The Mediterranean style can be a nice combination of elegance, relaxation and organic elements. A little something as basic as having a hammock, some exotic plants, and an anchor on a wall will create that Mediterranean feel.



To recreate the Mediterranean style in your home, you will need to use a color palette that has the elements of the coast like blue for the ocean, pale yellow for sand and white for sunshine.



The Mediterranean style is showcased by the natural aspects, unlike the minimal decorating objects that are based on straight lines and precision. Even though several other styles tend to involve metals and plastics, Mediterranean takes advantage of more all natural and lighter substances like cotton and wood.



If you upgrade the floor, choose a light wooden parquet like pine. Natural stone can be likewise welcomed. But don't lay too many stones since that could impact the warm feeling you want to create. You might also have floor heating to simulate walking on warm Mediterranean sand.



The furniture you ultimately choose should be simple and fairly minimalist. Try out the same light colors and try to bring an impression of classicism to the furniture pieces. Any time you want to feel like you're at the beach, you can add decorations like scallop shells, flowers and some sand. Setting this along in the hallway is an effective way to set the ambiance for your guests. That's why it's a good idea to have some type of beach front symbol at your entrance. Using a old classic boat anchor will be a great idea. A translucent vase having some withered blooms will look great, especially if you are adding a few scallops in it.



The living room could turn into your relaxation oasis. If perhaps you have adequate space, you can make the hammock the hub of your room. You have to have strong hooks for your hammock and have palm trees to complete the effect. Add some colored stones and the picture is going to be completed. For the sofas, you must keep the same color gamma: white, blue, and yellow. Do not load the room too much, purchase a few bamboo armchairs, and try to choose only small tables. You can spotlight the gallery of shells, scallops, and stones by placing them in a transparent drawer.



For your window treatments, you can have designs with vertical blue and white stripes. The walls do not need to have any flashy designs but having some ocean view paintings will certainly add some charm and calmness to your home.



The classic wooden boat is just not something that many decorators would feature in today's designs. And yet if you have room, you may as well have it. The best ones are the substantial handmade ones.



You might have your bedroom look tropical with the help of fine white lingerie. You may also position a bowl of sand and scented flowers next to your bedside too. Even when you don't use it, you can have a bamboo screen for an added effect.
