Nometrè – A calm European interior has an air of sophistication and effortlessly integrates ancient and modern elements, resulting in a cosy and inviting atmosphere. At Nometrè, we try to follow this aesthetic and help our clients reach it, by offering timeless classics, authentic European homeware, and bespoke furniture that captures the essence of Europe. If you are designing a reading nook or designing an entire house, don’t worry about it; this book will help you understand the fundamental principles of the European interior style.

Defining the Relaxed European Style

First and foremost, the relaxed European style is the epitome of balance between style and utility. The design in this style originates from the easy-going styles of Mediterranean villas, the French countryside, and Scandinavian homes. It is not flashy; rather it is understated and self-assured creating spaces that look lived in and cosy while exuding a graceful aura.

Some elements that are signature to this style are:

• Neutral Colour Palettes: Soft colour tones such as white, beige, and pastels that unify the surroundings.
• Natural Materials: Stone, timber, linen, and wool are the materials used which bring about depth.
• Vintage and Modern Fusion: Pairing up antique and modern suits all occasions.
• Layering Textures: Carpets, throws, cushions, and curtains help add warmth.
• Understated Elegance: Simplicity without overdoing intricate or detailed designs in order to maintain sophistication.

Easy Steps For Achieving A European Interior Look

1. Always start with a matte neutral colour

You need to begin with a shade palette base that’s matte neutral for the whole room or house. Such shades may include beige, off white, or light grey for the walls as their blend in feels more breathable. Having such dull palettes allows you to have other aspects like the furniture or decoration to pop out.

2. Add wood accents

Natural oak, marble, or linen materials boast a raw appeal to the space. Consider these items:

• Furniture: Finding wooden furniture that is unprocessed or has little stain is ideal. Nometrè does custom rustic looking furniture catering to the European style.
• Stone: Polished marble slabs or stones can always elevate the aesthetics.
• Textile: Throws on wool blankets or cotton pillows give accent colour while also providing comfort.

3. Combine old and new together

Most to almost all European styled houses have a theme running through where one decor would make the whole house blend in. Vintage or minimalist pieces can easily be amalgamated together by using old family items or something as simple as a traditional frame with a glazed mirror or an aged wooden table. This combination creates a complex and rich design while remaining minimal and subtle.

4. Be Practical

Comfort and beauty lie in ease of living. For the Europeans practicality is first and foremost but never at the cost of beauty. Furniture must fit the bill and be easy to use while also serving the expected purpose. For example, a dining table extending from Nometrè’s line can be both a centrepiece and a binding location for the family.

5. Accessorise Carefully

Decorate with sense. Instead of overstuffing surfaces with objects of art and mementos use a few of particular significance to you:

• Crafted pottery or ceramics
• Collectible books
• Clustered candles of varying heights

Authentic European designs were used in creating Nometrè’s homeware collection which helps saleswomen in capturing potential buyers’ attention.

6. Expose Different Textures

To achieve the desired elegance as well as comfort in a European interior layering is highly essential. Area rugs, throws, and pillows are an easy way to do so. Layering does its magic, such as linen and a jute rug or a velvet cushion on a wooden chair.

7. Don’t Block Natural Light

One of the striking features of a European interior design is the abundance of daylight. In order to enjoy this frosted sheers or linen can be hung to keep window panes uncluttered. Furthermore, mirrors can be employed to assist with increasing the apparent size of rooms.

FaQs about Nometrè

Q: I have a tight area, how do I add a European touch to it?

A: Start with space-saving designs and a light colour scheme. Mirrors and glass features can help give off a sense of space, while a few selected items such as a ceramic or a basket can give character without overcrowding the area.

Q: What is the suitable way to combine contemporary and antique elements?

A: There must be equilibrium. You could use a contemporary sofa with a vintage coffee table or an old chandelier with modern dining chairs. The two pieces must be connected through a certain feature such as colour or material.

Q: Is it possible to create this look without spending too much?

A: There is a hundred per cent guarantee in that, purchase timeless pieces that can hold the room down, also try scouting for vintage items at charity shops or flea markets. Minor changes like changing furniture paint and adding new fabrics can also work wonders.

Q: What pieces of artwork do you recommend for an uncomplicated European themed interior?

A: Use attractive pieces of art that match your colour scheme. You can also use vintage black and white photographs, abstract art, or botanical prints. A gallery wall with different frames can also be used.

Q: What should be done in order to ensure continuity of the rooms?

A: If you select an appropriate colour scheme and consider repeating certain materials, like stone or wood, I believe it can be done. Approach other rooms in the way you approach kitchens, use coordinating fixtures or a specific fabric pattern.
