Elevated Everyday: Interior Design Meets Fashion

15 Mar

When it comes to design—whether interiors or fashion—it’s all about balance, texture, and timeless elements that make a statement. The way we dress and the spaces we create both tell a story of who we are and what we value. Lately, I’ve been deeply inspired by a palette of rich, grounding hues like tan, leather brown, deep navy, and jewel tones such as burgundy. These colors are not just sophisticated—they’re effortlessly wearable and livable.

A Palette That Transcends Spaces

Color has the power to set the tone in a home as much as it does in an outfit. Tan and leather shades create warmth, navy adds depth and grounding, while burgundy brings in a refined richness. Just as a well-structured blazer instantly elevates an outfit, these colors add a level of refinement to interiors without feeling overdone. Picture a navy velvet accent chair, tan linen drapery, or a leather ottoman—these pieces work as wardrobe staples for your home.

Textures That Tell a Story

In fashion, mixing textures—like leather with wool or silk with denim—creates an intentional, layered look. The same applies to interiors. Matte-finished woods, supple leather accents, and plush velvets bring depth and character to a space. A mix of these materials in both wardrobe and decor makes for a space (and a look) that feels curated and personal.

Ways to Elevate Your Everyday

Bringing these principles into daily life doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some easy ways to infuse an elevated aesthetic into your wardrobe and your home:

Invest in Classic Structure – A structured blazer instantly pulls together an outfit. In your home, consider tailored furniture silhouettes like a mid-century modern armchair or a sleek credenza.
Mix and Match Materials – In fashion, a cashmere sweater over leather pants feels just right. In interiors, contrast soft textiles like linen with natural stone or polished metals for a refined, layered effect.
Elevate the Everyday with Details – Accessories make the outfit, and the same applies to interiors. Swap out standard hardware for brass or matte black finishes, add a throw with rich texture, or display books with luxe covers.
Stick to a Cohesive Color Story – A well-planned wardrobe has pieces that can be mixed effortlessly. The same goes for your home—choose a palette that flows from room to room, making every space feel intentional and harmonious.

The Intersection of Fashion and Interiors

Style isn’t just about clothing—it’s a lifestyle. The same way you thoughtfully layer a look for the day, you can design a space that reflects your personal aesthetic. Whether it’s a deep navy statement piece, a perfectly worn leather accent, or a jewel-toned detail that catches the light just right, these choices create an environment (and a wardrobe) that feels polished, effortless, and uniquely you.

So, as you reach for that structured blazer or that timeless leather handbag, think about how the same principles can shape the spaces you live in. Fashion and interiors are two sides of the same coin—both an expression of your personal style, both a way to elevate the everyday.
