If there is an interior design trend that never seems to go out of fashion, it’s Alpine Style – in fact, it keeps getting better and better each year as new incarnations emerge.
And luxury furnishing and furniture retailer Arighi Bianchi has this week launched a carefully curated collection of Alpine homewares so that customers can recreate the ambience of the Alps in their own homes (no foreign travel required!).
The range includes quirky ornaments, fabulous faux fur soft furnishings, and statement ski-inspired accessories all available both in store and online, with nationwide delivery available throughout the UK.
“Ski chalet chic remains a perennial favourite, especially in the winter months, blending the warmth and cosiness of mountain living with contemporary design elements,” says interior expert at Arighi Bianchi Lucy Mather.
“From the exclusive area of Courchevel to glamourous Chamonix, and elegant St. Moritz to the stunning Italian Dolomites, the Alps are synonymous with breathtaking scenery, exciting winter sports, the enormity of nature, and A-listers’ infamous après ski activities. But it’s not just the white mountains of the Alps we lust after – the interior aesthetics are perfect for creating a cosy British home during the winter months.
“Who hasn’t dreamed of snuggling up in front of a roaring fire in an idyllic log cabin?
“Inspired by the unparalleled beauty of the mountains, the Alpine aesthetic ideal for creating your own welcoming winter wonderland indoors even when the weather outside is frightful.
“And if you love interior-design trends like Hygge, Scandi, Boho, Lagom, Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, and Cabincore, the magical Alpine décor look is the ultimate next level … a perfect fusion of comfort, simplicity, and natural beauty.”

Lucy adds:
“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.”
