The interior presented is an excellent example of Mediterranean style with rustic elements, where natural materials, a light palette, and authentic details are organically combined. The architectural dominant of the space is an impressive arched structure with exposed brick, framing blue door portals that lead to the garden. This arched facade detail not only creates a visual connection between interior and exterior but also brings characteristic Mediterranean charm.
The ceiling with exposed beams painted white gives the room volume and emphasizes its height, reflecting traditional techniques of Southern European architecture. Cream-colored walls create a soft background, allowing textural elements to come to the foreground. The industrial metal pendant light adds an interesting contrast to the more rustic elements of the interior.
The furnishings feature authentic pieces: a massive wooden cabinet with glass doors displaying a natural patina of time, a metal folding table with a round top and elegant legs, and mixed chairs – a woven bistro-style seat and a folding metal chair with a textile cushion. Such selection of furniture creates a relaxed, lived-in atmosphere, avoiding excessive formality.
An important design element is the abundance of live plants – from the impressive palm tree beyond the doors to fresh floral arrangements inside, which enhances the connection with the natural surroundings. The stone floor with large tiles completes the composition, adding coolness and practicality so valued in Mediterranean climates.
When designing your own home in a similar style, attention should be paid to creating smooth transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces, using natural materials with characteristic textures, and thoughtfully combining antique and modern interior items to achieve effortless elegance.
