To create a kitchen with a Mediterranean look, consider the following ideas:
1. Color scheme: The Mediterranean style is characterized by warm, earthy colors such as terracotta, cream, gold, and olive green. Consider painting your walls in one of these colors or adding elements such as tiles in these colors.
2. Tiles: Use decorative tiles for your kitchen backsplash or flooring. Terracotta tiles, mosaic tiles, and patterned tiles are all commonly used in Mediterranean-style kitchens.
3. Wood: Use natural wood for your cabinetry, flooring, and ceiling beams. Knotty pine and oak are both popular choices for Mediterranean-style kitchens.
4. Textures: Incorporate textures such as rough stucco walls, wrought-iron fixtures, and stone countertops to create a rustic, Mediterranean feel.
5. Lighting: Use pendant lights or wrought-iron chandeliers for overhead lighting. Consider adding under-cabinet lighting to highlight decorative tiles or other features.
6. Accessories: Use accessories such as ceramic jars, colorful pottery, and woven baskets to add to the Mediterranean look. Display decorative plates on open shelving to showcase your collection.
7. Plants: Mediterranean-style kitchens often feature potted herbs and plants, such as basil, lavender, and rosemary, to add a fresh and natural touch.
