Styling in the Sun: Holiday Destination Inspired Decor for Your Home

inspired decor

Lauren Mateer |

When it comes to furniture, rustic-chic is the name of the game. Simple, traditional wood pieces in farmhouse or coastal style are favourites, and light, natural wood finishes bring an airy look and feel to your home.

France

Holidays to France offer every sort of option. From romantic city breaks to charming coastal villages to dramatic mountain adventures, no matter what your travel style you are sure to find plenty to match it. And when you’re bringing French inspiration into your decor, you’ll find the same, with a range of styles to consider for your home.

If you’re a maximalist, then French country decor offers ample details you can incorporate in your own home. Romantic pastels and charming prints abound, paired with white painted furniture to really make the colourful elements stand out. Show off all your favourite artwork with a gallery wall, and include plenty of mirrors and eye-catching window treatments to create an opulent look.

Alternatively, maybe you prefer the chic style of modern Parisian decor. Despite its effortless look, it can actually feel intimidating to find the perfect blend of pieces for a laid-back yet classy home look. But you can easily bring that certain je ne sais quoi of understated sophistication with light and lovely linens, distressed finishes, and a jewel tone velvet sofa.

Greece

You can live your best Mamma Mia! life on the Greek mainland or one of its 200+ inhabited islands if you choose Greece for your summer holidays. Over 30 million tourists visit Greece every year, drawn by the crystal blue waters and warm Mediterranian weather. Greece also has some incredibly distinctive home decor that you can mimic in your own space.

Santorini’s iconic blue and white colour palette is an obvious choice. Paint your walls a crisp white and add bright blue accents on your windows, mantels, or door frames, or for an easy alternative, choose a blue and white combo for an area rug or bedding. Columns are another essential element of Greek styling, inspired by the ancient ruins that can be found throughout the country. Pedestal furniture can recall this look, especially when crafted of marble or stone.

Finally, Greece is known for its laid-back lifestyle, so comfort is key. Accessorise your sofa or bed with plenty of cushions and throw pillows to ensure lush lounging for your seating options.
