LIVING AREA WITH KITCHENET DESIGN

Combining Mediterranean and modern interior design creates a space that’s both timeless and fresh.

Description

  • Color Palette: Embrace warm, earthy tones inspired by the Mediterranean landscape. Think terracotta, ochre, olive green, and sea blues. Use white as a base to create a sense of light and airiness.
  • Natural Materials: Incorporate natural materials like terracotta tiles, stone floors, exposed wood beams, and woven elements (rugs, baskets) for a touch of rustic charm.
  • Arches and Curves: Mediterranean architecture often features arches and curved doorways. Consider incorporating these elements subtly in doorways, walkways, or furniture silhouettes for a touch of tradition.

Challenge

  • Balance between warmth and sleekness: Mediterranean style leans towards warmth and texture, while modern design emphasizes clean lines and minimalism. Finding a balance between these two aesthetics can be tricky.
  • Color palette clash: Traditional Mediterranean colors are often earthy and vibrant, while modern spaces tend towards neutrals and pops of color. Merging these palettes requires a curated approach.
  • Material fusion: Mediterranean design embraces natural materials like terracotta and wrought iron, while modern spaces favor sleek metals and glass. Combining these textures requires careful selection and placement.

Solution

Don’t overwhelm your space with either style. Use a mix of elements that complement each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere that feels both inviting and stylish.
