We may not always be lucky
enough to have the weather
to match, but it’s easy to
create that laid-back vibe of
a sunshine getaway in your
own home. You’re looking to
create an undone, eclectic
scheme with rustic charm
that is filled with colour and
warmth. A white backdrop is a
key feature in Mediterranean
schemes but without the
warmth of the sun it can
look cold and stark. Avoid
this by choosing a shade of
white on the warmer end of
the spectrum and add in plenty of colour from warm terracotta
and plaster pink alongside rich sea blues and lush greens. Take
inspiration from the sights you might take in abroad – nautical
settings, decorative tiles, hot pink and purple bougainvillea, and
use materials such as patterned ceramics, bare wood and natural
Feature textiles to build upon your own exotic escape.
