For keeping track of this fall's decor trends, you might want your GPS handy.

We're headed into the urban jungle, then off to Africa and Asia. Designers have also set the Wayback Machine for the 1970s.

A look at what's ahead:

Metropolitan chic. Designers are using city streets as inspiration this fall, with pieces that have urban edge.

French designer Philippe Nigro's T.U. table for Ligne Roset is a sleek wood slab anchored to the floor with industrial, leggy, steel clamps in white, ebony, or red. Target has a steel-based accent table with a faux concrete top.

CB2's fall collection includes Matthew Lew's striking black-and-white prints of Chicago architectural details, a stoneware bowl etched with a tire-tread pattern, and the Bingo rug, with a black, white, and yellow graphic resembling city lights. Ted Boerner's Reverie media cabinet, crafted of blackened steel and textured glass door panels, evokes an urban warehouse facade.

Rare Device stocks Ferm Living's cool map-of-Paris wallpaper. Haptic Lab embroiders quilts and throws with neighborhood maps of New York, Los Angeles, and Washington.

Bespoke Global cofounder and lighting designer Gwen Carlton enfolds a lightbulb with a silvery sculpted branch to create her Urban Forest pendant; she'll make the fixture in a custom size and finish.

Silk Road style. From Asian bazaars and African souks we're seeing a feast of colors, patterns, and style elements.
