Kare Design: Alpine Chic at its Finest

If you’re after a warm and inviting interior that embraces the beauty of the surrounding landscape, then Alpine interior design is the way to go. It’s a style that captures the essence of alpine living and helps define a cosy retreat from the outdoors. Kare Design embraces this trend with its latest furniture collections…

With snow globe lights, black and white contrasts and cool statement pieces, Kare gives the chalet style a stylish upgrade – one time rustic cosy and another time with a modern glam factor. This is alpine living at its finest. For those who like their homes to be cosy in winter, we present Mika, probably the fluffiest armchair of all time, as well as matching furniture and accessories in the classic alpine look. Discover lots of products to achieve the look in your own home…

How to achieve Alpine interior style at home:

Natural Materials:

The use of natural materials is a hallmark of Alpine design. Wood, especially reclaimed or aged wood, is a predominant material. It’s often used for exposed beams, flooring, and furniture. Stone and other rustic materials also play a significant role in creating an authentic mountain feel.

Warm Colours:

Choose warm and earthy tones and include shades of brown, beige, deep reds, greens, and blues, all of which are reminiscent of the natural surroundings. These colours contribute to a cosy and inviting ambience.

Cosy Textiles:

Textiles are essential in Alpine design. These can help you create a comfortable and warm environment. Elements like heavy curtains, plaid patterns, faux fur throws, and woollen blankets add both visual and tactile warmth to the space.

Fireplaces:

Given the often chilly mountain climate, fireplaces are a common focal point in Alpine interiors. They contribute to both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the design, providing warmth and a sense of comfort.

Traditional Patterns:

Alpine interiors often feature traditional patterns like checks, plaids, and Nordic-inspired motifs. These patterns are commonly found in textiles, upholstery, and decorative elements.

Rustic Furniture:

Furniture in Alpine interior design tends to be solid and rustic, often made from wood and featuring handcrafted details. It’s not uncommon to see pieces with distressed finishes or vintage elements that add to the overall charm.

Local Art and Decor:

Incorporating local art, handicrafts, and decor items can add an authentic touch to the design. This might include traditional ceramics, antler decorations, and other regional artifacts.
