We’ve had Ibiza-inspired Boho, Scandi and Japandi – now the latest destination that’s stimulating UK home décor trends is the Italian charm of Sicily. 

Sicilian style interior design brings the warmth, vibrancy, and rustic charm of the Mediterranean into UK homes, with the added glamour of this exclusive celebrity stomping ground.   

Sicily is synonymous with style and, hot on the heels of iconic hotspots like St. Tropez, Monaco, and Ibiza that have long been associated with the jet set, it’s fast becoming the destination for celebrities to escape and style it out in their stunning homes.

Fashion icons Dolce & Gabbana own properties in Sicily and their designs often incorporate elements of Sicilian style, from vibrant ceramics to rustic, earthy tones. Renowned actress Helen Mirren owns a restored farmhouse in southern Sicily, which showcases traditional Sicilian design with modern comforts. And Mick Jagger is also among the stars snapping up properties in the privacy of this Italian island.

So what is Sicilian style and how do you get the look?

Some of the key elements for incorporating Sicilian style into UK homes are colour, materials, furniture, and decorative elements that when combined can create a space that evokes the warmth and charm of Sicily, offering an inviting and glamorous Mediterranean retreat.

We’re probably all familiar with the term Parisian Chic, Boho and Scandi (incorporating Ibizan or Scandinavian design), but this year it’s the elegance of Italy that’s influencing our homes – and this is what Sicilycore is all about. 

Similar to Amalficore, this luxurious and laid-back look is about bringing a taste of Italy into our homes to make them feel glamorous and colourful with citrus brights and indoor lemon trees. The aesthetic takes influence from one of Italy’s most stunning islands and an area that attracts some of the world’s jet set… a lifestyle we all want to tap into.

A number of characteristics define this interior styling. A core element is an abundance of Mediterranean colours – from bright blues to earthy terracotta. But the standout hue here is the use of citrus colours and designs – namely lemons.

To get this rustic-luxurious look that’s laid back but oozes quality, dress dining tables with gorgeous lemon design fabrics, and add faux or real olive and lemon trees within the room.
