The Villa Bella from Casa Linda is a beautiful, spacious bungalow perfect for ex-pats making a new start in the Dominican Republic. If you’ve decided to purchase this floor plan, you’re likely excited to begin customizing and decorating it to your taste!
Whether you want to make changes with our architects from the start or are more focused on furnishing, we’ve come up with a few ideas that fit the style and layout of the Villa Bella that you’re sure to love. Keep reading below to learn more!
1. Choose a Tropical Colour Palette
While you may want to retain some of your personal style for the Villa Bella, incorporating some island aesthetics can help you embrace the culture and lifestyle in the Dominican Republic just a bit more! A great place to start is with your home’s colour palette.
The Carribean's colour scheme usually includes shades of forest green, green-yellow, light blue, fiery orange, hot pink, and white, along with other variations.
Incorporating these bold and saturated hues will create a cheerful and welcoming atmosphere in your home and add a more authentic Dominican touch! You could have a statement wall in the main living area or add subtle touches of these bold colours with decor pieces and artwork.
Whatever your preference, there are plenty of ways to mix the styles of the DR with your own!
2. Embrace Natural Lighting
The Villa Bella is designed to emphasize natural lighting. It features plenty of tall windows and glass doors, giving your home an airy, breezy feeling!
You can further embrace natural light by choosing lightweight and brightly coloured curtains for your windows. Fabrics like cotton or linen will allow the sun to shine through while maintaining your privacy, and shades of white or light blue will prevent the sunlight from being dimmed down.
You can also enhance the amount of natural lighting by requesting larger windows and doors in your Villa Bella floor plan. Our architects will happily make this adjustment and stream as much light into your villa as possible!
3. Individualize Each Room
The Villa Bella's floor plan includes three bedrooms at three different corners of the house, offering plenty of space to try different styles and add variance to your home!
There are multiple ways to incorporate tropical colours and Dominican decor styles. So, instead of choosing one base look for the entire villa, do something different for each bedroom.
For example, room one could feature more nautical, beachy aesthetics, while room two could have jungle-style interiors —the third could mix and match!
4. Decorate with Local Art
Give the Villa Bella a more authentic Dominican touch by furnishing it through local artisans! Natural wood decor, paintings, handmade tapestries, and similar pieces can be found at local markets, art shows, and shops.
Not only will these pieces make your home feel aligned with local design trends, but you’re also guaranteed furniture and decor built for a tropical climate—you won’t have to worry about weather damage!
