Boca do Lobo knows well that what we see, experience and stuff into our suitcase on our annual summer break has an increasing influence on our home decor. Holidaymakers return from a pampering stay wanting to recreate the relaxing mood of their time off, from the marble-clad bathrooms to the relaxing living room design.
Our interior design team is skilled at taking the essence of a place and reinterpreting it through contemporary design. So if you have a yearning for the stylish environs you’ve just left behind, banish the post-holiday blues with these tips, showing how to bring your holiday back home.
The Caribbean
An easy, breezy, fresh feeling is the aim for a look based around a Caribbean hideaway, where the relaxed interior doesn’t compete too hard with the main attraction – an uninterrupted strip of blue sea and sky.
Boca do Lobo suggests:
Greece
Sticking with the simple, time-honoured Greek aesthetic of white walls and polished concrete floors, you can used Greek walnut to create modern headboards and “floating” desks. Hard-carved basins made from local marble are another example of harnessing traditional skills to create a clean, modern look. Investing in some furniture with a striking contrast between white and walnut is one way to recreate the style. Alternatively, add accessories in marble and brass to give a hint of the Hellenic.

South African Safari
To get this style, forget draping every surface with animal print. Instead, pair rich, earthy tones with metallics and play up the contrast between rough, natural textures and more smoothly-finished ones.
