From Runway to Room
This year’s NYFW was a masterclass in mood. Designers like Thom Browne and Carolina Herrera didn’t just show garments; they told emotional stories through bold silhouettes and rich textures.
The crossover into interior design is real, as homes are now reflecting the same mix of nostalgic glamour and modern grit. Think expressive furniture, moody palettes, and unexpected accents. Let’s unpack the trends turning heads and homes this season.
Haute Couture Furniture And Decor
Just like sculpted waists dominated the runway, interiors are embracing form-fitting furniture. Think curved sofas, exaggerated dining tables, and statement pieces.
Such a design invites closeness, sparks curiosity, and, interestingly, also comfort, and serves as a conversation starter. Designers are embracing softer curves and bold shapes, taking cues from Calvin Klein’s fresh, dramatic aesthetic. Think kidney-shaped coffee tables or sculptural chaises that feel like art but work for everyday living.
Oversized Tailoring Inspires Lounge Luxe
Thom Browne’s theatrical oversized tailoring is echoing through home textiles as well. We’re seeing oversized throws, exaggerated drapes, and generously cushioned sectionals dominate interiors. It’s all about embracing scale.
Opt for wide armrests, deep seats, and voluminous curtains in luxe materials like velvet and boucle. Pair big silhouettes with clean lines and muted tones to keep your space grounded and chic.
Varsity Patchwork in Home Decor
The preppy-meets-avant-garde vibe from Fashion Week is making waves in interiors. Patchwork is now used in upholstery, accent pillows, and even wallpaper.
Inspired by Thom Browne’s varsity tweeds and storytelling fabrics, patchwork is being reimagined as eclectic elegance. Mix textures, colors, and materials for a curated yet spontaneous look. Think vintage denim panels on ottomans, mismatched tile backsplashes, or layered rugs with clashing patterns.
Raw Glamour
Designers like Sarah Burton redefined glamour by stripping it down to its emotional core. This “raw glamour” is all about contrast, pairing metallics with matte, faux fur with concrete, and shine with stillness.
In interiors, this translates into layered neutrals punctuated with glints of gold or silver, bold colors, elegant upholstery, and rough-hewn woods beside glossy lacquer finishes.
Emotional Intelligence in Design
This season, fashion was deeply personal, and so is this design trend. Interiors are leaning into pieces that spark joy, calm, or creativity. We’re seeing soothing color palettes, curved shapes, and textured walls that evoke comfort.
It’s about making your space feel emotionally responsive, where lighting adjusts to your mood and furniture invites interaction. Like fashion’s introspective turn, this is design that listens, not just speaks.
Aquatic Blues Dive into Decor
Mermaidcore trend also found its way into interiors thanks to NYFW. Designers turned to shades of aquatic blues and seafoam greens, evoking water’s calming, mysterious pull. In interiors, this translates into iridescent finishes, wave-like forms, and shimmery textiles.
Try a tiled backsplash in glazed cerulean, or glass vases that shimmer like sea glass. Let your space flow with the rhythm of the tide.
Yellow’s Comeback as a Statement Hue
Sunshine shades ruled the runway, now they’re lighting up interiors. From mustard to marigold, yellow is reclaiming its spot as a power color. The key? Use it sparingly but boldly.
A velvet armchair, an ochre statement wall, or even lemon-toned ceramic tiles can elevate a neutral space instantly. It’s all about finding the hue that adds energy without overwhelming. Much like its use in fashion, yellow in interiors radiates optimism and attitude.
Strapless Influence (Bare Spaces Done Bold)
The resurgence of strapless fashion is influencing more than eveningwear. In home design, it’s showing up as “bare elegance.” Think open shelving, floating vanities, and frameless furniture that strips design to its essentials while still commanding attention.
Let bold materials such as marble, smoked glass, and raw wood shine without distraction. This bare-it-all aesthetic is sleek, sensual, and striking.
Faux Fur Goes Functional
Faux fur is becoming a must-have texture at home. From fur-trimmed stools to full-on faux fur area rugs, this material is cozy and luxe. Add it to reading chairs, bedroom throws, or even poufs for instant warmth and style.
Inspired by fashion’s tactile trend, faux fur in interiors turns everyday spaces into sensory sanctuaries. Go for rich, deep tones such as chocolate, navy, and charcoal for a more mature take that feels high fashion, not kitsch.
Asymmetry in Action
Runway asymmetry, such as one-shoulder tops and skewed silhouettes making waves in home styling too. Picture coffee tables with slanted legs, lamps with off-center shades, and gallery walls with intentionally uneven spacing.
This trend challenges perfection and celebrates quirk. It’s bold, unbalanced, and refreshingly imperfect. As in fashion, it’s the unexpected angles that leave the biggest impact.
The Theatrical Touch
Fashion Week didn’t hold back on drama, and neither should your home. Add a theatrical flourish with oversized chandeliers, exaggerated decor, or art that commands attention. It’s about storytelling through decor, just like designers use fabric to weave emotion.
Think of your home as a stage and let bold statement pieces play leading roles. Go ahead, add that oversized mirror or crimson velvet headboard. Maximalist moments are in, and your living room is ready for its close-up.
Minimalism with an Edge
Designers brought back minimalism but gave it attitude, for instance, strong shapes and bold details. For interiors, this means sleek spaces with unexpected touches. For instance, a minimal living room with geometric patterns on the floor or one wall.
A monochrome palette with textured walls. A sparse hallway with a bold sculptural light. It’s not about being clutter-free; it’s about intention.
Statement Ceilings
Remember when a statement coat could pull together an entire look? Now, ceilings are getting the same attention. Inspired by bold runway pieces, ceilings are becoming canvases, painted in moody hues, covered in wallpaper, or adorned with decorative beams or even glass decor.
It’s an unexpected place to pack a punch and enhance your interior’s story. Go bold overhead, and you’ll transform the room from the top down.
Playful Prints Get a Sophisticated Spin
Eclectic prints were everywhere at Fashion Week, and they’re being smartly translated into interior design. From abstract florals to offbeat geometrics, these prints add personality without chaos. Look for patterned tiles, print-forward wallpapers, or upholstery with attitude.
Pair with solid neutrals to keep the balance. The key is confidence, just like mixing plaid and stripes on the runway, your home can handle a little fashionable chaos.
Revisit last year’s standout NYFW-inspired decor moments, you might just spot styles still ruling the trend charts.
Reimagined Heritage
Designers nodded to tradition with a twist, just as interiors revisited heritage styles with fresh eyes. Reclaimed wood meets minimalist silhouettes. Victorian florals reappear in punchy palettes, and wainscoting gets painted navy.
This trend is about respecting the past but living in the now. Blend grandma’s china with brutalist decor. Mix your mid-century chairs with a floral chintz settee. Done right, it’s not nostalgic, it’s next-gen. Explore how vintage design is shaking off the dust and dominating 2025 interiors.
