Get the Love Island Villa 2018 Look

Have you joined the Love Island bandwagon? I mean, whether you're fully committed or not, I'm sure you've had a sneak peak at the idyllic villa the lucky lot get to spend their summer in. This years interiors consist of bright colours, flamingos, pool floats on walls, hanging lights, and an overall laid back approach. 

Now we're not suggesting you replicate the questionable bedroom wall pool float wallpaper, but there is a way to take inspiration from the sunny, vibrant, happy and chilled ambience created. 

So here goes, 7 things you can do to get the Love Island Villa 2018 interiors look (but in a slightly more classy way)...

1. Put watermelons on your wall

I know, sounds a little eccentric! Take inspiration from the fun approach of the watermelon float wallpaper in this years Love Island bedroom, and find a classier version, that still makes you smile. I love this version by Barneby Gates - it absolutely nails the balance of fun and stylish.

2. Embrace a jazzy planter 

Add a pop of colour to your outdoor area with a bright planter! Matilda Goad has the most fabulous little pots in a variety of colours - this yellow one definitely feels the best fit for the love island villa sunshine look. At £30, it's not too steep a price either!

3. Flirt the feathered flamingo trend

Yes, this wonderfully flamboyant bird can be showcased in an elegant, sophisticated way. Keep the best bit: it's eye catching posture and a touch of bright pink. Lose the faux grass backdrop...

4. Splash those floors with colour

If you want to achieve a little bit of wacky, like the statement staircase in the Love Island villa, inject those floors with colour. Check out our bright rugs to get started!

5. Gotta love a bit of faux fur

It may be a little to warm to sleep with, but a little faux fur throw on the end of the bed can still be used for decor in the summer months! The lovely Cox & Cox have a fab range to chose from.

6. Marble & Brass

It might be a little tucked away, but we've definitely noticed that cute side table in the hideaway. The perfect thing to sit alongside a lovely chair. Check out Swoon for a beautiful selection of tables.

7.  Have you noticed how many scatter cushions there are too?

It seems almost every seating area has LOTS of scatter cushions to get comfy with. To achieve the same look, you may want to buy sets of cushions, rather than lots of individuals. We came across the most wonderful set on Victoria H Interiors Etsy store... they're all heavenly.
