How to Get the Mediterranean Kitchen Look
Plaster, warm stone, aged wood, ceramics and simple architectural detail build the sun-washed look at home.
The Mediterranean kitchen is a materials story more than a colour scheme. Almost every surface is something quarried, fired or grown.
Start with the walls
Limewash or plaster creates soft movement that flat paint cannot imitate.
Use stone generously
A thick stone counter or a solid sink instantly changes the weight of a room.
Age the wood
Reclaimed shelving and exposed beams supply the sense of time the look depends on.
Collect ceramics slowly
Terracotta, glazed jugs and mismatched bowls belong on display, not in cupboards.
Keep the light warm
Shutters, unlined curtains and warm bulbs preserve the sun-washed quality after dark.
