2. PATTERN
Add variations of patterns, try mixing bold colours and play around with tonal shades to accessorize. As the Mediterranean colour palette is predominately warm try adding cooler accent tones to add a balance to the overall colour palette.
3. RUSTIC FURNITURE
Think about incorporating solid and well-made pieces of furniture, to be true to the Mediterranean style choose pieces made of wood or iron. Ironwork features heavily in Mediterranean homes whether it is antique or bronze doors or smaller pieces of furniture like coffee or side tables.
4. INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING
Create a sunny and comfortable environment in your home by allowing windows to bring in lots of light. If you are lucky enough to have a patio or terrace think about how you can bridge the gap between both spaces to create an extension to the living space for outdoor dining. Try using a lighter weight neutral curtain to bring a light airiness to the room.
5. TILES
Terracotta is an easy go-to for an instant Mediterranean feel in dusty orange and earthy brown tones. Their versatility means they can be used for hallways, outdoor patios, kitchen floors, backsplashes and fireplaces. For a more modern feel choose a matte terracotta tile and for something more reminiscent of ’80s Italian décor choose a tile with a glossy sheen.
I hope this offers a little help if you are thinking of adding a touch of Mediterranean home decor to your home.
