What Makes a Home "Altrove"?
At Altrove, we believe a home isn’t just where you live- it’s where you most want to be. It’s where your stories come together, where your personality seeps into every corner, and where comfort and aesthetics coexist.
Let’s unpack that feeling.
A Palette That Soothes
The first thing that often defines an Altrove home is its color palette. You won’t find harsh or bright, overwhelming tones. Instead, we lean into a calming, consistent mix of hues that soothe the eyes- think warm neutrals, olive greens and sages, dull rusts and vines, and rich wood tones. It’s just about how colours compliment you and your surroundings.
Plants, Pillows & Personality
Walk into any Altrove-styled space, and you’ll find greenery- not as an accessory, but as a living, breathing part of the home. Plants bring movement, color, and life. Then come the soft layers: pillows, throws, rugs, textiles that invite you to sink in, settle down, and stay a little longer.
The Old with the New
One of the most defining aspects of the Altrove aesthetic is contrast- subtle, thoughtful contrast. We love mixing old and new. A sleek, modern lamp might sit next to a vintage wooden bowl. An antique brass mirror could hang above a contemporary console. It’s this interplay that makes a space feel rich and real, never staged.
Natural Materials, Always
There’s something inherently grounding about natural materials. We’re drawn to linen, clay, wood, brass, rattan- materials that age well and tell a story over time. These textures bring depth to a space that synthetic alternatives simply can’t recreate.
Light That Layers
Lighting in an Altrove home is always layered. We play with height, warmth, and source. Lamps at different levels, sconces for mood, candles for charm. Natural light is a must- streaming in through open windows, bouncing off limewashed walls, dancing across wooden floors.
Scent & Atmosphere
There’s also an invisible detail that makes all the difference: scent. Whether it’s a gardenia candle flickering in the corner, or the subtle hint of eucalyptus from your flower arrangement, scent is memory. And in an Altrove home, it’s always part of the experience.
Books, Stories & Slow Moments
We love coffee table books. Not just as decor, but as portals into art, interiors, photography, food, travel. Books that reflect your interests, your dreams, your personality. They say: this is who lives here. This is what they love (and Altrove loves books).
The Altrove Feeling
In the end, a home that feels Altrove isn’t about trends or rules. It’s about intuition. It’s about layering the things you love. Creating a space that doesn’t just look beautiful, but feels like you.
If your home smells like your favorite candle, has a plant you’ve named, a corner where the light hits just right, a piece of art you stumbled across at a market in a random country, and a throw you cannot do without- you’re already there.
Welcome home.
