Italian Home Decor And Style

There’s a 7 photos in total number of interest in italian home decor, both in fashion and in home decorating. When referring to decorations, many instantly think “Tuscan Home decorations.” This is easy to understand with the popularity of Frances Mayes’ books, and the many movies set in, and around Tuscany. But Tuscany, with its different and wonderful places and areas, has any number of modifications on “italian home decor“.

Key factors to consider in home decor:

Respect for the past
Embrace of the present
Blending the internal with the exterior
Emphasis on quality, pleasure in craftsmanship
Attention to detail

With the nation’s amazing history – it’s clear and easy to understand the italian home decor regard for customs and the last. Consider Italy’s achievements in art, structure and technological innovation – achievements that were recognized hundreds of years ago and continue to motivate awe and appreciation these days.

But in addition to amazing previous designs, Tuscany is a leader in modern accomplishment – modern design. After all, this is the area of Mercedes and Maserati. The area of smooth modern furnishings that rests juxtaposed with wonderful, traditional antiques; with the effect being nothing short of amazing. After all, with only items – you have the look of a art gallery – rigid and after some time – tedious. But mix the two with a critical eye – the room becomes vivid and in existence.

Blending the indoor and outdoor is a wonderful attribute of italian home decor – what you see on the outside is shown in the internal. And or course, the beauty of the italian scenery is spectacular – whether the wealthy, vivid green of the river areas around Europe, Tuscany’s moving mountains marked with wineries and cypress covered streets, the wonderful seven mountains of The capital, or the hard, amazing sun and dazzling sea off the Amalfi shore. The mild demands the colors – think the warm, radiant colors of a Tuscan farm home wall, the wealthy effervescent colors of Venetian plaster, the sun-bleached patinas of historical rock around Pompeii.

Besides the mild, the nearby landscapes has determined the decorations of the homes – the closest jungles offered the wood that made up the furnishings, the closest quarry offered the rock. And closer to home, right outside the doors actually – the landscapes.

Italian landscapes are popular throughout the world, and everyone has a garden: whether they’re the extremely maintained landscapes of the palazzos, the more informal landscapes of farmhomes and rentals, or Roman residence balconies loaded with public of geraniums. Life leaks out of the homes into the landscapes where “rooms” have persisted for centuries: cusine bedrooms, relaxing bedrooms, whatever the heart desires.

And water has always been a very important focus (the popular Roman Aqueduct) and a growing concern in the landscapes (think of the wonderful landscapes of the Apartment d’Este in Tivoli.) Even the most moderate landscapes have features wherever possible.

Then there is the pleasure in craftsmanship: Tuscany – the area of master artisans. Think handmade terra cotta floor rooftops, complex variety floor floors, designed stone counter tops, fantastically designed ceramics, generously weaved tapestries and sheets, fantastic hand offered glass, smooth simple furnishings… the list goes on and on. And these fantastically (and in many cases traditionally) designed items are as valued these days, as they were ages ago. Cheap mass-produces imitations? No way. Dining bedrooms are clothed with handmade seats padded in Fortuny fabrics; kitchen shelves are filled with ceramics – simple clay containers to intricate majolica pieces.
