SynopsisMediterranean Design reveals the vibrant color, outdoor-living emphasis, and diverse cultural influences that have created this unique style. Defined by an eclectic mix of natural elements: sunlight bouncing across textured walls, rooms arranged around porch-lined courtyards, terra-cotta tile roofs covering wood-beam ceilings, arched passages and porticos, vibrantly colored interiors, and courtyards and fountains that take advantage of the temperate climate. Mediterranean Design brings home the romantic and worldly appeal of a style that finds its heritage in the diverse lands of Morocco, Spain, Greece, Turkey, France, and Croatia. Mediterranean Design highlights the unique aspects of the style, such as Spatial orientation of the rooms is defining and private Vestibules and porches rather than hallways connecting functional spaces Bedrooms as suites rather than lonely rooms Bathrooms as spas rather than generic or merely functional rooms Details such as arches, pillars, high ceilings, fountains, gardens, pergolas, lime-washed walls, stone faades, friezes, warm colors, balconies, iron gates, and garden walls Locations of these magnificent homes include: California, Florida, Texas, Turkey, Morocco, Paris, Mexico, and more!, Mediterranean Design reveals the vibrant color, outdoor-living emphasis, and diverse cultural influences that have created this unique style.
