Peace in Greece

A pristine dining décor concept mood board inspired by Santorini’s idyllic set-up 

Rows of white washed houses atop steep cliffs, nestled between calm blue skies and sparkling turquoise waters. Santorini’s idyllic set-up is our inspiration for a pristine home décor ambience.

With the combination of simplistic whites and accented blues. Its rather easy to transform our homes into a dreamy coastal, greek world.

In this mood board, the dining region is the functional point. A clean, rounded, light wood table is highlighted with all-blue painted chairs. The wall art behind is a rather simple yet sophisticated DIY. All we need is old dining plates of various sizes and hang them up on the wall in a random-cohesive manner. A clear blue glass, globe-pendant light binds the area together.

The white arc walls separate out various areas within. Bougainvilleas are perfect flowers to add that dramatic color and ornamentation. Place them on the window sill or at the door entrance.

To get a coastal-greek flavor in our homes, the idea is to keep a white predomination added up with a décor that is minimal and clean, so as to give that airy, summer-feel.

Tropical Punch

 Quirky mood-board for a tropical-colorful decor scheme.

Taking a cue from regions where sun, forests, flowers, creatures and colors never fade. From there, we get inspiration of elements that make for an emphatic punch of tropical vibes within our home spaces. Over the top use of bold colors, the spunky motifs and the large foliage are some essentials of tropical décor. 

The best part of tropical décor is your license to use colors in bold and emphatic ways. The drama is also highlighted by use of tropical plants and flowers, which give a feeling of living right within wilderness.

Another striking feature of tropical décor is the use of motifs and creatures – parrots and pineapples and plantains – anything over the top, fits rightly well.

A tropical styled living room concept

The simplest way to bring in the tropics in our homes is by using a large artwork with a myriad of colors and abstract forms. Another easy and sure technique is to throw in pillows of various bright colors and natural prints, and then make an ensemble of sorts with these pillows.

But amidst all this vibrancy, it is critically important to have solid-monotone woods and upholstery elements to make the space a tad bit neutralized, so as to not over kill the room.

If you are tired of playing it safe, then a tropical makeover is on the cards. But this kind of décor is definitely more for the bold hearted, who are willing to live in a frenzy of colors, patterns and wilderness.
