Tyrolean style calls to mind a warm and welcoming atmosphere, characterised by the predominant use of wood and natural colours. This style, perfect for the interiors of small mountain cabins or chalets, can be modernised thanks to innovative materials like porcelain stoneware.
Tyrolean-style décor celebrates the cultural heritage and traditional craftsmanship of Alpine regions, particularly those in Tyrol. This style is recognised for its ability to create warm, inviting spaces full of personality.
Wood takes centre stage in Tyrolean design. It is used for furniture, flooring, exposed beams, and panelling. Pine, spruce, and larch are the most commonly used types. Often, the wood features intricate carvings and decorations inspired by traditional motifs, like flowers, hearts, and Alpine symbols.
Meanwhile, stone, often used for fireplaces, flooring, and architectural details, adds a sense of solidity and connection to the mountain landscape.
The use of natural materials and fine woods like oak, combined with stone-look stoneware tiles, makes Tyrolean-style homes feel charming and cosy.
The modern décor of a mountain home should be elegant yet functional, with a focus on sustainability and comfort.

The interiors of a mountain home must be functional while also feeling warm and welcoming. Cotto d'Este offers solutions that enhance living spaces and areas where technical performance is essential, like the bathroom and kitchen.
First of all, make sure that the kitchen is designed to be highly functional, with efficient spaces and ample work surfaces. In this room you can opt for an open-space layout that promotes togetherness and makes it possible to enjoy the views of outside. A central island is also perfect for food preparation and can serve as a gathering spot during social occasions.
Kitchen tiles in a mountain home must be durable and easy to clean, such as those from the Cluny collection, which faithfully mimic the look of stone for a mountain-style kitchen. To maintain a unique design, consider using exposed wooden shelving in order to display dishware, spices, and decorative items, adding a personal and practical touch.
The bathroom in a mountain home transforms into a soothing sanctuary that is an extension of the natural beauty outside. If the space allows for it, opt for an open layout with generous surfaces and a smooth, unencumbered flow. A free-standing bathtub can serve as a luxurious focal point, especially if placed by a window with a view. Alternatively, consider a walk-in shower with stone-look tiles for a spa-like touch.
The stoneware tiles from the Lithos collection mimic the look of natural stone and integrate perfectly with wooden elements to create a truly relaxing atmosphere.
To complete the décor, you can choose mirrors with a wood or stone frame to reinforce the natural style. Add linen or cotton towels and curtains in neutral tones for a soft and welcoming touch. And, to maintain that connection with nature, you can include humidity-resistant plants, thus adding a refreshing splash of greenery.
The flooring in a mountain home must combine durability and aesthetics, especially given the extreme weather conditions.
Porcelain stoneware is an excellent choice for the flooring in an upscale mountain home, thanks to its combination of beauty, durability, and practicality, providing both functionality and style in a natural and often challenging environment. This material is easy to clean and does not require special treatments, a significant advantage for a home that may frequently be exposed to mud, snow, and harsh weather conditions.
Available in various sizes and formats, porcelain stoneware can be used to create unique designs, from over-sized slabs for a contemporary look, to smaller tiles for decorative details. This versatility makes it ideal for the interior of a small cabin, adapting to the necessary dimensions as needed.
The stoneware surfaces from the Cluny collection provide excellent weather resistance, making them perfect for the flooring of a mountain cabin.
Porcelain stoneware comes in a wide variety of finishes and colours, including imitation wood, stone, and cement, making it possible to achieve the desired look while maintaining stylistic coherence with the mountain environment. This is why stoneware is able to perfectly recreate a contemporary style for sophisticated luxury chalets.
