Living Rooms
Finishing Touches: Color and Pattern Mediterranean-style spaces often have a simple backdrop of white walls and wood floors, which makes the finishing touches you choose to complete the look all the more important. Look for textiles to layer, inlaid and tile-inspired designs and handmade or antique accent pieces. Accessories for Mediterranean spaces: Moroccan-style or inlaid-bone mirrors Layered rugs in rich hues Pillows covered in lush textiles such as damask, brocade, silk and velvet Rich leather accent chairs Handmade or antique decorative objects in ceramic, wood or metal filigree Fresh green plants in colorful ceramic or terra-cotta pots
Key Element: Heirloom-Quality Classics Furnishings and accessories in Mediterranean-style spaces are big, sturdy and built to last. Classic pieces are favored over passing trends, with natural materials like carved wood, wrought iron and leather taking a starring role. Upholstery tends to be richly textured and solid in color, with patterns coming into play in accent pieces, pillows and rugs. I think my couches work!
"My favorite aspect of Spanish-style homes is the ability to mix several different styles of furniture. Because the architecture is somewhat organic and nonfussy, it can feature an assortment of eclectic furnishings, including Indian, Moroccan, African and Syrian pieces. Here is your chance to really mix things up."
