Teleporting yourself to the most beautiful and wonderful coasts of Ibiza or Santorini is more realistic than ever before using decoration. Feel the calm and serenity of the sea with these failproof tips for Mediterranean-style homes.

In recent years the Mediterranean has become a timeless decorative style that can be seen in any house or project. It is a way of bringing the sea indoors whether or not you have the privilege of seeing the ocean on the horizon.

It is the freshness and serenity of the sea. Rich in history, Greece is really where this style emerged thousands of years ago. It was the Greeks who, thanks to their moderate climate, were the first to advocate the development of outdoor living and began to opt for large patios and terraces in their private residences.

One of the essential characteristics of Mediterranean-style houses is that they are always looking to open up to the outside world while enjoying the good weather that is typical of their surroundings. The goal is to bring sunshine into the rooms and to transmit joy and zest for life, the desire to do things all the time. Ideally, the atmosphere should be as relaxed as it is warm and cozy, giving us the feeling of being on holiday all the time.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Mediterranean-style rooms include direct access to their terraces through large windows that let in light and can be opened to enjoy the climate as well as the views. As if trying to include them in the interior design. The sea and nature as a backdrop.

The Mediterranean-style decoration is usually soft and relaxing, serene and full of peace, without great stridencies, like the very sea that gives it its name, with generally calm waters and no big swells. This is even more important in contemporary bathrooms, where the room has become a temple of relaxation and escape.

To achieve this effect, the Mediterranean style is usually based on white as the predominant color (an emblem of light and the sensation of space); although other shades inspired by the sand and the sea also take center stage, such as off-whites, beiges, sandy tones and, of course, blue.

The Mediterranean style sees the introduction of blue in all its variants: from the typical light blue, navy, sky blue, turquoise, and aquamarine, to other more exotic colors such as indigo, cobalt, or lapis lazuli, a ‘total trend’ in recent years.

The materials that are most common in Mediterranean-style homes are stone, cement, and concrete. You can opt for the natural material or choose ceramic, whose resistance and durability are 100% ideal for highly demanding rooms such as the bathroom.
