As it gets colder outside and the days grow shorter, it’s only natural to want a little extra warmth in your home. You can of course create that with soft throws and atmospheric lighting, but there is so much more you can do. Colours, materials and textures play a huge role in this. That’s where the Desert Chic interior trend comes in: a style that blends all these elements into a warm, stylish and natural whole.
How to recognise the Desert Chic style
The name gives it away a little, but let’s break it down. Desert Chic is an interior style where the most beautiful elements of the desert come to life in your home. Think of:
- The soft shapes of sand dunes
- Warm tones of the setting sun
- Raw, natural textures
- Luxurious accents that recall the sheen of golden desert sand
This style revolves around a combination of organic shapes, natural materials and subtle luxury. You’ll see lots of rounded, curved lines, for example in armchairs, vases, mirrors and tables, inspired by the flowing forms of sand dunes. These soft shapes are combined with elegant details such as golden accents, velvet fabrics and warm earthy tones.
The use of different materials plays a key role here: wood, rattan, woven reed and pottery create an authentic, rustic base that refers to the natural environment of the desert. The result? A warm interior that radiates both calm and luxury.
How to bring this trend into your home
Below, we’ll walk you through how to easily apply this trend to your interior in different ways.
1. Start with the basics: wall colours
Choose muted shades that immediately give your interior a calm, natural look. Think of:
- Sand
- Beige
- Warm cream
- Terracotta
- Soft rust brown
Avoid bright and harsh colours; Desert Chic is all about harmony. A terracotta-coloured wall, for example, instantly creates that warm, inviting atmosphere the trend is known for.
2. Furniture: Minimalist with character
The furniture forms the foundation of the style, so choose carefully. Go for simple, minimalist designs, but with distinctive materials or shapes. Think of:
- A display cabinet in a warm tone
- A velvet or corduroy sofa
- An armchair with a wooden frame
- An organically shaped dining table
- A wooden coffee table with rounded forms
These pieces bring calm to the room, while their materials and shapes add a sense of subtle luxury.
3. Decoration: This is where the magic happens
Accessories are where you can really play with contrast and texture. This is the part where Desert Chic truly starts to shine. Go for:
- A high-pile or shaggy rug (the ultimate desert touch)
- Rattan or wooden stools and side tables
- Large houseplants in wicker baskets or earthenware pots
- Candleholders in gold, bronze or warm brown
- Cushions with relief, texture and earthy tones
The mix of rough and soft materials makes the atmosphere warm, rich and inviting.
Calm and purity as a foundation
Even though the style is warm and atmospheric, minimalism remains the base. So it’s better to add one striking terracotta wall than to use five different colours at once. Choose furniture made from natural materials and keep the foundation calm, so that accessories with texture, gold or bronze really stand out. That’s how you create an interior that feels both luxurious and relaxing.
