Alpine Escape

Winter is the perfect time of year for creating a cosy and inviting interior space and an ALPINE ESCAPE interior design perfectly encapsulates a mix and match of cool and crisp colour schemes and cosy fabrics. This Scandinavian inspired alpine interior design can create a sophisticated yet rustic feel within the home and is ideal for creating a warm and welcoming space to curl up on the long winter nights.

Alpine interiors can include two distinct colour schemes that can be tailored to your preferred interior look. If you love the rusticity and warmth of traditional log cabins then why not opt for a rich cream and beige colour scheme that can be accented with chocolate brown, tan or russet colour schemes that are sure to create warmth in your chosen space. If you prefer the more crisp and sleek style of Scandinavian interior design then you can select a colour palette that features crisp white, soft greys and arctic blues that create a perfect winter inspired interior feel that is fresh and illuminating. Wallpaper designs can also be included in an alpine interior design, modern tree shaped patterns will look great with a crisp colour scheme or opt for a wood effect wallpaper or panelling for a more rustic log cabin effect.

Creating warmth and cosiness is a key element of an alpine interior design and selecting the right fabrics and materials for your soft furnishings and upholstery is key to achieving the desired look. Faux fur is a great addition to an alpine inspired home interior and can be used on your cushions, throws and rugs to create texture and cosiness in any living room or bedroom interior. Opt for soft grey and white furs for a Nordic inspired look or warm fox orange and chocolate furs for a more rich and rustic feel. Team the faux fur with natural linen curtains and throw in some chunky knitted cushions and blankets that can be layered together to create the perfect space to snuggle up with a hot cup of tea. If you wish to add some added visual detail to the room then opt for some photographic animal cushions featuring arctic fox, squirrels and reindeer that will look great in any room of the home.

For a Scandinavian alpine interior then opt for some crisp white or grey painted furniture items that will create a light and open feel while maintaining a sense of traditional cosiness. Select a single colour palette or mix and match the grey and white for tonal variation in the room. For a more rustic alpine design then select some chunky or weathered oak furniture that will create a rich and cosy interior finish that is perfect for the winter season. Complete the look with traditional alpine inspired accessories such as stag heads, pine cones, leaf garlands and woodland inspired artwork that will look great above a roaring fireplace or feature wall.
