If you often long for sun, sea, sand and warmth, the Mediterranean way of life may be perfect for you. To design your balcony or terrace in Mediterranean style, start with the following tips.
Mediterranean-inspired decor for balconies and terraces
Natural materials and warm colors are typical of Mediterranean style. Because wood was scarce in many Mediterranean regions, it was used sparingly in the past. Wrought-metal furniture is therefore a good choice for the balcony or terrace. Choose beautiful metal patio chairs and compact flower shelves. If you prefer wooden furniture, make sure it does not look too heavy.
Create an oasis on the balcony and terrace
For a Mediterranean design on the balcony and terrace, combine metal furniture with patterned fabrics. Use decorations carefully: a few metal lamps, lanterns, candles or potted plants in terracotta containers can bring in the right Mediterranean flair.
Bring a Mediterranean touch to the garden
The lightness and joy of the South should also guide the design. Terracotta tiles or rustic-look wood can recall a southern home. Paint exterior walls white or pale yellow, and choose stoneware finishes for a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Lighting that gives off warmth and southern character is the perfect finishing accent. A Mediterranean balcony and terrace feel closely connected to the home and to nature. Fragrant flowers and herbs such as rosemary, lavender and thyme make the outdoor area feel inviting.
