Warm Up Sales With the Mediterranean Look
It’s a calming, luxurious aesthetic that’s inspiring interior design and can be leveraged for upcoming branded merchandise campaigns.
Soft sand, blue waters, bright sunshine, swaying palms, earthy tones – there’s a reason the Mediterranean aesthetic has become so popular in design in this fast-paced, stressed-out world.
“Calling to a faraway place of open spaces with a fluid indoor/outdoor lifestyle, Mediterranean decor has a gorgeous way of bringing what many associate with a vacation into your everyday life,” Megan Hersch, co-founder and chief operating officer of interior design firm roomLift, told furniture review site Living Cozy.
It’s a simple and calming look that also evokes luxury and high perceived value. “Mediterranean decor should be light and casual, sun-drenched and fresh,” Mark Williams and Niki Papadopoulos of Mark Williams Design told Living Cozy. “When you think of coastal villages in Spain, France, Italy and Northern Africa, you think of white stucco, the azure of the sea, terra cotta and richly hued glazed ceramics. Mediterranean décor should never be heavy or fussy, and it should always feel like a breath of fresh air.”
