Wayfair’s Resident Style Advisor, Dee Fontenot, shares her expert tips to create a sun-kissed indoor space that captures the essence of the Amalfi coast - the ultimate backdrop for summer soirees...
- Channel the spirit of Italian summer by bringing the outside in when styling up an indoor tablescape.Statement vasesfilled with garden-cut blooms will bring a little magic to your table and can be integrated easily and affordably. Use a range of vessels in staggered heights and a medley of different florals, from blousy roses to bright tulips for a bold look.
- Filling acarafewith fresh fruit and herbs is an easy way to bring both a sense of finesse and a dash of colour to your table. Forgo traditional lemon slices in favour of zesty pink grapefruit and sicilian oranges, adding a few sprigs of mint for an easy aromatic addition that will look good and taste delicious!
- Don't worry about matching your tableware. An eclectic mix ofplates, napkins andcoloured glasseswill make your table feel approachable as well as stylish. Relaxed Mediterranean hosting is all about the ‘artfully undone’ look.
- Think of your summer tablescape in the same way that you would your interior, choosing a small handful of recurring colours running throughout. If you’re looking to channel destination style, add a few hot accent shades - think look-at-me pink, bold cobalt or sunny yellow.
- For a true Italian holiday feel, make sure that refreshing tipples are easily at hand. A stylishserving trolleywith spritz aplenty will be a welcome addition to any dinner party, as well as a show-stopping talking point.
- Feeling adventurous? Switch out traditional wall art for a touch of drama with a platescaping display. Opt for a variety of sizes, but stick to a distinctive colour palette for a cohesive look.Patterned melamine plateswill look just as authentic as vintage finds but will be lighter and kinder to your walls.
