A designer, Italian interior decorating style is a quality, contemporary look - very leading edge – and very desirable!

This is the perfect look for a modern home – streamlined, clutter free and very expensive looking… It is very easy to live with, and will give you the ultimate feeling of luxury and pampering… and doesn’t actually have to be expensive! Once you know what you are looking for, it is easy to shop around for inexpensive versions…

Just follow these easy guidelines, to get a luxurious, Italian designer style, in your own home…

• The basis of your Italian decorating scheme should be white - just white! – not cream, or off-white - a bright, clean, simple white.
• Paint walls and ceilings in white – it will give your room a modern, clutter-free feel, and will show off your beautiful statement pieces to their best advantage.
• Don’t worry – you will be able to include some color – as accents – in accessories and furnishings – soft neutrals – taupes and soft mushrooms – or a bright red and other bold, modern colors are all good.

Furniture

• You don’t need much furniture – a few, well chosen, quality pieces are better than lots of cheaper items.
• Italian styles pick leading edge looks – with the emphasis on function, form and especially style.
• The leather industry is very important in Italy – and the leather produced in Italy is considered to be of very fine quality – very soft and very comfortable too.
• Choose simple, modern-looking sofas and chairs, in leather and chrome – black or brown leather is a classic, neutral choice – or this is a very good chance to try out some colors.
• Other items of furniture should be of good quality – choose simple modern items, in wood, acrylic, chrome or glass, and mix these with beautiful antique pieces.

• The modern, streamlined, quality look goes for your flooring too – so keep it lovely and clean and pale – to go with your white walls, and clutter-free look.
• Top flooring materials for the Italian interior decorating look are:
  
  
  • Marble - this is another fine, Italian product
  • Tiles - choose fine, ceramic or terracotta tiles – these are fine, quality items produced in Italy too – to try to look out for Italian tiles to get the best quality and an authentic look!
  • Parquet Flooring - this is an ideal choice if you want a warmer look (…and feel!) to your home. Wood is a lot warmer, and softer underfoot than marble or tiles!
  • Don’t fit carpets to an Italian styled room – but Persian rugs will look great – and add that air of luxury, antique and fine designer style. Take a look at these beautifully designed, luxury rugs, that will give you that ideal air of simple quality in your home. Antique Persian rugs can date back hundreds of years.
