Living like globetrotters

The ethno interior style is a style for people who like colour and like to combine different patterns and materials. Animal prints make you think of Africa. Colourful ikat patterns look modern. Asian and embroidered flowers create an ambience like in South or Central America. Everything the world has to offer in terms of patterns has been incorporated into the ethnic style. 
This means that all colours are "allowed". If you like it warm and cosy, combine earth tones and warm colours. If you want to evoke a marine feeling of freshness, reach for ikat in blue and green, for example - anything goes in Ethno Chic.

The ethno style is characterised by natural materials. Depending on the budget, polyester cushions, synthetic fabric and plastic decorations are also used, which only have patterns in the ethno look. But those who want to do it "right" help themselves to nature - just like the peoples from whom the first trendsetters copied. A surface of wood or stone, details of leather and grasses as well as walls in earthy colours or even bright colours contribute to the Ethno ambience. Cushions and blankets can be made of cotton or wool. More exotic wool such as llama or cashmere gives the room a noble touch. Accessories such as vessels, boxes, vases, lamps or bowls in the Ethno Style are made of wood, clay or grasses and can contain details such as mother-of-pearl, inlay work or pressed leaves and flowers. Metals also feature in the Ethno Style, but not in every form. Copper and brass, preferably hammered or with patina, fit particularly well.

A flat in ethnic style can, but does not have to be completely colourful. This style lives above all from the accessories: an oriental lamp here, a colourfully woven carpet from the Andes there, animal figures or wooden masks on the wall and an Asian-looking fruit bowl made of grasses on the table. With a few highly visible accents in the right places, you can create a chic ethnic look even if the house is otherwise predominantly furnished in white or muted colours. Many people who actually have a different interior design style combine it with effective design elements in the Ethno Style and thus create an individual living ambience.

Geometric patterns go perfectly with the REMOTE or LEAF LIGHT handle sets.

Floral or flowing patterns are the ideal combination for the fittings in the LUCIA range or the CAROLA PIATTA S door handle with its conical handle and beautiful round decorative applications.

The AVUS SERIES combines round and straight-lined elements, making it particularly suitable for an ethnic interior that mixes deco from all over the world.

COPPER or BRASS match the Ethno Style perfectly. For sliding doors, the PLANEO GM 49111 handle shell in copper and black or brass and black is therefore the ideal choice. The LUCIA range offers beautiful door handles with discreet but effective copper or brass inlays.
