Mediterranean

Mediterranean design is warm, tactile, and sun-washed: plaster, arches, terracotta, zellige, travertine, olive trees, cobalt accents, and shaded outdoor rooms. These guides cover both interiors and patios, because the style often works best when indoor and outdoor spaces speak the same language. Use a real room or patio photo to preview the look before committing to tile, stone, paint, plants, or furniture.
