In today’s article I will talk about a very summery and colorful topic that refers to the interiors of modern Mediterranean-style houses. These interiors have a series of particular characteristics that make them belong to this specific style and these characteristics concern both the interior decoration, as well as the architectural and construction elements. Let’s see what its characteristics are.
Mediterranean style modern house interiors
Before going into details, we have to mention and bear in mind that this style covers and develops in almost all the areas that the Mediterranean Sea occupies: Italy, Greece and southern Spain. This fact may suggest that, despite being the same style, in each region there may be differences in terms of some of the interior decorative elements.
In order to recreate this style in our interiors we have to know what is intended with it. In the first place, its main purpose is to fill the interiors with light and sun, therefore, we must make sure that we have everything necessary to achieve it. There are two basic elements that will help us and facilitate the task: windows and colors.
Probably, all of you know that large windows will offer you a greater entrance of light, while small windows will create holes that will be an obstacle for the sun’s rays. Apart from these components, below, we will see more architectural elements characteristic of this style.

In this section we will pay attention to the walls and ceilings and we will talk about the decorative details that appear in these areas. First of all, the ornaments of the ceilings are the wooden beams that also appear so much in the rural style of the interior. However, this element does not have to hide or disguise it, but they have to highlight it.
On the other hand, modern ceiling decoration can be reinforced with wrought iron. For that, they can include in the decoration some types of lamps made of this material that will help them complete the decoration.
On the other hand, on the walls they can add some wooden details such as decorative frames or paintings. In addition, on many occasions the walls also have texture and the most used is that of the stucco style. At the same time, this is a way to get closer to the rustic style and to combine both styles.

One of the most important decorative elements in Mediterranean-style home interiors is color. The predominant tone in the interior and exterior walls is white, since it is the most suitable for increasing the interior lighting and, at the same time, it is the color that allows an infinite combination with the other tones.
On the other hand, the white color in the interiors tends to alternate and combine with aquamarine, olive green and ocher tones. These light and soft tones can serve as substitutes for the white tone. In addition, to highlight or highlight certain parts of the interior and to promote the decoration of modern houses, they can also add some intense tones. In this way, they will create the decorative accents.
At the same time, the decoration of the walls is sometimes simple and may not even appear. In these cases they can bet on the pictures to decorate them or they can also bet on the Masaics.

The most typical of the decoration of the floors in this style are the rustic elements of wood and terracotta in soft pastel tones. In contrast to the floor we find a ceiling decorated with beams and wrought iron that, in addition, appears throughout the house both inside and outside.
In addition, the most used materials in the interior are precisely wrought iron and wood. With them they can create impressive mixes that will give a very summery and cheerful touch to the interior. At the same time, in home decorations, wrought iron can be used not only to decorate ceilings, but also as a decorative element on mirrors and frames.
Do not forget that its use outdoors is also important, as is the presence of plants. When we talk about exteriors, the most characteristic of the Mediterranean style is the patio, the balconies and the terraces full of plants. They have to take into account that these can also be included in the interiors to decorate them.

As I have mentioned before, large windows are very important since it is the easiest way to guarantee a greater entrance of light. The shape of these elements tends to have an arc shape, especially when it comes to the doors that lead to the patio or garden. They have to bear in mind that this shape reminds us of the Arabic style in construction and that it is widely used in the mentioned regions.
On the other hand, when the house is not large enough to allow us to include these constructive and decorative details, they can choose traditional windows and decorate them with curtains. Do not forget that the predominant shades of the curtains should be light with some more intense color designs.
In addition, indoors they can also place larger plants and decorative trees. In this way, the green color of the plantation will stand out against the white background of the walls and the rest of the interior.
