Members’ favourites: holiday homes designed by members of The List by House & Garden
Holiday homes provide the perfect opportunity to decorate in creative ways that you might not ordinarily choose. They should, after all, be easy to live in and help you adjust to a slower, stress-free environment.
The way people decorate tends to accommodate the climate outdoors. For warmer locations, concrete and stone floors and surfaces, linen soft furnishings, and wooden shutters tend to be popular as they are a great way of keeping interiors feeling cool and airy, especially in the summer months. Outdoor areas like patios and gardens also play a big part in the way people use holiday homes in sunny settings. After all, there are very few things better than enjoying a crisp glass of wine in the sunshine.
In contrast, people who own holiday homes in colder locations decorate their interiors in more substantial fabrics, like heavy mohair or wool, as well as dressing the floor with rugs and carpets, and insulating the windows with layers of textiles to keep the heat in. Even the architecture of these homes tend to be designed around preserving warmth: smaller spaces take much less time to heat than open-plan living spaces.
