Fashion and interiors have always been intrinsically linked. What’s seen gracing the runways eventually has a way of entering our homes—sometimes subtly or unexpectedly—and vice versa. It makes sense: Both are forms of creative expression that celebrate unique uses of texture, textiles, shape, and color to evoke a vibe, making you feel a little something while also showcasing individuality.
As the New York Fashion Week fall runway shows come to a close, we’re looking to the designers for inspiration not just for our closets but our homes, too. From opulent embellishments to the return of fringe (did it ever really go away?), fashion’s latest trends are ready to take form in interiors. Whether you want to go big or try just a touch, here’s how to bring runway style into your own space.
Animal Prints

At this point, animal prints are practically a neutral. For fall 2025, Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, and Khaite all displayed bold takes on this classic motif in their designs—from oversize outerwear to matching skirt sets.
But how does this translate into the home? Animal print adds a sense of depth, texture, and personality and is kind of the gateway print in interiors. Not ready to commit? You can always lean into the tried-and-true throw pillow to test out the water. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you could upholster an entire chair (or even a sofa!) for a statement-making moment. The options are endless—tabletop accessories, wallpaper, headboards, rugs like the one in this North Carolina home by designer Charlotte Lucas. You can really have fun with this one. Just remember, it’s all about balance, so make sure to add solid colors and natural textures to keep from going full-on glam (unless, of course, that’s what you want).
Glitzy Embellishments

Speaking of glam, NYFW delivered a heavy dose of glitzy embellishments to the stage and we’re here for it. Designers ranging from Diotima to Altuzarra to Marc Jacobs all featured opulent detailing—think studs, sequins, beads—in their pieces that can also work beautifully in the home. Go bold with daring statement items like the Murano glass chandelier in this Illinois home by designer Sarah Vaile, or embrace a more subtle shimmer with metallic tabletop accents, beaded napkin rings, and gilded mirrors. A little sparkle goes a long way.
Argyle and Plaids

The signature diamond motif brings structure, warmth, and vintage charm to both our homes and wardrobes. It was seen on pieces in Khaite, Thom Brown, and Zankov’s fall collections, and it stars in the lounge of the same home featured above by designer Sarah Vaile.
And, it’s pretty easy to sprinkle it in your home for a refined and slightly preppy approach. Add it in through an area rug to anchor the space or a layer an argyle quilt over your current bedding for a look that’s both cozy and classic.
Cozy Accents

As seen in Ulla Johnson, Luar, and Aknvas’ shows, fuzzy accents were on display. Ulla Johnson and Luar embraced the bolder iterations of the trend with furry statement coats, while other designers sprinkled it in through accessories and trim. Pieces like the rug in designer Palmer Weiss’s own home, shown above, are the interior equivalent.
Cozy accents aren’t necessarily new to the home space—plush throws and pillows have been longtime staples in interiors. But, incorporating them in surprising ways through decorative objects (like this fuzzy, sculptural stool or a fur-lined accent chair) brings a fresh, fashion-forward twist to the mainstay.
Fringe

We love a fringe accent on our clothing and on our furniture. Designers—including Bevza, FForme, Altuzarra—showcased many uses of fringe from the bottoms of skirts to the sleeves of jackets.
To try this out at home, try a cascading table lamp, or for a little old-world charm, a pouf like the one in designer Katie Hodges’s home in the Hollywood Hills. You can even add fringed curations to bring texture and dimension to the room. Fringe is here to stay.
