What is the essence of the Mediterranean style in decoration?
In general, the Mediterranean style is a philosophy of life that gives priority to tranquility, sunshine, warmth and calm. In decorative terms, this translates into a search for harmony and luminosity in the shapes, colours and distribution of spaces.
Homes with Mediterranean decoration are designed to enhance the concept of slow life, creating harmonious places that transmit vitality, a sense of spaciousness and balance.
3 ideas to beat the heat using Mediterranean decoration
Due to the characteristics of its colour palette and the most common materials used in this style, Mediterranean decoration is a great way to freshen up the interior ambience of a home. With a few small changes to floors and walls, it is possible to make the most of its potential to create more pleasant atmospheres in the hot season, adding an exclusive touch to the rooms of the house.
- Light tones reminiscent of nature
This is not just a placebo effect. Light shades (white, blue, beige, etc.) absorb and radiate less heat while maintaining the brightness of interior spaces and giving a greater feeling of spaciousness.
- Plants that purify the environment and reduce temperatures
The connection with nature is another characteristic feature of the Mediterranean style. Whether at ground level or in trellises hanging from the walls, the use of plants such as sanseviera, ferns or ribbons will help to balance the temperature in the rooms and purify the air in the house.
- Natural fibre carpets
The Mediterranean style of decoration makes it possible to keep rugs in the house even in very hot weather. The most commonly used textiles for this type of flooring are those made of light and resistant fibres such as jute, sisal or bamboo, which do not accumulate heat.
