Are you looking to create the ultimate holiday house vibe with a Palm Springs inspired home design? The Palm Springs aesthetic can work whether you live in the heat of desert or just looking to put a little spice into your home renovation. There are plenty of easy ways to incorporate palm springs style and décor into your permanent residence.

One home design feature that screams Palm Springs is a breeze block wall. As the name suggests, these bricks can create excellent ventilation if positioned correctly making the outdoor space more comfortable. They also give off the perfect Palm Springs holiday aesthetic making your outdoor space feel like a holiday oasis! Things to be mindful of before building your breeze block wall- check which direction the wind is often flowing to maximise the breeze! Also be wary that the gaps in the wall can hinder privacy, especially when outward facing to the street!

Sticking with outside design features, probably one of the best parts about Palm Springs home design is the low maintenance landscaping. Garden beds typically are quite sparse with lots of cactus and palms. Instead of covering the garden bed with low lying plants, soil (or weeds), opt for sandstones. This will give the Palm Springs aesthetic and can be so easy to manage. Grass is often limited in the Palm Springs aesthetic but be sure to adapt the style to your family’s needs. 

Controversial I know but here me out! There will be plenty of space for some pops in colour but as for walls, bricks and larger furniture items, as much white as possible will help create the Palm Springs effect. On the plus side, having lots of white also increases the resale value of your house (something to consider!). 

Now once you’ve painted everything white you can start bringing back the pops of colour. A Palm Springs colour palate often includes whites (obviously!), timber, light greens and dusky pinks. These can be done with throw rugs, couch cushions, vases etc. This all depends on your taste and practically of your family (perhaps less vases if you’re in the toddler trenches!).

If you are wanting to go a bit more bold with your décor choices, adding in palm tree décor can further increase the Palm Springs Aesthetic. Be wary of going too overboard here though as too many palms in the one space can make the place feel a little gauche and tacky.

All in all there are plenty of subtle and not so subtle ways to include Palm Springs Home Design into your space and create the ultimate holiday oasis. Do you have any other must have style elements for a Palm Springs aesthetic? Let me know.
