Mexican style is an explosion of colors, patterns and textures. Forget about muted palettes – here, intense shades of turquoise, orange, yellow and red reign supreme. Contrasts are also important – the more energy, the better.

How to achieve this style at home? Focus on handicrafts, and the spirit of Mexico will be brought into your interior by:

• colorful ceramics,

• painted plates and bowls,

• woven baskets,

• textiles with traditional patterns.

Cushions with fringes, patchwork throws, clay pots and colorful curtains can transform an entire room. Furniture and decorations made of wood are also a great idea – preferably raw, carved or painted in vibrant colors.

If you dream of a space where you can truly relax, be sure to explore the Japanese style.Space, light and quality are important here. Less is more – this style does not tolerate excess. Its defining features are:

• natural wood,
• simple shapes,
• light colors,
• bamboo,
• stone,
• paper lamps.

Everything simple, but beautiful.

Japanese interiors are orderly, but not cold. It’s rather warm minimalism, which is calm, soft and soothing. A mat on the floor, a few plants and low furniture are enough to feel zen.

Greek style is about sun, peace and a holiday atmosphere. White dominates, broken by intense blue – like on Santorini. Light walls, blue accents, a bit of raw wood and you can feel like you are on a Greek island.

Opt for natural materials:

• linen,

• ceramics,

• stone,

• handmade accessories.

Furniture can be simple, or even slightly rustic, like from a summer house by the sea. And if you have a balcony, place a few clay pots and a wicker armchair on it.

Portuguese interiors are rooms with soul – they are authentic and full of details. The most characteristic elements are vintage items and azulejos, which are colorful, patterned tiles. You can lay them in the kitchen, bathroom, or just as a decoration in a frame on the wall. You can also opt for accessories that refer to this style. Combine them with light fabrics, wood, stone, leather.

Spanish style is warmth, energy and bold accents. Saturated colors dominate: deep red, juicy orange, sunny yellow – colors that are associated with the hot southern climate and the joy of life.

In Spanish-inspired designs, natural materials reign supreme:

• terracotta flooring,
• dark wood furniture,
• handmade tiles,
• mosaics,
• wrought iron decorations.

It’s worth choosing furniture with rounded shapes, with visible decorations and a history. Complete the look with textiles – patterned cushions, embroidered curtains, thicker throws in intense colors.

New York style is the classic urban loft:

• brick on the wall,
• concrete floor,
• visible installations,
• steel shelves,
• glass.

The most characteristic feature is an open-plan space with few decorations. Start with metal accessories, black lamps, loft shelves and a muted color palette – grays, whites and blacks.

California is a completely different story. Here, casualness, natural materials, light and boho inspirations rule. Suitable options include:

• white walls,
• light wood,
• beige fabrics,
• lots of plants,
• handicrafts: woven baskets, macrame, ceramics.

Soft rugs, cushions and textiles in natural colors will also work great. This is an excellent choice if you want to create a space where you can truly relax.

You don't have to travel to the other end of the world to feel the atmosphere of distant places! Invite travel-inspired style into your home. Don't be afraid to mix inspirations – travel style in interiors is about playing with form, color and texture. Choose what is close to you and create a space that will remind you of travel memories or dreams.
