Hailee Steinfeld brought a personal twist to this European-inspired trend in her dining room – her style marries 'rustic charm and sophisticated elegance'
Designers love the Spanish Revival aesthetic for its warm, escapist qualities, and nowhere sets a precedent quite like the actress's home
It's no secret that Spanish revival interiors are back in a big way, but no one does it quite like Hailee Steinfeld.
The Southern European-inspired aesthetic is among the most prominent design movements of the year, thanks to its warming color palette and emphasis on architectural details. However, the actress has exhibited the most personal twist on the trend to date via her curated accessories that feel unique to the star.
Tapping into the Spanish revival trend (with an individual twist), Steinfeld decorated her dining room with hand-painted jars, colored glass vases, and a collection of indoor plants (including a snake plant and a statement fiddle leaf fig) in the left corner.
With its exposed wooden beams, arched window, and terracotta-hued tiled floor, Steinfeld's room serves as the perfect Spanish revival base. However, we can still replicate the look in rooms that don't already feel quite so Mediterranean.

'The Spanish Revival design trend brings together rustic charm and sophisticated elegance, which in turn helps to create really warm and inviting spaces. The key to this aesthetic is the incorporation of natural materials, an earthy color palette, and a sense of craftsmanship,' comments Samantha Santini, an interior designer and the founder of Collection Noir.
Steinfeld brings the color palette to life through her aforementioned terracotta floor that complements her earthy cream paint and wooden furniture. It is possible, however, to experiment with similar hues without the need for paint or new flooring, as Santini explains.
'Terracotta hues, such as burning oranges, ochres, and earthy reds, are central to this look, evoking the feeling of the Mediterranean landscape. You can easily incorporate these colors through tiles, textiles, and accessories, using warm neutrals such as beiges, creams, and taupes to add that all-important balance and maintain a grounded feel.'

Wood is another defining element, as Steinfeld demonstrates. The exposed beams are the most striking wooden elements in her photo, but the large wooden table and antique-style side piece also bring these natural hues to life. When choosing similar pieces, Santini recommends darker-tone species, such as walnut and mahogany, to truly bring the Spanish-style aesthetic alive.
'Opting for hand-carved furniture, exposed beams, and distressed finishes help to capture the historical, artisanal essence of this sought-after style,' she says.
'Blending antiques or vintage pieces with the more artisanal ones helps to bring authenticity to the design scheme., whilst ceramics, handwoven textiles, and accents in stone, iron, and leather will help to add texture and warmth.' For a failsafe starting point, we've handpicked these pieces below.
Lastly, where possible, the designer recommends 'wrought iron for lighting, furniture, and architectural details and stone for elements such as fireplaces or mosaic tiles' to perfect the 'old-world charm' that makes the trend so unmistakable.
'Combined, all these elements create a rich, layered aesthetic whilst the natural greens of plants help to add a touch of freshness.'
