The mountain style is found especially in the design of holiday homes or chalets in mountainous areas. This design style is characterized by several specific elements, such as wood, natural stone, or natural textiles (linen, cotton or wool fabrics). More specifically, the mountain style is highlighted by massive-looking elements, supported by a color palette consisting of warm neutral shades and dark woody shades.
Furniture and materials
When designing a mountain-style space, we recommend light-colored furniture, with white being the ideal choice as it can be easily combined with other textures. To complement the decor, choose wooden shelves mounted on the wall and a solid wood chest of drawers, and if space allows, you can install solid wood beams in different areas of the house, where you can later attach various decorations. In addition to solid wood as the central material in this type of design, choose to support its massiveness with other natural materials, such as stone, leather, fur.
Colors
The color scheme in the mountain style is based on warm natural shades, inspired by natural elements (stone, wood, plant elements). The most suitable colors for decorating a mountain style home are beige, brown, dark green, brick. For a splash of vibrant color, the aforementioned neutral shades can be combined with tones of red, yellow or navy blue, for a surprising stylistic effect.
Floors, walls, ceiling
In the mountain style, the walls, ceiling and floors have some stylistic standards that must be taken into account so that the result is the desired one. For floors, unfinished solid wood is the best option, and you can place a handmade wool rug over the floor. In the case of walls, the mountain style is based on neutral shades, such as cream-white, butter-white, dusty blue. As for the ceiling, it must contain structural elements specific to the mountain style, such as wooden beams that can be painted in natural shades.
Decorations
Decorative elements are extremely important in arranging a space in a mountain style. Natural elements, such as fir cones, garlands of dried orange slices, wooden baskets with dried fruits, lighting fixtures with straw or wooden lampshades, photo frames made of unfinished wood, are ideal choices for decorating the living room, for example. Textile elements, such as handmade rugs, furs on the solid wood floor or on the walls, mats, decorative pillows or curtains made of natural materials (canvas, wool, cotton) enhance the space arranged in a mountain style.
The mountain style can be highlighted, without a doubt, by warmth and simplicity. Even though in its pure form it is only found in holiday homes or chalets, this design style can offer a unique air to any room.
