From Runway to Room: How Fashion Inspires Interior Design

As part of our DFW collaboration, we recently welcomed Nikki Strickler—the brilliant runway producer behind Denver Fashion Week—onto our Seated with Furniture Row podcast. Nikki pulls back the curtain on how fashion trends are born, what it takes to put on Colorado’s biggest fashion event, and how the runway’s boldest ideas can inspire your own home design.

Key Takeaways: How Fashion Trends Inspire Home Design

If there’s one takeaway from this episode, it’s this: what’s trending on the runway today is often what’s trending in interiors tomorrow! Nicki, Haley, and Jessa talk about the undeniable link between the way we dress and the way we decorate.

Need a real-life example? Just like stylists started mixing Converse sneakers with designer blazers, interior designers are now pairing high-end, modern pieces with relaxed or even distressed accents. Think a sleek concrete coffee table anchored by a plush, cozy rug, or a luxe velvet sofa softened with playful, budget-friendly throw pillows.

When fashion started playing with high-low contrasts, furniture quickly followed suit!

Current Fashion Trends Influencing Home Design:

Maximalism & Whimsy: The “weirder, the better” mindset is in full swing. Playful patterns, bold colors, and even quirky accents like pancake-shaped ceramics or monster handbags are inspiring everything from throw pillows to wall art. Maximalism is all about self-expression—don’t hold back!
Sustainability & Upcycling: Style today means making thoughtful choices. Whether it’s upcycled denim jackets or furniture crafted from reclaimed wood, sustainability is the hottest trend in both fashion and home.
Granny Chic & Antiquing: Classic cardigans and loafers are back on the runway, just like hand-me-down teacups and thrifted finds are trending in home design. Embrace nostalgia, tell your story, and give old favorites a new life.
Western Style: Western style is evolving, pairing authentic cowboy looks with urban edge and even a touch of sparkle. In both wardrobe and décor, think rugged meets glam.
Color Drenching: Go bold with monochromatic rooms—walls, trim, even doors—in a single shade. It’s a statement look that echoes the rich colors trending in fall fashion.

What’s Next

This collaboration is just the beginning. Each theme from Denver Fashion Week will inspire a new blog post on our blog, so you can keep exploring how runway energy translates into timeless design trends for your space.
