Mediterranean wooden furniture and decor
Typical Mediterranean woods include walnut, pine and, of course, olive wood. The olive tree is the symbol of the Mediterranean and links the multicultural diversity of the different countries. Mediterranean woods convey the warmth of the southern sun and give a room natural charm. Wooden furniture brings a rustic, country feel. If solid wood furniture feels too heavy for you, simply choose high-quality wooden home accessories or chopping boards.
Mediterranean colours
Mediterranean style is defined above all by warm, earthy colours and light natural tones. Azure blue underlines the closeness to the sea, while olive green represents the olive tree. The more light shades you choose, the airier and cooler the room feels. Earthy tones such as terracotta and ochre add warmth. Contrasting colours such as yellow, red, lavender and black create tension.
Diverse influences from other countries
Mediterranean style draws on a mix of influences from southern Europe, Turkey and North Africa. What unites these countries is, of course, the Mediterranean Sea. That's why azure blue is almost always part of a Mediterranean colour scheme. Choose your decorative pieces according to the country you feel most connected to.
Mediterranean flair for your terrace
Outdoor areas are particularly well suited to creating a Mediterranean atmosphere. Terracotta plant pots in unusual shapes show off ferns, palms or olive trees.
Marble for timeless elegance
This refined stone recalls Greek busts and grand palaces. It is a material that never goes out of style and, thanks to its nature, ages very well. Marble works best in individual pieces and combines well with other stone and natural textiles such as linen.
With a Mediterranean interior, you bring the south into your home – and with it the joy of warm woods, colourful home accessories and memories of the sea. Have fun transforming your home.
