Tuscan interiors are known to be relaxing, warming spaces that encourage easy living.

Their style emulates the feeling of much-loved summer holiday destinations. They feel effortlessly put together; laid-back, but intentional. Mediterranean design works well in spaces where calm and quiet is encouraged and needed. We love how it looks in bedrooms, as well as smaller spaces. Fall in love with Tuscan interiors and find out how you can recreate the look below.

Introduce Natural Textures Throughout

Blur the distinction between your indoor and your outdoor spaces.

Mediterranean interiors all encourage a rustic, imperfect feel. This comes from the use of natural materials and textures. Exposed brick, weathered wood, and tile work are present throughout. These design elements contribute to the theme. Make a feature of exposed wooden beams if you are lucky enough to have these in your home. Pair these with laid-back textiles and patterns. Think weaves, sheer fabrics, and gentle cotton designs. Use for curtains, cushions, and other soft furnishings such as upholstery. Finally, add in rattan and wicker, as well as foliage such as olive trees and cacti.

Choose Gentle, Relaxing Patterns

Use patterned fabrics sparingly, in order to maintain calm.

Small-scale prints are still having their moment and are perfect for laid-back spaces. They are just as impactful on scatter cushions as they are on upholstery, too. Stripes will always be one of our favourite versatile patterns. Most importantly, though, they capture the effortlessly luxurious feel of Mediterranean interiors. Introduce stripes through larger areas such as headboards for subtle interest and maximum comfort. Combine designs of varying weights. A larger block stripe would pair well with a more subtle herringbone stripe.

Use Colours Inspired by Nature

When forming your colour palette, look to Mediterranean landscapes for inspiration.

Palettes used in Mediterranean spaces are characterised by their calming, earthy qualities. Colour is used in a delicate manner and is often limited to two or three options. Use varying shades of the same colourway when looking to add interest to an area. Olive greens, fig purples and earthy yellow all capture the essence of Tuscan living. Pair these with more muted earth tones for restorative calm.

Make a Feature Out of Tile work

Tile work with intricate detailing is a signature of Tuscan interior design.

These can feature anywhere in the home. Adorn a fireplace with them and create a focal point, or use for an eye-catching backsplash in the kitchen. Tiles are also a great way to incorporate additional pattern into a space. Make sure it flows, though, by using colourways featured in your fabrics. Complement patterned tiles with simpler designs elsewhere in the room. A striped curtain pairs well with an intricate, more conversational pattern for example. Alternatively, a sofa upholstered in a small-scale design works well.
