Alpine-inspired interiors: bringing a slice of the slopes home
If there is an interior design trend that never seems to go out of fashion – in fact it keeps getting better and better as new incarnations emerge each year – it’s Alpine style.
This look incorporates so many on-trend designer looks for the home including popular styles such as Hygge, Scandi (Scandinavian), Boho (Bohemian), Lagom, Japandi, Wabi-Sabi and Cabincore. And it’s why our latest campaign, Postcards from the Alps, is all about celebrating this look!

Why we love Alpine style for our homes
Hands up, who hasn’t dreamed of snuggling up in front of a roaring fire in an idyllic Alpine chalet? The iconic Alps, spanning eight European countries, are synonymous with breathtaking scenery, winter sports, the tranquillity of nature, après ski and of course, a magical home décor aesthetic inspired by the unparalleled beauty of the mountains.
From glamourous Chamonix in France to Switzerland’s elegant St. Moritz, and the stunning Italian Dolomites, the allure of the Alps is undeniable, whether you're a seasoned traveller, ski buff, or just love the great outdoors.

Après-ski culture is a huge part of the Alpine experience. What could be better than rounding off your day in a cosy chalet or cabin, snuggled in sheepskin rugs, snug throws and shearling pillows, whilst indulging in deliciously decadent hot chocolate, mulled wine, fondue, raclette, and strudel to warm both body and soul!
So this autumn, we’ve filled our Macclesfield home interiors shop and our online interiors store with an array of goodies, home accessories and furniture inspired by alpine style interiors – so you can recreate the ambiance of an Alpine chalet in your own space. And, even if the weather outside is frightful, you can create a cosy home that you’ll love lounging in.
Read on for some fantastic ways to inject a touch of warming log cabin style into your home.
How to get the Alpine home look
Key elements for incorporating Alpine style into your home decor include nature inspired colours, rich and sumptuous textiles, rustic furniture and fun decorative accents to evoke feelings of being connected with the great outdoors.
Think carved wooden furniture that allows the beauty of the grain to shine through, faux fur rugs, natural wood and stone accents, wool blankets, and tactile fabrics reminiscent of the rustic refinement of the slopes.
Alpine interiors are all about warmth and comfort, so try layering plush textiles like wool, fur, cashmere, and sheepskin in a neutral colour palette of off-whites, soft greys, rich greens, and earthy browns to reflect the calming surroundings of the Alps. Traditional patterns like checks or plaid will add a touch of mountain character to your space.
The fireplace is the heart of any Alpine home, offering both warmth and an inviting glow. Make a fireplace focal feature by decorating mantel and hearth with natural accents and candles for ambience. Complete the Alps vibe with statement-making wooden skis, vintage-style ice skates, rustic pottery, and hand carved wooden ornaments that speak of mountain life.

Lucy, our interiors expert here at Arighi Bianchi adds her final thoughts on Alpine style for the home:
“The Alps are more than just a travel destination – rather they are a state of mind, a way of life rooted in nature and simplicity.
“By layering natural materials, cosy fabrics, and a scattering of carefully curated Alpine-inspired accessories, you can capture that same sense of serenity and rustic beauty in your home.
“It’s a look that you can also apply other design principals in - Hygge that centres on warmth and cosiness, Boho that’s about creativity and individuality, and Scandi which incorporates clean simplicity with a natural touch. Each style can be tailored to your personal preferences while keeping these core principles in mind.
“So whether you’ve just returned from a trip to the Alps or simply long for the mountain lifestyle, these decor trends will transport you to the heart of the mountains every day.”
