Introduction

Mediterranean interior design reflects the lifestyle of coastal living, with historical influences from the countries that border the Mediterranean Sea, such as Greece, Morocco, Israel, and Italy. This interior style incorporates beautiful architectural details with light open spaces that blend seamlessly with the property’s exterior.

Style

Elements incorporated into Mediterranean interior design create an interesting space full of character whilst remaining fairly minimalist. Spaces feel open and light with pale, chalky walls and cooling wood or tiled flooring. Textiles add dimension with block print designs, stripes, and decorative patterns in natural fibres. With an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living the colour palette is harmonious with nature. Clay pots, plants, and metal decor for lighting can be utilised throughout the house and garden creating a harmonious flow between home and the natural world. Decor is a collection of handcrafted items, artwork, ceramics and vintage pieces.

Inspiration

This style has origins that date back thousands of years. It is distinctive in design, with architectural influences from the Roman Empire and ornate decorative artistry from Islamic culture. The rich blend of individual histories and traditions from the Mediterranean border countries creates a diverse and timeless design aesthetic.
