Tuscan living

If you are like us and love to scroll through Pinterest, there is a big chance you have seen Tuscan interiors all over your feed. A big style trend in the early 2000s, Tuscan style interiors seem to be making a reappearance, and it’s no question why. Warm yet perfectly summery, Tuscan interiors transport you to a dreamy Italian holiday home. Who doesn’t dream of time spent in their home, feeling like a never-ending holiday?

Taking Tuscan inspiration into your home doesn’t have to be complicated. In this guide, we share some styling tips and product ideas to help you effortlessly emulate the style in your own home.

The Sofa

Yes, we are biased, but to us, the heart of every home is the Sofa. For this look, we love our Riley. Riley embodies sophistication and with full, sumptuous seats that provide you with unquestionable comfort. Stylish flared arm and back detailing provide a gorgeously contemporary exterior. Relax however you choose, with manual or powered options. To create a sense of calm that suits the Tuscan vision, we love Riley in our Rush Cream Fabric.

The Flooring

Never underestimate the power of a rug in transforming a space. Too often, flooring is an afterthought when designing a room, but it plays a key role in tying a space together harmoniously. For this Tuscan look, we love a light-coloured Persian-style rug. The pattern and texture in the design give depth, but the soft colours allow for a sense of calm. Consider the Kamran Rose Rug from Ruggable UK. To make things even better, it’s washable, so inevitable spills are no cause for concern.

The Lighting

To create a chilled, summer-esque atmosphere, Rattan features are an excellent choice. Rattan’s natural woven fibres instantly transport our minds to nature, giving it a calming effect that can aid your space to become a sanctuary. A simple way to include Rattan elements is in your light fixtures. We recommend the Habitat Scalloped Edge Lampshade, purchasable from Argos. The weave of the lampshade creates a beautifully soft diffusion of light, which is perfectly inviting.

The Walls

Bring a taste of Tuscanny into your home by using limewash paint to adorn your walls. For a Tuscan look, we recommend this emulsion paint from B&Q. A warm mid brown with orange undertones, perfect for refreshing interior walls for a soft, cocooning room. Classic and cloud-like, use a variety of different brushstrokes to discover the perfect limewash paint texture.

The Plants

We are firm believers that greenery should never be missed when you are decorating. Not only do plants add beautiful textures, but they also help to keep the air in your home clean and fresh. It is a win-win! Specifically for this space, we love Zey from Patch Plants. A snake plant is a brilliantly low-maintenance plant that happens to look stunning too.

The Cabinet

 

Choose a cabinet that blends both style and functionality. Quality cabinets last a lifetime and are an essential part of perfecting your living space. For this look, we recommend opting for our Winchester Collection, in collaboration with Baker Cabinet. Any of these stunning pieces would look great in a Tuscan room, but we especially love our brand new addition, the side table.  Tasteful and modish, the soft curves create a smooth and silky aesthetic, perfect to style and positioning how you please.
