The keys to Mediterranean style

Mediterranean style evokes the warmth and serenity of the southern European coastline. This timeless aesthetic combines functionality with rustic, natural beauty. Below, we break down the main keys that define this decorative style.

• Warm, natural colours: earth tones, sea blues, white and beige predominate.

• Natural materials: predominant use of wood, stone, ceramics and natural fibres.

• Abundant natural light: large windows and open spaces to maximise the entry of light.

• Rustic textures: walls with textured finishes, terracotta or natural stone floors.

• Wooden furniture: robust and functional pieces, often with a handcrafted touch.

• Integrated outdoor spaces: terraces and patios that merge with the interior.

• Natural fabrics: use of linen, cotton and other fibres in neutral tones or with typical prints.

How to decorate your home in Mediterranean style

Decorating a home in Mediterranean style involves taking care of every detail to achieve a harmonious and welcoming atmosphere. Below, we will explore how to apply this style in different areas of your home.

Mediterranean style lounges

Mediterranean-style lounges are cosy spaces that invite relaxation. The layout is open and fluid, with comfortable and functional furniture arranged to encourage conviviality. To achieve the authentic Mediterranean look in your living room, you can opt for tiles from the Moon Collection. These tiles capture the texture and colour of natural stone and bring a rustic and elegant touch to the space.

The kitchen, the heart of the home

In the Mediterranean style, the kitchen becomes the true centre of the home, a space not only for cooking but also for sharing, conversing and enjoying with the family. Mediterranean kitchens tend to be spacious and bright, with an aesthetic that combines functionality and warmth. To capture this essence, consider using tiles from our wood-effect Branch Collection.

Patios, terraces and other outdoor spaces

Outdoor spaces are fundamental to the Mediterranean style, functioning as a natural extension of the interior. Shady patios, sunny terraces and rustic facades are typical elements that capture the essence of Mediterranean outdoor living. For these spaces, terracotta-effect tiles are a perfect choice. The Terracotta Collection offers the rustic and warm look of traditional terracotta, ideal for terrace flooring or as façade cladding.

Bathrooms with a Mediterranean essence

Mediterranean-style bathrooms evoke the serenity of a seaside spa. To achieve this atmosphere, opt for soft tones, such as the blues of the Mud Collection or the beige of the Cotto Collection, and combine different patterns and formats. You can also use large-format tiles on the walls and non-slip tiles on the floor. This combination not only reinforces the Mediterranean character, but also offers great practicality.

Mediterranean-inspired tiles for a total look

Tiles play a crucial role in creating an authentic Mediterranean ambience. Beyond their functionality, these decorative elements help to define and round off the style, bringing texture, colour and character to each space. The versatility of tiles makes it possible to create continuity between different areas of the home and unify the Mediterranean aesthetic.

The charm of terracotta

Terracotta is an emblematic material of the Mediterranean style, bringing warmth and a rustic touch to any space. Terracotta effect tiles perfectly capture this essence.

These tiles not only replicate the look of traditional terracotta, but also offer the advantages of modern porcelain tiles: greater resistance, less maintenance and a wide variety of formats. They are ideal for both indoor and outdoor flooring.

Natural textures: porcelain stone or wood design

Natural textures are fundamental in the Mediterranean style. Stone-effect tiles bring the robustness and character of natural stone, ideal for floors and walls both indoors and outdoors. These pieces can be used to create rustic accents or as a neutral base for your Mediterranean décor.

On the other hand, wood effect tiles offer the warmth and texture of wood with the durability of porcelain. They are perfect for adding that cosy touch characteristic of Mediterranean homes, especially in areas such as kitchens or terraces where natural wood might not be practical.

A splash of colour: hydraulic and terrazzo look porcelain tiles

To add a splash of colour and pattern to the Mediterranean style, terrazzo and hydraulic effect tiles are an excellent choice. Hydraulic tiles allow you to incorporate traditional patterns. These tiles are ideal for creating focal points on floors or walls, as they add personality and colour.

Terrazzo porcelain tiles offer a more subtle but equally effective option for adding texture and colour. They are perfect for those who are looking for a more discreet décor, but still want to incorporate an element of visual interest.

Textile and metal, from decoration to coverings

Textiles and wrought iron are predominant decorative elements in the Mediterranean style, and thanks to the versatility of porcelain tiles, these textures can also be incorporated as coverings. Textile effect tiles bring a visual and tactile softness to surfaces, ideal for creating cosy atmospheres.

On the other hand, metallic effect tiles allow the look of wrought iron to be incorporated into larger surfaces. They capture the nuances and texture of metal, ideal for adding modern accents within a traditional Mediterranean style, providing a subtle but significant contrast to the more rustic elements.

Mediterranean style is a celebration of relaxed living, nature and simple beauty. With the wide range of tiles, you can create an authentic Mediterranean ambience in your home, combining traditional aesthetics with modern functionality. Whether you are renovating a specific space or redecorating your entire home, these tiles will help you achieve that coveted Mediterranean look.
