STYLE GUIDE: MEDITERRANEAN

MEDITERRANEAN STYLE

Create an inviting, sunny atmosphere indoors or outdoors with this laid-back, almost rustic style.

How?

Embrace Earthy Tones

Capture the warmth of the Mediterranean countries by using a palette of earthy colors, like blush, rich terracotta, golden brown.

Keep it Casual

Opt for rustic rattan and woven cane furniture that bring textures and and for a relaxed feel that takes us back to nature choose rounded, organic shapes. Add soft furnishing and upholstered pieces in sun-bleached cottons and soft, washed linens.

Add Pops of Colour

Embrace the mix of influences in Mediterranean-style decor by incorporating accent colors based on the look you desire.

It could be warm golds and earthy Tuscan tones found in terracotta and pottery or more vibrant Aegean-style blues and turquoise in patterned tiles and textiles.

Finishing Touches

Give rooms a summery feel with the right accessories, such as a faux olive tree or a display of bright pottery on the walls and in furnitures. You can also add a zing of citrus yellow (try placing a simple lemon-filled bowl on a table if nothing else).

P.S. Coastal Style and Mediterranean Style are different it that Mediterranean style uses more warmth earthy colours as opposite to just blues and neutral.
