How to furnish your Lake house

Views and colors of a Lake house naturally inspire furniture and interior décor: let's see how


Have you just bought your villa Lago Maggiore? Have you fulfilled your dream of having a holiday home for romantic escapes from the city, or are you thinking of using it as an income in one of the most popular locations for international tourists?

You may be wondering what are the best ways to enhance it and ensure that it is always warm and welcoming, but also in line with the splendid natural and artistic context that surrounds it. So here are our tips on how to furnish your Lake house.


CHOOSE THE RIGHT STYLE

The wonderful Lago Maggiore setting gives us exactly the first indications on how to furnish a Lake house: a loved and sought after place for its beautiful views, which are characterized by soft lines and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, between the blue of water and sky and the green of the surrounding woods.


It would be ideal to opt for a country but classy style, such as country chic: natural materials such as wood and stone, colors that recall the external landscape, furnishings and accessories with minimal lines. That's because elegance, as we know, is not excess but taste and balance.

From walls to furniture, up to accessories and details such as curtains and carpets, we recommend you focus on relaxing, warm and welcoming shades. The color palette by Pantone for 2021 is full of interesting ideas that we invite you to discover.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SPACE!

Villas with large windows opening onto beautiful gardens, period buildings in the historic centers of the delightful lakeside villages, or modern charming apartments with lake views. These, as well as many other proposals for houses for sale Lago Maggiore, all have something in common: large entrances, large living rooms, windows overlooking splendid views.


How to furnish a lake house with these characteristics? The key is to aim for the minimum. Instead of crowding the rooms with impressive furniture,  and eye-catching accessories, let the space, the light, the view and the colors of the outside speak for themselves. The result will be welcoming and relaxing, and without a doubt truly elegant. 


FURNISH YOUR HOME BY THE LAKE: CONVENIENCE AND COMFORT IN EVERY ROOM


If you have chosen to buy a Lake house as a place for your holidays, whether it's in the summer or a hit and run weekend, a rule not to be transgressed is that of practical furnishing and equipment.


From the large kitchen equipped with accessories and small appliances, to a living room with comfortable sofas and enveloping seats; as for the bedrooms, choose essential details, but don't give up on comfortable and capacious wardrobes, perhaps to leave a part of your clothing ready for use. After all, what we want on vacation is having fun and relax!

CUSTOMIZE WITH SMALL DESIGN DETAILS

If chosen with care and balance, furnishing accessories and design details can give an extra touch of personality to any environment. In a home with a warm and country style, for example, you can choose cushions in natural fabrics for the sofa, curtains in soft colors, prints or themed photographs for the walls.


Why not using local crafts? Furnishing a lake house with traditional objects or with works by local artists is a great way to give the environment a unique character. And don't forget the light points: there are many design solutions that decorate and create precious stylish corners while giving a soft and atmospheric light.


PLANTS AND FLOWERS: A LINK BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR


A touch of green always manages to create warmth and atmosphere. And if it comes to how to furnish a Lake house, which perhaps is enriched by large balconies or large terraces, choosing plants carefully means guaranteeing a vital and relaxing environment at the same time.


In this case, there are two rules: harmony between inside and outside, choosing plants suitable for the climate and landscape of Lago Maggiore, and an easy management, therefore plants that can live well even in the absence of light (in case you are dealing with a holiday home, where you only spend certain times of the year, for example), or that require little care.


And if you are lucky enough to have a villa in one of the beautiful locations of Lago Maggiore, don't forget to take care of the garden , for a dreamy green outside as well.
