The Amalfi trend isn't just about decoration; it's about the art of living. It embodies slowness, the pleasure of simple moments & the beauty of the handmade. With its vibrant hues, natural materials & invitation to travel, this trend is a breath of Italy at home!
Inspired by the famous Italian coast, it plays with natural elements, vibrant colors & a relaxed atmosphere that instantly transports us to a sunny setting. Can you imagine yourself under the bougainvillea, lemonade in hand, surrounded by whitewashed walls and warm textures? Here's how to recreate the spirit of the Amalfi Coast in your own home.
Invigorating colors
The Amalfi trend color palette captures the essence of sea & sun: intense sea blues, bright lemon yellows, luminous whites and touches of terracotta. Opt for a cobalt blue accent wall or bright yellow cushions to add personality without overpowering. The key here is the balance between freshness and warmth.
Honorable materials
Raw materials are at the heart of this fashion. Aged wood, exposed stone, hand-crafted ceramics & linen are omnipresent. Consider incorporating distressed wood furniture, wicker baskets, natural linen tablecloths & hand-crafted ceramic tableware for an authentic & sustainable touch.
Never too much greenery
Greenery is essential to complete the Amalfi touch. Potted plants such as olive & lemon trees create a naturally relaxing ambience. If you have a balcony or garden, imagine it as a Mediterranean oasis with hanging plants, planters and a rattan chaise longue for a “dolce vita” effect. Add wrought-iron lanterns or garlands for a soft, warm glow at sunset.
Small extra accessories
Complete your decor with colorful ceramic tiles or rugs inspired by azulejos, the emblematic tiles of southern Italy. These decorative elements, both sophisticated and casual, create an inviting atmosphere - bursting with character. Textured cushions, or even curtains in geometric prints could also add that effortless handmade touch!
