Furniture ideas to copy for a perfect villa on Lake Lugano

Our advice for those who have chosen or will choose their ideal residence among the houses for sale on Lake Lugano

Ceresio on the Varese side or Lake Lugano for the part facing the Canton of Ticino: two names for this stretch of water overlooked by some of the most beautiful residences in the pre-Alpine region.

Those who have already found their good retreat among the proposals for villas for sale on Lake Lugano, today are probably faced with the pleasant challenge of furnishing it in the most comfortable way and, at the same time, with the maximum aesthetic result. Here are some ideas that we liked and that could become an interesting starting point.

THE LANDSCAPE, THE BEST RESOURCE

The most famous projects, from which to take inspiration, first of all enhance the most precious piece of your furniture: the external environment. Long, narrow and branched, Lake Lugano has dense woodland vegetation on its banks interrupted by some small postcard villages, with the only exception of the beautiful Swiss city from which it takes its name.

All around the mountains, including Monte Generoso, the main peak, create the most suitable setting to be enhanced through large windows and glass walls. The panorama that has probably already conquered you during the tour of the villas for sale on Lake Lugano will be your ace in the hole.

BET ON THE LIGHT

Even in interior design, the tendency to break down borders as much as possible should be maintained, giving up, where possible, the walls to the advantage of the living areas.

The spaces can be divided by ceiling bookcases and sofas. Natural light must be preserved: let us always remember that we are in a pre-Alpine region where the hours of sunshine must be enjoyed to their fullest. How? Focusing on white and light colours, from the walls to the sofas, and creating, if you like, a pleasant contrast with coloured fabrics.

MINIMAL AND NORDIC

A minimal style will serve to give further air to your home. For the floors, open to the wood but always light, while in the kitchens and bathrooms you can play on the material contrast with rock or marble.

If you are looking for a uniform style, which fits perfectly in this context, even the Nordic one is a valid alternative. Functional and bright, it creates a pleasant contrast with the green that surrounds you.

THE NEW AND ANCIENT CONTRAST


Among the Lake Lugano villas for sale, however, it will also be easy to fall in love with the historic houses: in this case you can give wide space to your passion for antiques. But be careful not to fill the spaces too much so as not to create an unwanted museum effect.

Few pieces capable of creating a pleasant contrast between old and new are the ideal solution. A little tip: always start from a delimited area of the house to test the effect. If you like it, that's it.

CARE OF THE EXTERIOR

Equally important is the care of the exterior. Also in this case, creating a living area on the terrace from which admire the mountains and the shores of the lake will be a solution capable of making a difference. And if the spaces allow the installation of an external heated tub, there is nothing more pleasant than admiring the snowy landscape enveloped by the warm bubbles of the whirlpool.
