Tips & Tricks: How to Decorate in the Spirit of Lake Como

byTeam GM

6 years ago

Ah, idyllic Lake Como… We catch ourselves dreaming of this little piece of Italian paradise on a regular basis as it is, and with Gray’s release of brand new images from the destination, our daydreams have been kicked into high gear! We’re obviously dying to add these new prints to our space already, and we’ve come to the conclusion that every corner of the house can benefit from a little Italian flair. Don’t you agree?

From those pastel, taffy-colored facades on the water’s edge, to the rich mahogany of the iconic Riva Aquarama, everything about Lake Como takes us back to another time. (A time that seems like something out of a dream, at that.) So, it’s no surprise that we’re pulling inspiration from this region of Italy, and injecting it into every bit of décor that we can. Keep scrolling to see how we’re decorating in the spirit of Lake Como, and make sure to shop your faves so you can escape to Italia with us on the daily…
