Furnish your home in full island style: our tips!
Summer is almost over, and brings with it the freshness and light-heartedness that we manage to experience during the best three months of the year. Sea or mountain, countryside or city, relaxation is the key word. Whether you have spent your holidays away from home or nearby, one thing is certain: it is never exciting to have to resume the rhythms of the daily routine.
We certainly cannot tell you how to live an "eternal holiday, but surely we have information that will allow you to still have some of that summer climate in your homes?"
The summer is embodied par excellence by the island style: bright colors, sunny beaches and the blue of the sea that mingles with the sky. Does the idea alone make you relax? Well, brace yourself, because we are going to give you the five tips necessary to have a house in full island style. Let's start !
1.The structure
All the houses in this category are often riddled with wind, sea and sun. Reason for which the walls, in addition to being thick, are also painted white and built (partly) in stone, in order to protect the structure is from cold in winter and from scorching heat in summer. So, to start off on the right foot, let's remember to make the rooms bright, both in terms of color but also by creating large windows that allow a great passage of light inside. To give character and not make your home monotonous, we recommend a beautiful deep blue, on the roof or on the shutters, as long as it blends well with the surrounding environment.
2.Green spaces
The second point we are going to analyze is that relating to the green. The external spaces of the island houses are usually characterized by green areas, thanks to flowering plants and terraces rich in vegetation. But the green is not just this! The correspondence is balanced even inside, with the use of sophisticated materials and technologies but also to protect the environment, with zero emissions.
3. The lines
An island home par excellence does not include rigid forms. The curves are the philosophy underlying all the housing structures of an island. Think of the typical houses of Mykonos or Santorini. Tall walls ending with imperfect arches. Symmetry is sought but it is not a must!
4. Wooden elements
Wood is undoubtedly one of the most used materials for creating spaces or corners inside (or outside) an "island home. Often, the use of this material is also associated with that of plants, creating structures covered for example with climbing plants. Furthermore, wood blends well with white and blue, giving the structure a further identity.
5. Hollow spaces
Being often ancient structures, the island houses have spaces made from the rock itself. It is particularly creative "modeling" of areas of wide daily use, such as the kitchen or bathroom, from pre-existing walls and embellishing them with raw materials.
These are the 5 basic steps to make your home similar to that of a "dream island, to have your mental relaxation 365 days a year!
