Hellenistic Influence - How the ancient Greek aesthetic is making its way into our homes.





From architectural influences for wall coverings to Goddess busts as planters, ancient Mediterranean history is having a moment.












Themes of Greek history have been seen numerous times on the catwalk from Dolce and Gabbana over the years. So why has it taken so long to influence home decor? Perhaps with travel becoming less accessible, dreaming of the Mediterranean has seeped into our colour schemes, wallpaper choices and decorative items - a piece of far away lands to brighten the gloomy days ahead.



The look can vary from a more classical one to a modern interpretation such as the line drawing wallpaper and column vase. Here are some examples of what's out there.

As a palette - Hellenistic themes tie perfectly with the surge in desire for warm neutrals in our living spaces.Display and really curate your items to create a sophisticated look grounding the warm tones with black to add depth.
