Redecorate Your House Mediterranean Style!

By Fredrick Schemm


The Mediterranean design is the optimal blend between natural elements, elegance, and relaxation. A little something as basic as having a hammock, some exotic plants, and an anchor on a wall will create that Mediterranean feel.

The color pallet that is specific to this design tries to recreate the elements of the marine sightseeing: the blue of the sea, the pale yellow of the sand and the white for the solar shine has to be the main colors if you are looking for this kind of characteristic in your home.

Mediterranean style is based on numerous components of nature versus others based on industrial design. The components should be natural and light: cotton for textiles, wood for the furniture.

For the floor, it is possible to decide on wooden parquet made of pine, since it has a lighter color. Natural stone can be also acceptable. Then again, don't over do it since it could make your home feel a bit cold. If you also opt for floor heating, you will feel like going for walks in the hot Mediterranean sand.

The type of furniture you use will need to be basic in design. Try out the same light colors and try to create an impression of classicism to the furniture pieces. Any time you want to feel like you might be at the seashore, you can add accessories like scallop shells, flowers and some sand. Using this in your hallway is great way to introduce visitors to your Mediterranean hideout. That is why we suggest that you have some kind of seaside symbol at your entrance. Using a old classic boat anchor would be a great idea. A clear vase with some withered flowers will look great, especially if you are adding a handful of scallops in it.

You could potentially set up your living to be your leisure oasis. If perhaps your room is big enough, you can have the hammock as the center point of your "oasis." Make use of strong hooks to fix it in the wall, and you can also add a palm tree to complete the atmosphere. Add some tinted stones and the picture will be completed. For the couch, you've got to keep the same standard colors of white, yellow and blue. You shouldn't fill your room with too many things, just have some bamboo tables and also armchairs. You can highlight the assortment of shells, scallops, and stones by setting them in a transparent drawer.

For your window treatments, it's possible to have styles with vertical blue and white stripes. The wall space can continue to be simple, however a sand painting or a marine inspired drawing could complete this captivating and relaxing atmosphere.

Not a lot of interior designers will choose the wooden boat since it is a bit pass. However , if you have room, you should have it. You will want highly intricate handmade boat.

It's possible to have your bedroom look alluring with fine white lingerie. For extra exotica, you can have a bowl of scented flowers and sand on your bed stand. It's also possible to place a bamboo screen for that great effect, even if you don't find it useful.
