Hellenistic Revival encourages luxury through art and sculpture. This decor style invites fantastical elements to create a home design that feels rejuvenating and transformational. There are multiple ways to bring the Hellenistic revival into your home. Some ideas will be more simplistic, others are bolder and more fun. A rich colour palette is also one of the characteristics of this style. Colour is the simplest way to transform a room, the right combination of colours can transport us to a feeling of a sun-drenched day in the Mediterranean. The colour palette is a mixture of black, white and rich blues intertwined with gold details. Among the most used colours are also rich olive and terracotta shades.
This aesthetic is obviously reminiscent of museums. Museums and other cultural spaces that were closed for large periods of time during the pandemic have the capacity to create a feeling of solitude and peace with their large rooms and gallery look. Hellenistic Revival is also a try to catch that feeling inside our homes. Decor brands are also making use of this trend. Boca do Lobo is a brand committed to reinterpreting ancient techniques of craftmanship to create unexpected pieces of contemporary design – often incorporates Greek-inspired imagery in the collections and in the spaces they create, following a classic and elegant style perfect for this trend.
