Selecting Accessories for the Mediterranean Kitchen and Bath
Mediterranean decorating colors are warm, yellow-based colors. Consider colors that are nature inspired. When decorating a Mediterranean style bathroom, think ripe, golden pears, a clear turquoise lake, rusty orange terra cotta earthenware, luscious green olives, vivid peachy sunsets or the rich burgundy of aged wine. All these earth tone shades are possibilities for Mediterranean kitchen and bath colors.
Yellow and orange are important colors to consider when creating a Mediterranean style home. Yellow is subdued and found in shades of gold as seen in golden olive oil and creamy stucco walls in ancient buildings. Shades of gold are Mediterranean neutrals found on floors and walls as well as in cabinetry and furniture.
The orange in Mediterranean design is burnt terra cotta orange or even darker. Rusty burnt orange is used on walls and floors. Darkest shades of orange are found in scrolled ironwork, dark cabinetry, granite countertops, ceramic tiles and furniture. When decorating Mediterranean, consider wrought iron accessories in your decorating theme.
