Not in Santorini? Use our Coastal Luxe checklist to bring a taste of Euro Summer down under...

Where to start when you want to give your home a kind of Euro summer coastal vibe that's not too OTT Hamptons but not completely boho either!

Here's a checklist for turning your home into a beautifully curated retreat that has hints of Italy, Greece, Spain and Portugal (our fave parts of Europe) - no passport required

 

  • Use raw and natural products and finishes - handwoven chunky baskets, cotton and linen furnishings, timber floors, furniture and ceramics with a handmade feel. If it looks perfectly-imperfect, you're doing it right

 

  • A touch of tropical greenery - palms, yuccas, fig leaf or happy plants - go large and create an impact

 

  • Soft lighting - harsh lighting is the enemy of chill. Opt for warm-toned bulbs, woven lampshades and lush candles

 

  • Artful walls - as well as your beautiful statement paintings, think about including some coastal wall hangings, shell embellishments for the small spots or hand-woven wall art.

 

  • Don't forget the floors and windows - A textured floor rug in jute or wool brings everything together and makes stylish difference... and remember nothing speaks relaxed luxury more than sheer linen curtains

 

  • Cushions. Lots of them haha! Not just any cushions. Layer up with textured, handwoven fabrics, natural materials in earthy and neutral tones that look like they've come from a Mykonos beach club!

 

  • Throws - because you're not really relaxed unless there's a throw within arm's reach. Drape across your bed, sling it over a chair or create a soft messy pile on corner of your lounge

 

  • Rustic touches - compile a few small old-looking rustic pottery pieces, handmade and full of soul

 

  • Finally, add something personal - your favourite home books, a few family pics in frames, plus your mum's old trinket bowl...
