From Closet to Living Room: What Does Your Fashion Sense Say About Your Interior Design Style?

“Dressing well is a form of good manners.”

— Tom Ford

Just back from Paris Design Week where the synergy between interiors and fashion is extremely palpable as the two worlds meet to showcase and launch all the latest collections during Paris Deco Off, Maison Objet, and Paris Fashion Week.

So much inspiration in one densely packed week! That it inspired this latest post celebrating two of my favorite design worlds.

Fashion and interior design are two realms that may seem distinct, yet they share a common thread of self-expression.

Just as your choice of clothing reflects your personality and taste, your interior design style speaks volumes about who you are.

Let’s delve into the fascinating connection between fashion and interior design, and explore how your wardrobe choices might be a clue to your preferred home aesthetic.

1. Minimalist Chic: Less is More

If your wardrobe consists of clean lines, neutral colors, and timeless pieces, you likely gravitate towards a minimalist interior design style. A clutter-free and serene living space with a focus on functionality and simplicity mirrors the elegance of your wardrobe choices. Think Scandinavian-inspired interiors with ample natural light and functional furniture.

2. Eclectic Enthusiast: Mixing Patterns and Colors

Are you drawn to bold patterns, vibrant colors, and mixing and matching different styles in your wardrobe? If so, your interior design style might lean towards eclecticism. Eclectic interiors are a blend of diverse elements, creating a visually stimulating and unique spaces. Embrace a mix of textures, patterns, and colors in your home, much like you do in your wardrobe. This approach will ensure daily doses of eye-candy!

3. Classic Elegance: Timeless Pieces in Fashion and Design

If your wardrobe is filled with timeless pieces and classic silhouettes, your interior design preferences may echo this sense of enduring elegance. Think of traditional styles with a touch of sophistication - refined furniture, muted color palettes, and tasteful accessories. Your home reflects a timeless charm that transcends passing trends.

4. Bohemian Spirit: Free-Spirited Fashion and Design

For those who embrace a bohemian fashion sense, characterized by flowing fabrics, eclectic accessories, and a carefree vibe, your interior design style may follow suit. Bohemian interiors are all about self-expression, with a mix of textures, colors, and global influences. Think vibrant, mismatched textiles, and a cozy, laid-back atmosphere.

5. Modern Edge: Sleek Lines and Contemporary Flair

If your wardrobe features sleek lines, monochromatic hues, and a love for all things modern, your interior design style is likely contemporary. Clean lines, open spaces, and a focus on functionality define modern interiors. Embrace minimalist furniture, bold geometric shapes, and a neutral color palette for a space that exudes a sleek, sophisticated vibe.

Whether you're a fashionista who loves experimenting with the latest trends or someone who sticks to timeless classics, your wardrobe choices provide valuable insights into your interior design preferences.

By drawing parallels between your fashion sense and home aesthetic, you can create a living space that truly reflects your personality, making every corner a testament to your unique style.

So, the next time you revamp your wardrobe, consider how your fashion choices might inspire your interior design decisions, and watch as your personal style seamlessly weaves through every aspect of your life.

And just as a stylist can help you edit your choices and use their expertise in the industry with suppliers, manufacturers, costs and quality so can Interior Designers.
