My exotic atmosphere: immediate boarding
It immediately evokes travel, relaxation and holidays: this summer, let's bring an exotic atmosphere into our homes. For several years now, it has been available in different styles: often tropical, sometimes tribal, it can also evoke the atmosphere of a distant seaside or give a terrace an exotic look. Here are some tips for adopting an exotic atmosphere, indoors or outdoors, and making your home a relaxing corner of paradise...
Indoors, an "elegant" exotic style
To avoid excess, the exotic style indoors must remain elegant: we avoid the jungle effect and overly bright colours, and we focus on an atmosphere that works everywhere and all year round. Soft colours invite relaxation: sand tones and variations of blue blend wonderfully in a "Earth and Sea" monochrome. While ochre and orange tones give a more Mediterranean, sunny and modern accent.
In the living room, small touches of rattan and caning (which are making a comeback in decor trends) are paired with beautiful textiles (linen, woven cotton, etc.). As for furniture, natural materials, such as raw wood, bring warmth and contrast. Choose furniture with clean lines, which emphasize the material. A touch of driftwood, as a side table or lamp, accessorizes the room with naturalness and sophistication. Green plants, in raw or braided planters, nuance the beach effect and invite nature indoors. As for fragrance, we invoke the generous sweetness of Vanilla Flower: the luminous white flower and the gourmet vanilla transport the senses, immediately bringing to life our dreams of distant horizons...
In the bedroom: an exotic style "full of tenderness"
In the bedroom, we opt for soft and soothing colours so as not to disturb rest. Once again, prefer furniture made of natural materials and dare to use curtains (on the bed, ceiling, or walls) for a romantic travel atmosphere. Complete with a bamboo ladder as a clothes rack, seagrass rugs to cover the floors, and candles from the Ylang-ylang collection to invite a resolutely stylish cocooning.
Outdoors, time for relaxation
To finalize our exotic atmosphere, let's give the garden a holiday feel. Deckchairs and woven caning armchairs are making a big comeback, and that's good: they invite relaxation in style. Generally, sun loungers, hammocks and beanbags are perfect for creating the lounging atmosphere that makes us feel "on holiday". The first step to relaxation is letting go: so we focus on cozy furniture!
Let's add warm colours (why not a little yellow or orange, here and there) and natural fabrics like cotton or hemp for a decor atmosphere that brings a smile. A shade sail, cushions and some lanterns add the final touch that makes all the difference. For the floor, opt for wooden decking like a boat dock (a must to walk barefoot!) and if that's not possible, don't hesitate to overuse woven rugs, in cotton or rush.
Finally, to transport your senses in the garden, think of scented diffusers or Indian incense which bring their exotic ritual: our attention naturally turns to Monoï Soleil. Imagine: at the end of the day or on the weekend, you take off your shoes and go to the garden: a sweet and sunny tiare scent floats on the terrace, evoking tanned skin, warm sand, paradise. Immediate escape: you are at home, but at the other end of the world!
If, as Nadaud said, "to stay is to exist and to travel is to live", the exotic atmosphere combines both: we wish you beautiful sensory journeys, without leaving your familiar surroundings...
