If you're even remotely present online, you'll know that the Euro Summer is taking over social media. And thanks to the sun-soaked beaches, bustling markets, vibrant produce, and charming architecture – it's not hard to see why we're all craving a little La Dolce Vita in our lives.
If Euro travel isn't on your agenda this summer, the good news is you can still live the aesthetic by infusing your home with warm, inviting, sun-soaked vibes. With a few thoughtfully chosen (by me) decor accessories, you can transform your space into something that captures the essence of the Mediterranean, whether that's the French countryside or the Italian Riviera.
Thanks to trends like Amalficore and Siestacore (yes, that's TikTok-talk for Spanish-inspired design) the spirit of the Euro Summer is well and truly thriving. So, whether you're dreaming of the Greek Isles or the Mallorcan coastline, these sunshine-ready home decor finds will bring a slice of Europe straight to your doorstep.
Here are my 15 favorite buys, selected for their ability to bring a vacation-like feel to your home every day, no passport required.
