If you’ve a touch of wanderlust this summer, we’ve got you covered with three of the hottest travel-inspired looks to help bring a slice of holiday heaven to your home.
If you love the sunbaked colours of Italy, the aquatic blues of Greece and the vibrancy of Spain then you’ll love to add this style of décor to your home. Mediterranean coastal style revolves around light and warm tones and the use of natural materials like ceramics, jute, seagrass and rattan blended with soft materials like textured cushions.
Add rustic baskets around your home, whether to store beach towels, toys or shoes, the wicker basket is an essential beachy accessory. Oversized glass bottles evoke a coastal feel as do rustic oyster style baskets which make great storage. Of course, beach finds like seashells and coral ornaments placed on surfaces throughout your home will give it that ocean vibe as will stacks of coffee table books with the Mediterranean theme.
Blue and white is the classic colour palette for beach house chic with warm golden accents like antique gilded mirrors and decorative objects. Rich brown leather is a great way to add contrast to this coastal interior as are tropical touches like pineapple and palm ornaments.
If you’re looking to bring a unique but elegant feel to your home, consider adding Moroccan-style décor to your interior. From vibrant colours to intricately designed wood and mosaic products, this luxurious, dramatic and exciting style is a popular look and easy to recreate.
Elements of Moroccan décor are a mix of nature and vibrant colours, highly adorned furniture and accessories. Moroccan décor includes bright white walls and furnishings so combining colours such as sand, beige, cream and taupe will work well with this backdrop. Mix your neutrals with heavily textured fabrics as well as tactile woven fabrics.
Lighting with lamps, pendants of geometric shapes made of coloured or stained glass, decorative mirrors, accent rugs and tropical plants in colourful pots are all important elements in this décor. Decorative brass or copper trays on tabletops add an instant boho touch and candles, incense or a diffuser in rich scents of jasmine and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and saffron dotted around will set the scene. Behind all these kinds of accessories they will create that Moroccan-style oasis.
This city sure does sit at the core of industrial interior design. Synonymous with open plan living, the New York loft look favours a stripped back approach and shines the light on black and white which are classic colour combinations when trying to achieve the Manhattan loft look. You will rarely find bold and bright colours in an industrial space, you’re more likely to find browns and dark navy, but otherwise stick to a metallic colour palette like silver, grey and gold. Don’t be afraid to mix unexpected materials shapes and finishes when putting together the loft style décor. Use statement lighting like cage lighting which is a popular industrial lighting trend and by adding a touch of vintage or antique design it will instantly give that industrial vibe. Distressed leather, glass, rustic wood and metal like copper cookware will create that warm industrial nature in your home.
