Where Old-World Glamour Meets Modern Resort Luxury
Sun-drenched villas. Breezy linen suits. Cocktail hour at golden hour. If HBO’s The White Lotus had you dreaming of opulent escapes, you’re not alone. Add in the effortless luxury of Gucci’s Cruise 2025 collection, and you’ve got a recipe for a tile trend that feels equally cinematic and aspirational.
The Inspiration
The White Lotus aesthetic is a masterclass in tropical maximalism—lush greens, organic textures, and vintage motifs that feel both jet-set and deeply grounded in place. The Gucci Cruise 2025 collection mirrors this energy, with its ethereal embroidered lace, sun-bleached palettes, and effortless tailoring fit for an international getaway.
Now, imagine translating that into interiors—where resort living meets curated elegance.
The Trend Breakdown:
- Lush Greenery & Natural Materials: Inspired by tropical resorts, this palette incorporates deep forest greens, exotic stone textures, and botanical motifs.
- Art Deco Meets Island Luxury: A mix of bold geometric tile patterns and softer, nature-inspired prints captures both grandeur and organic beauty.
- Resort-Worthy Interiors: Spaces that feel both indulgent and relaxing, featuring richly veined stone, moody lighting, and warm wood tones.
