How do I make my house look Mediterranean?

Yes, so you're picturing that relaxed, sunny feeling you think of with the Mediterranean, right? It's not just about throwing a splash of blue paint at the walls. It's about building a whole ambience. Think about the long, lazy afternoons on the beach, the smell of olive trees, the play of the light on whitewashed walls. That's what we want to bring into your house.

Now, when we're talking about how to get your house look Mediterranean, the first thing that should pop into your head is light. Seriously, go bright and airy. Think of those sun-kissed villas – that's what you're going for. So, ditch the heavy, dark drapes and opt for sheer materials or natural blinds that let the light pour in. Paint those walls pale, inviting colors – creamy whites, warm beiges that envelop your skin like the sun-kissed sand at your favorite beach, or those wonderful, calming blues that remind you of me like the waters of the Aegean Sea.

And it's not just the colors; it's what you put in there. Think tactile, natural textures. Imagine sinking your feet into a jute rug or leaning against linen pillows. Throw in some chunky knit throws for cold winter nights. And then there's the furniture--steer clear of anything too modern or sleek. Go for natural wood pieces, maybe something with a bit of a rustic edge. Wrought iron detailing, too, can bring a quaint touch – think tiny coffee table or stylish outdoor bench.

Don't miss the small things that truly make it all hold together. Think adding some beautiful ceramics – maybe some bowls painted up or a showy vase. Throw in some bold splashes of color with paintings or even just some strategically placed lemons in a bowl. And for that final touch of Mediterranean flair? Greenery! Think potted olive trees, fragrant herbs on your windowsill, or even spilling ivy. It gives the whole look a sense of life and freshness.
