The influence of the fashion industry can be seen not only in furniture and textiles, but also in floor and wall coverings.
One of the most important sources of inspiration for interior design, the fashion industry can turn the atmosphere of a home into a catwalk show with every move it makes. Its influence is visible not only in furniture and textiles, but also in floor and wall coverings.
Fashion is an industry whose every component is fast-moving, focused on change and remarkably industrious. Consider how world-famous fashion brands, the driving forces of this productive and dazzling sector, shape not only their own field but also diverse worlds such as interiors, motoring and tourism, and the reach, power and continuity of their influence become clear.
The steps taken by fashion giants do not emerge by chance. The concepts they identify as future trends are determined through extensive research by the trend agencies with which they collaborate. These agencies bring together broad teams, from sociologists and writers to scientists and artists, to assess where societies are heading, what they need and what they dream of, well ahead of each season. This is why we can discover next winter’s fashion collections while we are still in autumn.
Interior design is one of the sectors inspired by the trend directions offered by this influential world of fashion. With its focus on forms, textures, patterns and colours, following fashion’s direction step by step keeps interiors current and fresh. As a result, the new collections of interior brands feature textures, colours and patterns that trend-focused fashion brands have discovered, uncovered, reinvented or created from scratch.
Inspired by fashion movements and the trends championed by fashion brands, the interiors sector is passionate about using these ideas to create “fashionista” homes. Surface coverings are one of its most effective ways to interpret and express them. Across a design spectrum that stretches from scenes of nature to geometry, and from jewel-like reflections to industrial aesthetics, the world of coverings brings together different colours and patterns, with many examples that capture the spirit of the times.
For example, Allure from Çanakkale Seramik’s Formart collection brings geometry, a perennial fashion favourite, into interior design. Combining square and circular forms with cool colours such as black and petrol blue, this collection offers a new expression of elegance. Meanwhile, the Fabric collection, also part of the Çanakkale Seramik family, lives up to its name by bringing zigzags, one of the textile world’s signature patterns, to tiles.
