If there’s one show inspiring our decor, its The White Lotus – and you can take interiors inspo – including stoneware vases amd lemon-print dishes – from the HBO series with these Italian ceramics.
If there’s one thing I often take inspiration from, it’s television shows.
Whether I’m inspired by a character’s wardrobe or a hairstyle I can’t get out of my head, television has the ability to both influence and entertain – and right now, there is one television show which is influencing our interiors.
The White Lotus has made many of us want to transform our homes into something that’s reminiscent of the fictional luxury hotel in the HBO series, with Italian maximalism at the heart of it all.
According to Etsy, there has been an increase of more than 21% in searches for Testa di Moro and other Italian-inspired pieces compared with a year ago, showing how over-the-top Italian maximalism is an interiors trend that sees no sign of stopping.
“More than ever, shoppers are filling their homes with items that bring them joy and reflect their individuality and many are turning to popular culture – including TV, film and music – to find inspiration,” says Etsy’s trend expert Dayna Isom Johnson.
“And thanks to a recent popular television show, Testa Di Moro vases, a staple of Sicilian decor, are particularly on the rise, with shoppers adding hints of maximalism, mood-boosting colour, and Italian history to their homes. I anticipate this trend to continue to grow over the coming months.”
If you’re looking to get a dose of Italian decor into your home, ceramics is a great place to start – and we’ve shared our selection of 11 home accessories that’ll bring an air of Mediterranean glamour to your space.
