Most of us are fairly with Italian style when it comes to fashion, accessories, and cars. Just have a look at actresses like Sofia Loren or Gina Lollobrigida for a real Italian fashion style. But what about in the home? Well you can nicely complete your Italian décor with a sabino chandelier - that's for certain!
Italian home décor is very broad but there are some similarities. Italian décor possesses has a hint of Scandinavian, French baroque, and English cottage but yet it's Italian through and through. Bold color schemes and design, unique details, quality craftsmanship, and individuality are all important to the Italian décor. In fact the expression of self is the one element that is so important you'll find it in all Italian décor.
Italy is a country with many master craftsmen so no project is too big or small to reach the quest for individuality and uniqueness. Whether it's a special color, design, image, or sculpture it can be created for you. And Sabino chandeliers are a perfect example with so many design choices as well as custom orders.
Beautiful Italian fabrics are a must to complete any Italian décor. Use them on window coverings, furniture upholstery, or wall décor. These beautiful textiles will transform a room.
Italy has one of the largest leather industries in the world exporting around the globe, so perhaps that's why leather is so very popular in Italian homes. Italy is famous for their leather footwear and their leather furniture with beautiful plush soft leather sofas and chairs ready to engulf a tired body.
Tiles are also very important to Italian décor. Terracotta tiles look beautiful on the floor and vibrant colored hand painted tiles look spectacular on counters or back splashes. You can choose from many different sizes and shapes. Quality is of great importance so settle for nothing less, and while shopping why not have a look at signed Versace or Valentino tiles. They are very impressive!
An Umbria or Tuscany home will most likely have terracotta tiled floor all finished by hand and completed with the same style and tradition of antique tiles. Ceramic tiles are very popular in bathrooms and in recent years the attention paid to the bathroom has really grown.
Not long ago it would have been the one room ignored in an Italian home but today it warrants as much attention as any other room and sometimes more with a focus on modern fixtures and a personal space. Lighting is very important in the bathroom and a sabino chandelier is a perfect way to compliment the décor and provide adequate lighting.
Ceramic tiles are popular in bathrooms, around appliances in the kitchen, on countertops, and on shelves. Tiles are even used to build a feature wall. An excellent choice for areas that get heavy use as tile is very durable and long lasting. And of course tile is very common in flooring.
Marble is also very popular for flooring especially in living rooms and entrance halls. A Persian throw rug is then added to complete the look and ambiance. You will find very few Italian homes with wall to wall carpet. Rather Italians prefer more hygienic forms of flooring that hold up to pets and children and reduce allergies.
Italian style combines décor from different eras. For example it's not uncommon to see a contemporary sofa with modern day comfort combined with an armchair with quality fabric dating to the 19th century. It adds class and warmth to the room, as well as uniqueness and distinction.
It's also not uncommon to see antique lighting mixed with modern styles and your chandelier can be old, new, or even one of each. Although Italian style is broad the one thing that is consistent is the portraying of individual tastes so be sure your Sabino chandelier is all about you! Take pride in your creation!
