Mediterranean Style: How to Bring the Sea into Your Home

At Med Interiorismo, located in the heart of Marbella, we invite you to discover the timeless beauty of Mediterranean style—a trend that is not only fashionable, but also expresses a way of life that is relaxed, natural, and full of light. If you’re dreaming of a home that feels like summer, sea, and serenity, this is your perfect inspiration.

What is Mediterranean Style?

Mediterranean interior design draws from the aesthetics of homes along the Mediterranean coast: Greece, southern Italy, southern France, and, of course, Spain. It is known for being fresh, bright, and natural, always aiming to connect the indoors with the outdoors.

This style encourages us to slow down, unwind, and enjoy simple pleasures, creating cosy and inviting spaces filled with natural light.

Natural Materials: The Foundation of the Style

A defining feature of the Mediterranean look is the use of organic and earthy materials that connect us with both land and sea:

• Light wood: preferably untreated or whitewashed. Ideal for floors, furniture, and exposed beams.

• Linen and cotton: soft, breathable fabrics perfect for curtains, cushions, upholstery, and bedding.

• Handmade ceramics: bowls, vases or tiles with textured, imperfect finishes add rustic charm.

• Natural fibres: such as rattan, jute and rope, used in lampshades, rugs, baskets, and chairs.

A Colour Palette Inspired by the Sea and Sand

The Mediterranean colour palette takes its cues from nature: sky, sea, stone and sun-bleached walls.

• White: the main colour, bringing brightness, space, and clarity.

• Blues: from sky blue to deep navy, they evoke the ocean and horizon.

• Earth tones: such as beige, sand, and terracotta provide warmth and balance.

• Green touches: through plants or small accessories, add freshness and life.

Combining these tones creates a harmonious and refreshing atmosphere throughout the home.

Simple, Characterful Decoration

Warm minimalism is key to this look. It’s not about filling a space, but about choosing with intention. Try:

• Open, airy spaces with minimal clutter.

• Handcrafted decorative pieces: candle holders, ceramic bowls, local artwork.

• Natural plants: olive trees, lavender, rosemary or cacti.

• Soft lighting: maximise natural light by day, and use warm, ambient lamps with linen or rattan shades in the evening.
