Sun-baked plaster, terracotta and arches.

Mediterranean

Mediterranean style comes from Spain, Italy and Greece: white or warm plaster walls, terracotta floors, arches, wrought iron, dark wood and blue or green tile. It is warm and relaxed, built for heat and light. It suits kitchens, bathrooms and rooms with good sun.

Try first

Cheapest first. Each is something you could do this weekend, or say to Room AI now.

1 Give the walls a limewash or plaster-effect finish in warm white; flat paint can't do it.
2 Add terracotta somewhere: pots, a tiled floor in a small room, a few tiles behind the hob.
3 Use patterned tile in one place, a backsplash, a stair riser, a bathroom floor.
4 Swap one piece for dark wood with some weight, a table or a chest.
