Mediterranean interior design is a category of coastal style that is inspired by the culture and natural landscape of the Mediterranean region. It is characterized by the use of natural materials such as wicker and stone, vibrant pops of color, white or beige walls, arches, and stunning patterns. Differing from the classic coastal style, this style can be more rustic and have more eclectic and global elements.
Associated with Hudson Valley Lighting Group, Corbett’s “Star of the East” chandelier is a perfect example of incorporating culture into design. This fixture is modeled after the Moravian Star or the “star of Bethlehem.” The “Old World Brass” finish of the fixture has varying sized stars perforating it, letting the light gleam through. Sure to add plenty of character to any space, it is definitely a conversation piece. This chandelier comes in a family that includes a smaller chandelier, a sconce, and a pendant.
Pictured just behind the “Star of the East” is Loloi’s AF-12 from the “Anastasia” collection. The intricate ornate pattern and vivid splashes of color give this rug undeniable Mediterranean charm. Power loomed in Egypt, this rug is made up of 55% polyester and 45% polypropylene, making it durable and especially easy to clean. “Anastasia” is available in several sizes including rounds and runners, sure to fit perfectly in any space.
This next product is a master of illusion. York’s “Mediterranean Tile” peel and stick wallpaper gives the appearance of worn and chipped patterned tile without the price point of an actual tile. This wallpaper is significantly more budget-friendly, easy to install, and a less permanent solution than tile. It is washable, removable, and repositionable for even the trickiest applications. An effortless way to add personality and a sense of depth to your space, the vibrant blue florets and meticulously placed chips and crevices transport you to the seaside.
Not your typical coastal design, this style is for the bold and creative. Merging striking patterns and intriguing textures to create a connection from land and sea is what makes Mediterranean style so distinctly charming.
