Fashion & Interior Design

As a senior interior design student and an employee at MACA clothe, I’ve seen fashion trends emerge and studied how they translate into our interiors. Just as in fashion, interior designers take risks and push the envelope to create new, intriguing spaces that stand out and represent their client’s unique personalities. It is obvious that people desire to combine their personal style through colors and patterns that they love, not only into the clothes that they wear, but also in the things and spaces that surround them. This season there are several prevalent trends translated from fashion into interiors.

Trend #1: Chevron Print

Chevron print is SO VERY popular as of late. It can be seen in draperies, rugs, pillows, and furniture in the most chic and playful interiors. In fashion the fabric is used to make tops, dresses, even scarves and can be found in a multitude of color choices.

Trend #2: Figurines (especially Owls!)

Figurines are a huge trend in interiors right now! Elephants, Horses, Birds, Deer, and especially Owls! In interiors, I’ve seen owls painted on walls, as figurines that can be displayed on shelves or dressers as well as bookends and as a print on pillows. Owls can typically be seen in eclectic and vintage inspired interiors.

Trend #3: Aztec Print

Aztec print, along with chevron print, can be seen everywhere in interior design. The print is tribal and brings a cultural feel to any space. The patterns and color combinations are endless.
Skirts, dresses, tops, and accessories can be seen covered in this unique print!

Trend #4: Retro

Retro is SO in! Not just 60’s & 70’s retro, but even 80’s “retro”. The burnt oranges and mustard yellows are definitely in style in fashion as well as the bright pops of color, especially for spring this year.

Trend# 5: Color Blocking

Color blocking is on point for spring in fashion, and can be seen in prints along with overall color schemes in interior spaces.
