From Milanese runways to NYC foyers, fashion and interiors continue to mirror each other in fascinating ways. This season, we’re seeing a shared appetite for drama, texture, and bold storytelling—whether it’s in the form of fringed upholstery, immersive color palettes, or sculptural silhouettes that double as art. The lines between wardrobe and room have never been blurrier, and that’s exactly where the magic is happening. We’ve rounded up five trends shaping the way we dress and decorate right now—each one offering a fresh perspective on materiality, mood, and what it means to make a statement in 2025.

5 Trends We’re Seeing in Fashion and Interiors This Season

#1 Fringed Fabrics Are Stealing the Spotlight

From Paris runways to cozy pied-à-terres, fringe is making a major comeback—and this time, it’s textural, elevated, and entirely intentional. Designers are leaning into its tactile appeal to create movement, softness, and just the right hint of drama.

At Paris Fashion Week, fringe showed up in tailored silhouettes that embraced the undone. One standout look featured a deconstructed gray coat woven with frayed textile motifs, blurring the line between classic structure and organic edge. In another menswear look, micro-fringe details on a green woven jacket gave subtle texture and vintage character, proving that fringe can go refined or rugged depending on the styling.

And it’s not just on clothing. Interiors are echoing this same love affair with fringe—especially when it comes to soft furnishings. Think statement chairs edged with trim, curtains with playful flutters, and ottomans wrapped in silky tiers. Architectural Digest even called it a “sexy comeback,” and they’re not wrong. Fringe is back and it’s bolder than ever.

In Memphis, this creamy barrel-back chair feels luxe and sculptural thanks to its floor-grazing fringe. Meanwhile, Danish design studio Fíílii offers a more relaxed take with their earth-toned lounge chair—pairing slow design principles with soft yarn fringe that sways with every shift of light.

Sure, fringe is decorative, but it’s also a texture-forward statement that feels fresh in both fashion and interiors. Whether wrapped around your shoulders or skimming the floor in your living room, it’s proof that movement and softness are in style this season.

#2 Floral Tapestries Are in Full Bloom

If you crave the type of romantic maximalism that’s worthy of a Bridgerton season lead, you will adore antique-inspired floral tapestries. This season, we’re seeing grand, muted florals and other whimsical iconography—with woven motifs that feel more like heirlooms than decoration. Whether on fashion runways or as statement walls in interiors, these tapestry-inspired pieces are lush, layered, and loaded with history.

At Paris Fashion Week, tapestry made its mark in menswear, with richly woven floral panels reimagined as outerwear. The jacket’s ornate texture and sepia tones brought a museum-quality weight to modern tailoring—proof that age-old craftsmanship is finding a new place in today’s wardrobes.

The same story is unfolding indoors. Vogue recently named heavy, tapestry-like drapery as one of 2025’s standout interior design trends and designers are taking that cue into upholstery, wall hangings, and beyond. Christiane Lemieux’s Parisian showroom couch is a perfect example: florals rendered in moody hues feel equal parts regal and relaxed—especially when paired with a silk-fringed base and an oversized wall mural for contrast.

For those embracing maximalism at home (or for their clients), full-scale wall hangings like this garden scene tapestry turn a sitting room into a storybook castle. The layers of foliage, birds, and medieval architecture bring scale and drama that even the most ornate wallpaper can’t quite match.

Whether it’s woven into a jacket or draped across an entire wall, the floral tapestry trend encourages you to lean into history, pattern, and presence. Softness can still make a statement—and sometimes, more really is more.

#3 Color Drenching Is Coming for Your Walls—And Your Wardrobe

Are you the designer who longs to pick one hue and run with it? If so, this is your moment to splash an entire room in a single color. The bold act of washing an entire space or outfit in a single tone, color drenching dominates both fashion and interiors this season. It’s moody. It’s immersive. And it’s anything but boring.

At Paris Fashion Week, we saw a quietly commanding take on this trend in an all-olive look, styled with intention from suit to shawl. The monochrome palette drew attention to the play of texture and silhouette—proving that when every element sings in the same key, the result is symphonic.

Interiors are embracing the same mindset. In Dallas, this stunning library is drenched in deep oxblood red—walls, trim, ceiling, and drapery all lacquered in the same warm, glossy tone. It’s rich, dramatic, and perfectly layered with leather chairs and vintage books. Across the spectrum in Raleigh, a North Carolina family room (Image 3) does the same in a moody blue-gray. The built-ins, trim, and mantel are all washed in the same Farrow & Ball hue to create a tonal backdrop that makes the space feel sophisticated yet serene.

Color drenching works because it removes visual clutter. Instead of contrasting colors competing for attention, the focus shifts to form, finish, and atmosphere. Whether you’re layering olives on the runway or enveloping a room in rich burgundy, the effect is deeply intentional—and surprisingly timeless.

#4 Black or Brown with Blue Is the Near-Tone Team We Didn’t Know We Needed

Some color combinations whisper. This one smolders. Pairing deep blue with black or brown is no longer a fashion faux pas. We promise, it’s quickly becoming the quiet luxury statement of the season. These near-tones—so closely related they’re often accused of clashing—create visual tension that feels sophisticated, moody, and just a little bit rebellious.

At Paris Fashion Week, Jitrois delivered a masterclass in tonal layering with a look that paired a navy leather jacket with wide-leg black trousers. The high-contrast textures and subtle difference in hues created a sleek, modern silhouette that felt both structured and sensual.

Interior designers are embracing the same approach. In Houston, Laura U Design Collective’s Garden Oaks powder room layers indigo floral wallpaper with black sconces, navy walls, and brushed gold accents for a space that feels equal parts jewel box and shadow play. The addition of warm brass and crisp white grounding details ensures the space never veers into heavy.

These are “color cousins” at their most refined. Brown with navy, black with slate—they challenge old-school color rules and reward those who like their palettes with a touch of tension. When handled with care, this moody mix brings richness and restraint to both wardrobes and rooms.

#5 Sculptural Elements Are Stealing the Show

From fashion to lighting, sculptural design adds depth, drama, and tactile intrigue to even the most minimal spaces in 2025. On the runway, Luar’s Fall/Winter collection featured this striking gray look (Image 1), where oversized, structural folds wrapped around the model like wearable architecture. The look felt futuristic yet grounded, soft but monumental—proof that silhouette alone can tell a story.

Interiors are embracing the same philosophy. House Beautiful‘s Kate McGregor put it best in this article, writing that “Statement fixtures and layered lighting are in for 2025… Architectural lighting in the form of sconces, chandeliers, and sculptural floor lamps will replace purely functional lighting.” This shift is all about intention—creating pieces that serve a purpose while also capturing the eye, even when they’re switched off.

Take Zen Lighting’s Folia Collection. In this collection, angled brass and wood elements balance impossibly—almost like a modern totem. Or this undulating pendant by Ayus Design, which seems to move midair, its organic, wave-like shape casting shadow and glow in equal measure.

This trend is especially powerful because it blurs the line between art and utility. The everyday becomes extraordinary. If your space (or wardrobe) feels too safe, consider adding a sculptural element—something curved, oversized, or asymmetrical. It might not be subtle, but it will absolutely be stunning.

Final Thoughts on 2025 Trends

These five trends prove that fashion and interiors are more connected than ever—rooted in the same desire to express personality, create emotion, and embrace the unexpected. Whether you’re updating your wardrobe or refreshing a space, look to the runways and rooms that dare to experiment: with texture, with tone, and with form. Because in 2025, bold is beautiful—and a little bit of drama goes a long way.
