International interiors

Be swept away this summer with a timeless look.

There are so many inspiring countries across the world that play a massive role in the development of interior design, and are constantly evolving new ideas.

Some of the most renowned countries (and our favourites at Style) include Bali, Greece and India.

But nobody gives the allure of windswept summers quite like a Mediterranean inspired outdoor area.

Greek design is synonymous with cool, fresh shades combined throughout the house, mostly whites and blues.

The interior and exterior can feature whitewashed walls, clean angles and simple, uncluttered decor.

If you want to utilise this trend but incorporate a little more colour in your outdoor space, include colours that mimic natural vegetation.

Potting a bright bouganvillea against a plain white or blue wall will have a spectacular impact.

For your interior, elements inspired by nature are again popular with this theme.

From wood to faux-fur throws, leather, linen and even silks or precious metals, all will help add the homely yet clean look.
