Lake Como Villa Vibes

We’ve all seen the typical lake décor: neutral colors, lots of blue, lake-inspired art. It’s cozy and charming, but sometimes lacks refinement. Introduce the Lake Como aspect and you have a whole new vision for the space. First, think Italian tile, airy rattan accents, large stone vases on the patio, and a common theme of marble, brass, and luxurious linen.

The sweeping Lake Como environment is marked by old town with cobblestone streets, lush vegetation, fountains, markets, and, of course, the lake itself. Pull inspiration from those aesthetics as you build your space, and shop specific pieces that helped create that atmosphere in the villa mentioned above.

Decorate Your Home Like It's a Lake Como Villa

This is not a comprehensive list of everything you need to achieve the lake look. However, it’s a good foundation.

9602 Floor Lamp

Our Lake Como Villa inspiration photos feature the 9602 Floor Lamp prominently in the living room. Nestled beside the sofas is the wicker version of Paavo Tynell’s iconic lamp. This beautiful floor light casts an atmospheric glow and features brass details that help tie in other metallic items around the room.

Mediterranea Floor Lamp

The second floor light found in the living room, is something similar to the Mediterranea Floor Lamp. Though not an exact piece, the same folded lampshade, all brass finish, and minimalist elegance is conveyed through the Mediterranea light.

Offset Sofa and 1 Seater

The living room also features slouchy sofas that maintain crisp lines for the perfect balance between absolute luxury and refined elegance. The Offset Sofa and 1 Seater chair are very similar to this style, offering the think armrests, deep cushions, and neutral upholstery options.

Piano Side Chair or Blend Indoor Chair

If you follow the photos through to the kitchen you’ll see gorgeous wicker chairs. By incorporating wicker into the interior, the home adopts an airy, indoor-outdoor feel that welcomes the environment into the rooms of the villa. The Piano Side Chair or Blend Indoor Chair offer that wicker and woven look, handcrafted expressions, and natural materials.

Milk Dining Table

Finally, we have the dining table. The one featured in the Lake Como Villa photos has soft, rounded edges to its tabletop and large legs. From our collection, we’ve chosen the Milk Dining Table. While a little more on the Scandinavian furniture side of design, the table offers that same rounded tabletop and has a rustic expression that fits right into the Italian countryside.

Somewhere like Lake Como demands a blend of the modern and tradition. Both complement each other through the pieces you select when decorating your home. Pair the classic marble sculptures with slim metal pedestals, the wicker chair with the more modern table, and the Mid-century lamps with the more indulgent cushions of contemporary sofa.
