one day having a kitchen that is pretty heavy in the marble department (no pun intended). I'm not generally a fan of stainless, but here it compliments the veins of the backsplash and counter...Gorgeous!

Let's pair up a few more product designs to create some gorgeous rooms...

Here, Kodak's canary yellow covers a modern chesterfield...The bold yellow sofa really works because the rest of the space is kept focused. By keeping the cluster of framed artwork limited to black and white graphics, the eye isn't overwhelmed by colors that might compete with the dominant sunny hue. The charming occasional table offers the perfect "pop" (pun intended this time), as well as a place to rest a cocktail or a cup of tea...

The crisp black and white palate of Chanel's packaging is echoed in this room where the zebra-print wallpaper looks more aristocratic than art school. The honey hardwood of the floor is also picked up in the mats of the botanical prints, while the neutral sofa provides the ideal home for a pair of soup can-red silk pillows.

What iconic brands come to mind when you look around your space?
