A voyage through eclectic aesthetics (an interview).
How do you define it?
The globetrotter decoration is the combination of traveling style, Islamic elements, accents with navigation motifs, irregular geometric figures, and natural materials. The colours that will highlight this style are earthy and warm, like sand, as well as brown and green in all their shades. We will also resort to indigo blue for combining, since it is a deep colour that gives a feeling of peace and awareness.
What would be the essential elements?
The interesting thing is that you can combine several chromatic elements, seeking to enhance the beauty of the design, with large decorative ones. You can choose to combine prints, tribal and geometric details that will be noted for their unique and striking appeal.
What to avoid and what cannot be missing?
You have to avoid overloading. Remember that when designing any space, you must strike a balance to make some elements stand out, highlighting those that you want to show off. Natural textures, white wood and a detail of green and brown stones cannot be missing.
How to achieve balance between details and textures?
To achieve a balance in this new style we must find the equilibrium between the loaded and the simple. That is, if we paint a wall in a striking colour, we must place a simple painting to neutralize the space. In this trend, natural materials such as clay, wicker and wood will replace marble, giving a feeling of greater warmth due to their very textures.
What other recommendations can you give readers regarding the selection of colours, textures and decorative elements?
Keep in mind that colours are not only used on walls. If they are very strong tones being considered, you can choose to use them in furniture and accessories. On the other hand, the reuse of furniture and decorative objects can work.
Taking note that this style comes from the traveling dream, you will have the opportunity to recycle and cause the least possible environmental impact. The intention is to feel with its details that you are somewhere in the Middle East.
