Everyone wants a home that is not just a great space to live in but a piece of one’s dream. People spend a lot on the interiors, but rarely does anyone consider giving the home a theme. This National Tourism Day, celebrated on 25th January annually; homeowners can look at decorating their house with a tourism or vacation theme such as Tropical Beach, Rustic Cabin, Mediterranean Villa, Ski Chalet and European Destination. A beautiful themed house also needs to be safeguarded financially with property insurance to ensure that the house is protected against any natural or man-made disaster.

1. Tropical Beach Theme:

 

This theme is perfect for those who love the ocean and everything tropical. This theme is characterised by bright, bold colours and natural elements like palm leaves, shells, and bamboo. When it comes to colour coordination, you’ll want to choose a palette of bright blues, greens, and yellows to really capture the essence of a tropical paradise. Select artefacts that are authentic and representative of the tropical beach theme. A woven bamboo headboard or a shell-encrusted mirror would be a perfect choice. Decor-wise, you can opt for tropical-inspired artwork and textiles like brightly coloured throw pillows (in a plethora of ocean-inspired colours like azure, ecru, greens and yellows) or a handwoven beach-inspired rug.

 

2. Rustic Cabin Theme:

 

A rustic cabin theme is perfect for those who love the great outdoors and want to bring a bit of that natural beauty into their home. This theme is characterised by earthy colours, natural materials, and an overall cosy and inviting feel. For colours, choose a palette of browns, greens, and reds to capture the essence of a rustic cabin. Artefacts can seriously make or break a theme, so a reclaimed wooden coffee table or a log cabin-style headboard would be apt. Decor-wise, you can opt for rustic-inspired artwork and textiles like a vintage-looking plaid or thicker unprocessed cotton throw blanket or a burlap pillow (made from reclaimed jute bags).

 

3. Mediterranean Villa Theme:

 The Mediterranean is a beautiful tourist destination. The sheer variety of islands, culture, food and beauty on display is mind-boggling. A Mediterranean Villa theme is perfect for those who love the warmth and beauty of this region. This theme is characterised by soft, warm colours and natural elements like terracotta and stucco. Choose a palette of warm oranges, yellows, and terracotta for colour coordination. Mediterranean artefacts are all about larger-than-life scenes and natural beauty, so terracotta vases or a stucco-inspired wall hanging are perfect. Decor-wise, you can opt for Mediterranean-inspired artwork and textiles like a colourful tile-inspired throw pillow (made from matching or contrasting fabric swatches) or a woven Mediterranean-style rug.

4. Ski Chalet Theme:

 A ski chalet-themed home remodel is the perfect way to bring a touch of the mountains into your home all year round. Warm, natural materials and a cosy, inviting atmosphere characterise this theme. The colour palette for a ski chalet theme typically includes shades of white, grey, and brown, evoking the look of freshly fallen snow. When selecting artefacts, focus on items made from natural materials like reclaimed wood, stone, and wool. For example, a reclaimed wood coffee table or a stone fireplace mantel would be ideal. For decor, opt for items that evoke the feeling of a winter getaway, such as a faux fur throw blanket or a rustic-inspired skis and snowshoes wall hanging. Additionally, you can incorporate the natural beauty of the mountains by displaying natural elements like pinecones, branches, and antlers. And for an added touch of warmth and cosiness, add warm lighting, candles, and soft blankets. With suitable materials, colour coordination, and decor choices, a ski chalet-themed makeover will transport you to the mountains every time you walk through the door.

5. European Destination Theme:

 Nothing comes close to a European holiday in terms of scale and old-world charm. If you’re a fan of European cities like Paris, Amsterdam, Prague and Rome, a European destination-themed home remodel is meant for you. This theme is characterised by elegant, timeless design and a sense of history. The colour palette for a European destination theme typically includes soft, muted shades of beige, grey, and white, with pops of bold, rich colours like deep red or dark green. For artefacts, focus on items that evoke a sense of history and elegance, such as vintage-style chandeliers, ornate mirrors, and antique-looking vases. Opt for decor items that bring a touch of European charm to your home, such as a tapestry or a classic oil painting.

Conclusion

After your house gets a revamp, how do you ensure the structure and its contents are financially protected against any natural or man-made disaster like fire or theft? Buy a homeowners insurance policy to protect you financially from any damage/loss to the house. When you plan to revamp your house, check if your home insurance policy provides adequate coverage for any damages or accidents that may occur during the renovation process. Additionally, it’s a good idea to let your insurance company know about the revamp and discuss any changes that may need to be made to your policy to ensure that you are fully protected.
