Considering Mediterranean design? Two ways to bring Mediterranean design into your home

The best way to approach Mediterranean design is to focus on living inside and out. The way to get there is by using natural materials and finishes, and the goal is to create a “I woke up like this” feeling, but for your home. A modern Greek country style home is entirely possible, whether your plan is to introduce a few subtle elements or if you are interested in creating a project from A to Z, this article is likely to interest you. Here are some principles of Mediterranean architecture and design.

Colors. The main colors in Mediterranean design are based on the turquoise of the sea as it shimmers in the sunlight, rich colors and browns such as beige and clay, green, yellow, silver, copper and gold.
Bring the inside out. As mentioned, the main feature of Mediterranean design is based on creating harmony between the outside and the inside. To achieve such a result, a little boldness is needed. I mean, come on, putting a sofa on the balcony can be a rather problematic procedure for people who just want to convey the feeling of the tavern breeze, so the main recommendation is to bring in all kinds of plants, furnish the balcony and maybe even a little refreshing of the curtains could be a good idea.
Wooden and rust furniture. Heavy Mediterranean-style furniture moves on a scale of formal furniture, full of small, vintage or even slightly worn details. The colors are colors like brown and earth, classic colors, all in order to create the relaxed and effortless atmosphere of Mediterranean design.
Mediterranean architecture and luxury – how?
It is not known why, but when we talk about the Mediterranean and luxury home design – the first association is ancient Greece. Greek architecture made use of stone and marble construction. Today, Mediterranean architecture and design does not focus only on issues such as choosing furniture. The Israeli target audience keeps a warm corner in their hearts for Greece, and there are those who walk among the built-up alleys, the steep stairs, sleep under the curved roof and wonder how to bring these elements to expression in the property I purchased and even in my own home. The Greeks make strong use of the ceiling, floor and walls, whether it is by applying plaster on the wall to create a more sloppy look or with colorful tiles on the floor. The recurring motif focuses on the old - new and we Israelis, when we are not flying there, we are flying on it.
