If the cold and harsh wintertime has one redeeming quality, it’s ski season — and particularly, ‘après-ski’ activities. The expression commonly refers to the bar and club scenes at ski resorts, however, après-ski style has grown into an aesthetic of its own, characterized by relaxation and socialization in an alpine environment.
In interior design, après-ski style can make a space feel elegant yet inviting and warm, serving as the perfect place to unwind and entertain. Todhunter Earle Interiors define après-ski style as a combination of "luxury, chicness, warmth, and comfort with practical functionality, serving to extend the pleasure of a day spent on the slopes with friends, into the sanctuary of home," and interior designer Katharine Pooley thinks similarly.
