Greek Isle Bound
Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 1/1/2006
Inspired by the luxury liner lifestyle, this seaworthy trend captures the elegant yet understated spirit of the Mediterranean. Retro elements like Art Deco resurface, blending smoothly with contemporary designs for a crisp, clean approach. Sharp cuts, defined lines and precise geometry contribute to the innately chic vibe. Tile motifs, a refreshing marine palette and luxe accents like gilded martini sets add up to one heady cruise on the Aegean.
