In terms of popularity, the Mediterranean design is trendy worldwide because of its widely appreciated style.

This idea guide is here to give you some tips on how to decorate your home in Mediterranean style. 

Let's browse through these tips and be inspired to travel with interior design. We hope you will find some helpful ideas here. 

Neutral colors on the walls and roof

Neutral colors on the walls and roof are a signature trademark of Mediterranean style houses. Use earthy colours such as different hues of browns or terracotta colors, and avoid intense, bright colors or cool colors such as green and blue. A rough brick wall like the one pictured here suits the Mediterranean look more compared to a polished, glossy finish. Last but not least, the color of the roof should not be too contrasting to the color of the walls. 

Wood and wrought iron furniture

Wood and wrought iron furniture is typical of the Mediterranean style. Although it looks more like garden furniture, it is trendy and stylish when used inside the house as well. Pictured here, we see the wooden table top replaced with Mediterranean style tiles. If you're looking for more color and pattern, then this option might be better than using a wooden table top. 

Paintings or pictures of the sea

As we mentioned earlier, the Mediterranean design is reminiscent of the coast. So, a house decorated in Mediterranean style would not be complete without paintings or pictures of the sea. This beautiful piece of artwork pictured here seems to be a mixture of both a picture and a painting, which gives it an interesting effect. The waves in the sea are realistic with the sun rays shining a light on them, while an abstract red sunset creates a contrast with the dark blue sea. 

Decorative elements made of natural materials

Decorative elements made of natural materials such as this decorative lamp pictured here is one way of decorating the house according to a Mediterranean theme. Although this decorative lamp has a Balinese touch to it which is very tropical, it suits the Mediterranean style as well.This beautiful lamp is made out of a palm tree and is available from Bamboe design, based in Ravenstein, Netherlands. 

Mediterranean style tiles

Mediterranean style tiles often have patterns like the tile pictured here and are colored in terracotta colors. You can add the tiles to any space you like, whether it's the kitchen wall or bathroom floor. A patchwork of different Mediterranean style tiles would also be interesting. A mosaic table top of tiles is another option and possibly an interesting DIY project.
