See Purchase Information Wall Art SELECTING TUSCAN DECORATING COLORS
Create visual depth with heavily textured walls and rich Mediterranean color. Yellow and orange are important colors to consider when creating a Tuscan interior design. 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 are found in scrolled ironwork, dark cabinetry and furniture.

For accent colors, warm tomato red, cobalt blue, olive green and golden sunflower yellow are often found in ceramic art throughout southern Europe.




Choosing accent colors for a Tuscan decor home? How about red?

Shades of red are dramatic in Tuscan interior design. Burnt orange and copper are shades of red found in dark wood, granite countertops, cast and wrought iron, copper cookware, copper tone planters and Mediterranean style pot racks. Red food canisters, decorative red pottery and art work with predominant red tones set the stage for dramatic decorating in the Tuscan home.

Decorative Iron Wall Decor
Decorating Above Kitchen Cabinets
TUSCAN KITCHEN DECORATING IDEAS
Tuscan kitchens often display large dinnerware serving accessories and brightly colored kitchen canisters that are as beautiful as they are useful. Tuscan kitchen colors are drawn from natural materials. Brown and orange tones have a connection with earth, reds and greens with vegetation - ivory, yellow and tan with stone and blues have a connection with sky and water. A hallmark of Tuscan kitchen design is color connection with nature.

In your Tuscan kitchen, group large urns, pots, bowls and plates, some reclining and some standing, with similar type objects on a an open shelf or above kitchen cabinets. Consider a wrought iron backdrop, small framed artwork, old copper cooking utensils and decorative floral, fruits and greenery in your above cabinet displays.


TUSCAN THEME WALL DECOR
Decorating Large Wall Space with Iron, Tapestry and Artwork

Accents of Salado specializes in large old world Tuscan and French Country wall tapestry and wide-framed artwork that is a fashionable design solution for immense wall space and high ceilings.  Wall tapestry brings color, softness and dramatic Mediterranean design to large walls in foyer, dining, and bedroom spaces.

Mediterranean Style Artwork
DECORATING WITH MIRRORS
Mirrors are one of the designer's most useful tools. Mirrors increase light in a room by multiplying and distributing the light from existing windows. A well-placed mirror can open up a room, alter a view, or reflect a little personality.

Placement of a mirror across from windows floods the room with nature's light.


     

One of the best ways to enhance your decorating theme, and at the same time maximize light and space, is with mirrors. Make your home brilliant and bright by adding some reflective surfaces.

Style and Luxury in the Master Suite

Wood, iron, ceramic tile and natural stones like granite, slate and marble are construction materials that add authenticity to the traditional bath's heirloom style. Whether decoarating French country, Tuscan or Spanish colonial, a sophisticated color pallette of gold and shades of brown allows accessories to take the lead in the introduction of color.
