How fashion inspires Sara’s designs

Fashion Meets Interiors

The interplay between fashion and interiors has always inspired me. Both serve as ways to express our personalities, and current trends make combining the two easier than ever.

Evolving Trends

Traditionally, fashion trends took time to influence interiors. However, the rise of trend forecasting has accelerated this process, with relaxed styles in fashion reflecting in rounded forms and natural materials in interior design.

Fashion As Inspiration

I use fashion images as a springboard for new interior schemes, helping me embrace colour boldly. The concept of ‘Quiet Luxury’ is a perfect reflection of timeless, elegant design, emphasizing classic elements over ostentation.

Less is More

I resonate with the idea of buying less but better, aiming for interiors that feel harmonious rather than overly styled. This refined approach prioritizes quality and subtle details.

Finding Inspiration

When starting a room scheme, I enjoy browsing fashion books and magazines for colour and texture combinations. These images inspire my choices, especially when selecting rugs that add character to a space.

Impact of Rugs

Rugs can make bold statements in any room, whether a colourful runner, a plush playroom rug, or a patterned living room piece. Often, a rug’s colour scheme influences the overall design, creating a cohesive look.
