Inspire yourself to recreate the easy, relaxed atmosphere in your own home.
Greek interior designs are actually very easy to achieve and a very comfortable look to live with.
The style is very simple and minimalist, it’s rustic and it’s all represented on the walls, which are always white.
Your bedroom should always be simple, not much decorations.
For the pops of color, use mediterranean blue, turquoise, or yellow.
**DO paint woodwork in a different color, if not varnish, wax or stain them. -Hardwood flooring on Terracotta tiles are always better to represent Greece floors, BUT also a stone floor will work as well.
**Wall hangings: Choose thick, textile, woven wall-hangings, in deep rich colors in geometric shapes. They will make an interesting room, with texture and color
**You don’t need very much furniture for authentic Greek interiors, just keep it all very simple. But if you do, use quality wood furniture.
**Choose low-level furniture – benches, floor cushions and coffee tables – for a very relaxing, easy-to-live-with style
**ACCESSORIES: Choose bare windows, or very simple window treatments, such as wooden shutters, paint them blue for a very authentic Greek interior design look.
**Add plenty of rustic pottery, to get a really authentic Greek interior design look. Go for natural clay, or pretty, brightly colored, painted glazes and patterns.
**if you’re living in a cool place, it’s ok, you can still have you greek-like home interior. Just add more cushions, more throws, wall hangings, pillows, curtains, rugs, more texture, and change colors to warmer ones like yellow and terracotta instead of blue. Exclude the stone floor and use the warm wood of terracotta… In this way you can bring the sunshine of Greece to your home 🙂
