Warner Bros presents The White Lotus, a visually captivating show known for its compelling storytelling. The third season, which premiered in February, is filled with stunning fashion and set design. The show’s resorts have become iconic for their luxurious aesthetic, inspiring collaborations with renowned names in style, beauty, and decor. Interior design expert Evan Clabots from Cozey praises the show’s use of rich interiors rich with floral motifs and textures as powerful storytelling tools.
If you’re inspired by The White Lotus’s opulent style, consider bringing the resort’s aesthetic into your home. Each season, from the tropical luxury of Hawaii to the European extravagance of Sicily and the lushness of Thailand, offers design inspiration that is to die for. Interior design experts recommend ways to infuse your space with the essence of your favorite season, turning your everyday life into a vacation.
Expert Evan Clabots and design manager Lindsay Zborowski share tips on incorporating the show’s distinct aesthetics into your home. For example, for season one’s island luxury theme set in Maui, incorporate natural materials like cane and rattan, greenery, and tropical motifs. To achieve the Sicilian sophistication of season two, opt for antique artwork, Italian craftsmanship, and luxe materials.
Incorporating elements inspired by The White Lotus can help create a stylish retreat within your own home, evoking the luxurious and captivating atmosphere of the show’s iconic resorts.
“Zborowski describes a setting filled with ornate details, intricate carvings, and luxurious fabrics. The rich jewel tones and gilded accents enhance the opulence and grandeur, transporting viewers to a past era of European elegance. This opulent design style goes beyond Mediterranean influence to embody luxurious Old-World chic. It includes vintage pieces, lavish materials, and authentic Italian craftsmanship. Season production designers procured props and materials from Sicily for an authentic touch. To recreate this look at home, focus on dark wood furniture with intricate details, metallic highlights, high-quality materials like marble and velvet, and European-inspired art and decor. Details such as picture-frame molding and chair rail molding can elevate your space and are relatively simple to DIY.
In Season 3 at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, the aesthetic is set in Thailand, showcasing tropical flair, cultural influences, and biophilic design. Using natural materials like wood and stone with their natural imperfections and textures, a muted color palette and minimalist approach create a serene atmosphere that allows viewers to appreciate the beauty of simplicity. Embracing modern minimalism and Thai-inspired design is key to achieving a similar look at home. Thai design principles emphasize balance, harmony, and a deep connection to nature, incorporating materials like wood, clay, and stone, and architectural designs that integrate with the natural environment.”
