Stuccoed walls, arched entryways, and mosaic backsplashes are just a few of the features that we love in a Mediterranean home. This timeless and classic style has been around for centuries, but has recently made a comeback with a contemporary twist, creating what we now know as “Modern Mediterranean”. Characterized by its bright and airy, yet comforting atmosphere this design takes our mind to a relaxing, faraway land somewhere on the coast of Greece.
So, what do consumers do when they want to recreate this dreamy look in their own home, but don’t have the time (or budget!) to do a complete remodel? They go shopping, of course! That’s where you, as a vendor, can help! Here are 4 key elements of the Modern Mediterranean design trend that you can incorporate into your space to attract shoppers who are looking to revamp their homes!
Color Palette
Inspired by the landscapes of the Mediterranean, these soft, earthy tones will help keep the space bright and warm.
Natural Materials
Natural, sustainable materials are a hallmark of the Modern Mediterranean trend. Look for items such as stone, terracotta, clay, raw wood, olive trees, and foliage.
Textiles
Wicker baskets, linen furniture, and woven pillows or blankets are just a few examples of how you can add different textures to give the space dimension while still maintaining the bright aesthetic.
Arches
Arches and curves are defining features of Mediterranean architecture. A great way to incorporate this element is by adding curved pieces like wall decor, mirrors, or even shelving! Don’t be scared to get creative!
