Welcome Italy into your home with the Amalfi decor trend – think lemons, ceramic patterns and bold colours

The Amalfi decor trend is here to help you blow away the winter blues and ready you and your home for a colourful, fun summer ahead.

With buttery yellows and deep blues dominating the interior paint colour trends this year, it's no surprise that other Mediterranean themes are entering the world of interiors. This summer's Amalfi decor trend focuses on Italian influences including bold patterns, ceramic finishes and zesty lemon motifs.

As one of the biggest interior design trends of the year, Amalfi decor couldn't come at a better time – spring is finally here, and summer is around the corner. So, what exactly does the trend consist of, and how can you achieve the look in your home? We asked the home experts for sound stylish advice.

What is the Amalfi decor trend?

Surrounding yourself with uplifting interior colours and comforting designs can make your house have a real positive effect on you, take dopamine decor, for example. The Amalfi trend is similar in that it transports you to warmer climates and a more relaxing lifestyle.

“This trend captures the essence of Mediterranean living, combining bright lemon motifs with a palette of blues, whites, and greens," says Victoria Robinson, style and trend expert at Hillarys. "This season, we're seeing brands embrace this trend by incorporating lemon prints onto textiles like cushions, tablecloths, and curtains."

She adds, "Ceramicware and home accessories featuring lemon patterns are becoming popular, along with furniture pieces that reflect the relaxed, coastal vibe synonymous with the Amalfi Coast.”

One of the best things about the trend is how versatile it is to incorporate into your home and lifestyle. Especially if you're looking for some new expert-approved tablescaping ideas, who doesn't want to feel like they're on the Amalfi Coast at a dinner party?

“If you are looking to host dinner parties or simply looking to bring some colour and fun into your kitchen, European style décor is a vibrant yet classic approach," explains Karen Thomas, head of design at M&S Home.

"Hand-painted style plates, quirky jugs or glasses that are citrus-inspired and woven placemats are staples of what many have dubbed ‘Amalficore’ and ‘La Dolce Vita’," she continues.

How can you get the Amalfi decor look in your home?

If you've already started dreaming of recreating your own Italian paradise in your home, then there are a few easy ways you can get started.

Victoria explains, "Start by adding textiles with lemon prints, such as throw pillows, table runners, or curtains. These can instantly infuse a room with the cheerful vibe of the Amalfi Coast. Look for designs that also incorporate Mediterranean blues and greens for a cohesive look."

She adds that you should also stick to a Mediterranean-inspired colour palette and complement bolder hues with colours of the sea and sky. This will create a stunning backdrop for the lemon accents and warm terracotta tones.

"Invest in a few standout pieces that embody the Amalfi aesthetic, such as a ceramic bowl with a lemon design or a piece of artwork depicting a Mediterranean landscape. These can serve as focal points in your space," continues Victoria.

Why is the Amalfi decor trend so popular in 2025?

Participating in new interior trends, like this one, is a fantastic way of adding personality to your home and, in this case, is ideal for welcoming in a new warmer season.

“As Brits, we are always desperately trying to find ways to escape the gloom of our colder climate," explains Anna Jones, Interior expert at Furn. "And nothing does the trick quite like fresh fruit such as lemons - bringing that first hint of sunshine and a burst of zesty, refreshing flavour that reminds us of brighter days ahead."

Victoria echoes this saying, "The Amalfi/lemon trend has gained popularity due to its ability to evoke a sense of escapism and tranquillity, which many of us crave in our everyday environments."

Another reason the trend is being welcomed with open arms is that it recreates the relaxation and leisure associated with the Mediterranean lifestyle. This is why we also saw the Mediterranean garden trend remain so popular last year.

Should you be interested in taking the aesthetic outdoors, then Victoria recommends planting lemon or other citrus trees as patio container plants. She says, "Not only do they add authenticity to the theme, but they also bring a delightful fragrance to your home."
