Some guests love the look of sleek modern chalet decor, while others prefer a more traditional, true alpine style. Ultimately, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to decorating a holiday chalet.
At OVO Network, we receive equally positive feedback from guests staying in both ultra-contemporary and traditionally styled-chalets. In fact, many of our successful owners embrace and even merge the two approaches.
Get inspired by these amazing OVO Network properties and decide which style suits you.
Old and new…
Chalet Vivaldaim
This bedroom at Chalet Vivaldaim is a brilliantly executed example of modern chalet decor intertwined with traditional chalet decor.
Notice that the furniture, such as the chaise longue and bed frame both exude classic French charm. In contrast, the soft furnishings and cushion covers featuring modern art bring a contemporary feel.
Chalet Ibusta
Chalet Ibusta is another characterful mix of old and new designs. Take a look at this gorgeous farmhouse table and traditionally styled rug adding warmth, comfort and colour. The eye-catching waterfall chandelier above provides a subtle touch of modern elegance.
Chalet Chamallow
Chalet Chamallow also effortlessly achieves the modern and traditional blend. The cosy wood of the traditional alpine chalet construction contrasts beautifully with the black, industrial-style spiral staircase.
Modern chalet decor…
Chalet Argali
Check out the well-considered modern touches including the cut-out stairway, bright metallic light shades and divider screens in Chalet Argali. Coupled with vivid orange tones, they create an attractive combination.
Chalet Levant Blanc
This striking geometric bedroom wallpaper in Chalet Levant Blanc is attention-grabbing for all the right reasons!
Many guests like a sense of novelty when staying away, so don’t be afraid to make a statement with bold design elements.
This second example showcases more wallpaper flair with this sophisticated silver floral choice.
Combined with a contemporary studded leather armchair, it creates a peaceful corner of the chalet for reading and relaxing.
Helios View Lodge
Artistic sweeping oak curves feature within the staircase, balcony and modern kitchen in Helios View Lodge. The result is an impressive architectural feel which celebrates both natural soft shapes and inventive contemporary design.
Distinctive features…
Aravis Lodge
If you want to add interest but don’t want to do anything too drastic, take inspiration from Aravis Lodge. Its vivid blue feature wall adds pleasing colour to contrast against the wooden background, whilst simultaneously defining the sociable spotlit dining area.
Chalet Bleu Infini
Let the outside in with floor-to-ceiling picture windows and wide bi-fold doors like the stunning living and dining spaces at Chalet Bleu Infini. Using windows and doors to frame incredible views is a surefire way to take people’s breath away! Not only that, but it also serves to create light and airy spaces that are a joy to bask in.
Chalet Patagonia
Chalet Patagonia is a converted farm lovingly restored by its owners, who have carefully retained many wonderful original features. One of these is the main focal point in the living room – the handsome ski chalet fireplace.
Alongside, the variety of warm natural tones, brown leather and soft accents enhance the cosy yet chic fireside feel. The design also demonstrates how the use of wood in both construction and furnishings amplifies that quintessential alpine look.
There are so many amazing options when it comes to decorating a holiday chalet. Will you opt for an inviting home-away-from-home style using traditional chalet decor? Perhaps you’d prefer a modern chalet decor with a sophisticated and contemporary feel?
