Italian decor is renowned for its timeless elegance and irresistible charm. Drawing inspiration from centuries-old traditions, Italian decor seamlessly blends the old with the new, creating spaces that exude luxury and warmth. Intricate details, such as ornate frescoes, intricate carvings, and luxurious textiles, are often showcased, making sense of grandeur. Style director Louise Hilsz takes us on a virtual decor tour.
The colour palette often includes rich earth tones like deep browns, warm yellows, and vibrant terracottas, reflecting the rustic beauty of the Italian countryside. Classic Italian furniture, with its curved lines and lavish upholstery, adds a touch of sophistication to any room, whether it's a cosy Tuscan farmhouse or a luxurious villa, Italian decor transports you to a world of timeless European elegance.
