From Runway to Living Room: Autumn Fashion Trends Inspiring Interiors

 

When it comes to predicting what’s next in design, you don’t always need a crystal ball. Sometimes, all it takes is a look at fashion week. But while fashion often steals the spotlight with its fast-paced cycles and Instagram-worthy moments, interiors tend to move more slowly, absorbing ideas in a way that feels lived-in, layered, and timeless. The truth? Influence flows both ways, what we wear and how we decorate our spaces are more connected than ever.

 

When Interiors Lead the Way

Take the 1970s revival, for example. Long before flared trousers made their return to Prada and Chloé runways, velvet sofas, geometric rugs, and warm retro colour palettes were already creeping back into our living rooms. Interiors set the stage, and fashion followed. Today, the conversation continues - and as Vogue reveals the biggest fashion trends for 2025, we’re already spotting their influence on interiors. Here’s how the runway is stepping off the catwalk and into our homes.

 

Colour Forecasting: The Key Shades for A/W 25/26

Trend forecasting giants like WGSN and Coloro have already mapped out the palette that will define both fashion and interiors for A/W 25/26. Expect to see Celestial Yellow, Cherry Lacquer, Retro Blue, Neon Flare, and Future Dusk setting the tone. These shades balance optimism with depth, from energising brights to grounding darks, and they work just as beautifully on a statement suit as they do across a painted feature wall or a bold piece of artwork.

Pantone’s 2025 Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse, adds another layer to the story: a warming, coffee-toned neutral that answers our collective craving for comfort. In fashion, it’s showing up in tailored outerwear and textured knits, while in interiors it translates to rich upholstery, natural woods, and accent pieces that feel indulgent yet grounding.

 

 

Earn Your Stripes

Stripes are having a moment. Vogue’s prediction of bold tailoring and structured lines translates seamlessly into interiors. Just as pinstripes elevate a blazer, striped wallpaper or upholstery can sharpen up a room, creating a sense of order and elegance. The best part? Stripes are timeless, whether you’re layering neutrals or going graphic with monochrome, they bring the same polish to a living space that they do to a runway look.

 

 

Undone Elegance

This season’s runways embraced “undone-ness”: slouchy layers, slip dresses, and casual nonchalance at Miu Miu and Calvin Klein. Interiors echo this mood with loose, layered styling - think oversized linen throws, low-slung sofas, and lived-in textures that balance ease with sophistication. Just as undone fashion is curated but effortless, undone interiors are about creating comfort that still feels elevated.

 

 

Faux Fur Revival

After years of absence, faux fur has re-emerged in fashion, seen in tactile coats and layered accessories. In interiors, the same luxurious texture is showing up in rugs, cushions, and statement chairs. It’s about embracing warmth and tactility in a way that feels sustainable and modern. Where fashion uses faux fur for drama, interiors translate it into comfort and cocooning.

 

 

Modern Prep

Runway prep is back - but not the polished, rulebook version. This is layering blazers with polos, corduroys with oversized coats, and styling it all with a nonchalant twist. Interiors are seeing a similar energy: traditional design staples like panelled wood, heritage checks, and vintage-inspired details are being reimagined with a youthful edge. Think a classic wingback chair upholstered in a bold fabric, or heritage prints clashed with playful colour palettes.

 

 

Maximalism for Minimalists

Fringes, tassels, and subtle adornments are bringing personality into minimal fashion this season. Interiors mirror this shift, where pared-back spaces get a lift through textured lampshades, scalloped details, or fringed cushions. It’s about moving past bare minimalism and embracing “quiet maximalism”: calm, neutral foundations with small doses of flair.

 

 

Curious Colour Combinations

Designers like Stella McCartney and Tory Burch are experimenting with unexpected colour pairings - icy blues with earthy browns, pistachio green with cherry red. Interiors are following suit. From statement rugs to bold gallery walls, this trend is all about clashing pastels with brights to create a look that feels intentional, modern, and full of personality. It’s an easy way to refresh a room without committing to a full overhaul.

 

 

Where Fashion Meets Home

The crossover between fashion and interiors isn’t about who leads, but how both worlds inspire each other. Fashion’s fast pace keeps interiors playful, while interiors give fashion a sense of depth and longevity. This autumn, the biggest runway trends are already influencing how we live, from the colours we paint our walls to the fabrics we choose for our sofas. Whether you’re updating your wardrobe or your living room, the message is clear: style is about creating what feels right, in every part of life.
