The Mediterranean style evokes the feeling of tradition, old world simplicity, and artistic craftsmanship that people found comforting in a swiftly changing world.\u00a0 This style can be expressed using paint, furniture, colors, and accessories.\u00a0 Consult with an interior designer, home furnishing stores, local painter, and your local craftsman for your project.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how to create the exotic air of the Mediterranean regions.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Color:\u00a0 Since this style originated in countries north of the Mediterranean Sea: Spain, Italy, Morocco, and Greece; the colors often echo those of the earth, the sea and the sky.\u00a0 Prominent colors are vibrant, rustic colors of cool white, warm terra cotta, strong deep blues, reds, oranges, pinks, lavenders, clear yellow, brownish yellow, olive green of trees, and browns.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Walls:\u00a0 Walls are predominantly textured, real or imagine.\u00a0 Choose textured paint or sand-textured wall to add visual depth.\u00a0 Hand rub layers of paint or glaze on plaster walls for muted effect.\u00a0 Simulate a look of plastered wall with a textured finish using tinted drywall compound and colored beeswax.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Floors:\u00a0 Mediterranean style means hard floor surfaces; ceramic tiles, terra cotta tiles, mosaic tiles, limestone, travertine, or dark-tone hardwood flooring.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Furniture:\u00a0 Select dark woods in distressed or worn finishes with ornately turned legs and feet, low to the floor.\u00a0 Tables are typically rustic, aged, solid and rectangular wood with legs on the outer corners with matching chairs.\u00a0 Hardware is heavy and burnished.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Accessories:\u00a0 Use wrought iron fireplace screen, rustic iron filigree light fixtures, burnished bronze urns, scrolled wrought iron candle holders, hand-crafted iron-work mirror frames, and oversize potteries to add Mediterranean flavor to your home.\u00a0 Copper, stoneware, large vases, forged iron mixes with wood, religious paintings and statuary with touches of gold also suggest Mediterranean feel. \u00a0Stone fireplace mantels and countertops often have bull-nose edge.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Rugs and tapestries:\u00a0 Choose rustic, ethnic, simple and uncluttered style rugs and tapestries in vibrant colors to create a warm and cozy feel to your decorating scheme.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Windows:\u00a0 Windows are often left bare.\u00a0 Place scrolled iron grilles to create the Mediterranean look used in architecture across Europe.\u00a0 Horizontal wood blinds, brightly painted wooden shutters, and lace curtains can work.<\/p>\n
Mediterranean style has evolved for centuries and emerged in simple, functional, and unmistakable designs that can add the exotic flair to your home.\u00a0 Establish a repeat pattern of wrought iron furnishings, earthy colors, and old-world influences throughout your home for a fresh and vibrant feeling of European villas.\u00a0 Give yourself a reward after you achieved the right ambiance by inviting family and friends for a fiesta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
