Fashion Inspiration for Interior Design-According to LiLu Interiors

Fashion Inspiration for Interior Design

Where should you look for inspiration if you are starting a new interior project? There are many great sources of inspiration, show houses, nature, Pinterest, and more. We encourage you to look everywhere for inspiration, but we also suggest a great place to look is your closet. That’s right, fashion inspiration for interior design.
When we are making fashion choices, the financial stakes are lower than when you are investing in an entire home or room. So, you may feel freer to fully express who truly are with a dress, suit, or fashion accessory. If you have pieces of clothing, you have worn for years and consider them staples of your wardrobe take the time to analyze what they say about who you are.
The real bonus in this approach is that if you are creating an interior that doesn’t follow the current trends but is authentic to what you truly love and value your interior will feel timeless.
I really believe this to be true. I was recently reviewing the vignettes and fashion we created back in 2014 for our Fashion + Interiors event and I think the interiors still feel fresh and relevant. Why? Because we based them on the personalities of clients we had worked with at our studio and what they valued in life. Today I am sharing a bit of a flashback to these interiors and the people who inspired them. I hope you find inspiration for your own home!

Are you an Authentic Classic?

An authentic classic is a person who is curious and enjoys life-long learning. Loves sharing stories and is present and fully engaged in life. They believe anything that comes from the heart and hand is classic. They relish handmade, locally sourced furnishings and art.
Knowing the providence and story behind the items in their wardrobe and home is meaningful to them. They love a mix that combines true classics including antiques and vintage items with hand-produced items.
