Fashion-Forward Interiors: Rooms Designed to Match Our Favorite Outfits (Mackenzie Edition!)

Trends in fashion and interior design go hand in hand—just look in your closet and take note of how much your clothing coordinates with your home decor. It makes sense! Both our homes and our wardrobes are an expression of who we are; they reflect our personalities and our lifestyles. But a common issue expressed by clients is that they struggle to pinpoint what their decorating tastes are exactly. If you're not sure how to define your personal interior design style, try taking some cues from your favorite outfit...

The Inspiration

Image: ASOS

I love this laid-back version of a classic equestrian look. I grew up in Ohio showing horses, and every summer my family would go to the All American Quarter Horse Congress—the largest single breed horse show in the world. This outfit is super cute for a casual stroll around the fairgrounds. It's basically socially acceptable barn wear: the Carhartt-esque jacket, the black jodhpurs, the hunter riding boots, the preppy stripe. It's sophisticated but casual—you could get away with this look at a polo match, but it's also versatile enough to wear on a day hike or a trip to the farmers market. It's a style that totally translates to my adult life.

The Interior

This room is stylish and modern, comfortable and inviting—all the same elements I love in my inspiration outfit. No frills. Nothing too trendy. The look is polished and practical. For the interior design, I chose classic, timeless materials like leather and wood; soft, durable textiles made from high-quality natural fibers; the same earth-tone color scheme; and simple, structured patterns.

Anthropologie Quentin Chair

This wool Anthropologie airliner-style chair is SO cool. I love the delicate black frame, the leather headrest, and vintage style wool upholstery.

CB2 23" Leisure Copper Pillow

My crew is obsessed with this color this season. I saw it all over Europe this summer. Not quite pumpkin, not quite gold... the closest color that comes to mind is Carhartt Jacket.

CB2 20" Division Grey Pillow

This brings the preppy stripe into the look. I'd put it on the airliner chair for some contrast.

CB2 20" Delaney Beige Linen Pillow

I love the textured linen with the sharp black trim. IT reminds me of the stripe in the shirt from the outfit.

Anthropologie Moroccan Cross Rug

This shaggy wool rug adds some texture to the room while keeping the look updated. Love the combination of a modern pattern on a traditional Moroccan rug.

Restoration Hardware Italian Fine Wool Coverlet & Sham

This soft, dark bedding mimics the outfit's tucked-in leggings. Bonus: the wool reminds me of a saddle pad.

CB2 Drommen Acacia Bed

This bed's midcentury architectural details keep the look modern and fresh; mixed with its vintage vibes and saddle leather headboard, it totally works with the look we are going for.

CB2 Overlook Throw

CB2 says it best, "If a sweater designer hung out with a rug designer, this throw would be the result. " It also slightly resembles the fleece on the inside of the hood!

Z Gallerie "Horse In The Rain" Canvas

Obviously we had to bring in some kind of horse element! This one is quite moody and dramatic, like a trust fund kid who just lost the polo championship to Conner McDouglas's school (AGAIN!). I love it because it brings in the caramel and onyx tones.

Stay tuned for more runway-inspired rooms, Aleah's edition of Fashion-Forward Interiors is coming soon!

Get the Luxe Look for Less

We love the classics, the high-end originals—we marvel at their fine details and clever ingenuity—but we also realize not everyone who wants a cool space to live in can spend $7500 on a lamp. (Personally, we'd rather spend our money on experiences, not necessarily on things!) If you're willing to compromise on some features, you can achieve almost any look for less. Here are a few options for awesome-looking, quality products that won't break the bank... 

Design Within Reach | Cross Round Table ($4875)

This Mathew Hilton table from Design Within Reach is made of solid walnut, which sounds fancy, but solid wood has a tendency to contract and expand with the weather, making it less stable at times. This piece is 59" in diameter, while the similar piece from Article is 73" oval. Both say they seat eight, but it may be a tad crowded at this table.

Article | Conan Dining Table ($599)

This piece has an ash veneer stained in a walnut finish. You wouldn't be able to refinish this piece, but veneers tend to be more stable than solid wood furniture, so it's a trade off. This piece is also a touch bigger than the DWR counterpart, making it more comfortable for 6-8 people.

Restoration Hardware | Luke Leather Chair ($3895)

"An inspired take on the modern forms of 1970s Italian design," there's no denying this Restoration Hardware chair is a sophisticated selection. It's scaled slightly larger than the West Elm version, but both are made from top grain leather (that's the next best thing from full grain leather. Top grain leather has had the top few millimeters sanded off to eliminate imperfections).

West Elm | Lucas Leather Swivel Base Chair ($999)

Slightly smaller than the Restoration Hardware counterpart, this West Elm piece offers the same cool industrial style at a significantly lower price. It does, however, lack the built-in lumbar pillow. If you're in the market for a $4000 chair and want the best available, RH would be the best choice. If you are looking for something to do the trick while your kids are still in their "color on everything" phase, this West Elm chair is a great option!

Design Within Reach | Kelston Sofa ($6990)

This 115" sofa by Mathew Hilton for Design Within Reach has articulating headrests, which is super cool—you can adjust them to just the right angle and height for reading or watching TV, or fold them out of the way when not in use. It's also made in Italy- hence the price tag.

CB2 | Uno 2-Piece Sectional Sofa ($2198)

This piece has the same minimal yet cozy lines as the DWR piece but at a fraction of the price. This piece is made of FSC (SUSTAINABLE) kiln dried hardwood right here in the US. It's even deeper and longer than DWR version—134" wide as opposed to the DWR's 115"—so you can probably squeeze an extra friend on here. If you can live without articulating headrests, I'd save the money.

Restoration Hardware | Suar Wood Table ($1795)

This piece is carved from a single block of sustainably harvested kiln-dried wood, which is great, but coffee tables are meant for feet and cocktails and buttery popcorn, so I'd be a tad worried about stains.

CB2 | Darbuka Black Coffee Table ($699)

I actually like this design better than the RH piece because lifting the sphere up a bit shows off the shape more. I also like the structured architectural base, it juxtaposes with the smooth sphere quite well. It's cement, so it will be really durable and you won't get ring marks from wet glasses.

Design Within Reach | Serge Mouille Three-Arm Floor Lamp ($7,380)

So if you're the kind of person who needs the BEST lamp available, this Serge Mouille lamp is the one for you. Its three arms swing freely in any direction so that you'll need never fear a shadow. It has elegant lines and exquisite hardware. And the price tag? Well...

Target | Safavieh® Iris Floor Lamp ($184)

This lamp by Target (pronounced Tar-zhay) may be less flexible and a bit smaller, but it still has that modern insect look to it that sets it apart from your mother's old Pottery Barn wood & linen deal.

RH Modern | Chunky Braided Jute Rug ($1895)

Both of these rugs are 100% jute, handwoven, unbleached, and will inevitably shed for a while. So what makes them different? This one is woven into a latex backing, while the PB version is woven into wool. Personally, I'd prefer the wool. I think the cost difference here is simply a matter of comparing the textures (this one looks more expensive), but this chunkier version may be tougher to live with.

Pottery Barn | Chunky Wool & Jute Rug ($719)

You might compromise a bit visually on the smoother texture here, as compared with the RH version, but frankly, a thicker texture is much more difficult to keep clean, so I would opt for this one anyway! Have you ever tried to clean a spilled bowl of quinoa out of a textured jute rug? No? Oh. Err, me neither.
