Imagine the wonderful warmth and laidback luxury of a Mediterranean villa, where white-washed walls create a beautiful backdrop for simple, yet elegant rustic furniture and stunning, natural fabrics in a myriad of sun-drenched shades. Infuse the essence of Mediterranean interior design into your bedroom décor, flooding the space with a breathtaking harmony of light, colour and texture to evoke the exquisitely relaxed feeling that follows a day of luxuriating in the golden glow of the sun.
Discover our guidance on how to emulate this calm and inviting ambience in your own home, exploring our expertly curated collection of Mediterranean-inspired furniture and bedroom accessories. Prepare to embrace a slower pace of life, allowing yourself to sink into the soothing serenity of your bedroom sanctuary, where every evening feels like an escape to the tranquil shores of the beautiful Mediterranean coast.
Natural colour palette
Mediterranean design takes inspiration from the serene natural beauty of the region with a colour palette that echoes the stunning hues of crystal-clear waters, lush olive groves and sun-soaked terrain. For an authentically Mediterranean feel in your bedroom design, maximise the natural light by drenching your walls in a soft, warm white or pale, sandy beige limewash. This creates a beautiful blank canvas, allowing you to introduce pops of warm and inviting colour in the rest of your décor.
As you curate your bedroom furniture and accessories, embrace soft blues, deep yellows, rich terracotta and earthy greens to reflect the picturesque Mediterranean landscape. Indulge in a colourful bed frame, such as our charming Oliver Bed in the muted shade of ocean green, complemented by sumptuously soft, crisp white sheets, or opt for the wonderfully subtle Vintage Rattan Bed dressed in a rust-hued hemp blend or ochre gold organic cotton bed linen.
Rustic rattan furniture
The Mediterranean lifestyle embraces the outdoors – an ethos that is naturally mirrored in the interior design style. It’s an aesthetic that celebrates organic materials and rustic textures, creating a seamless marriage of inside and alfresco living spaces. Our exquisite Sienna Rattan furniture is the epitome of this Mediterranean décor philosophy, beautifully crafted from solid weathered oak with stunning, natural rattan accents that whisper of long days spent in the warmth of the sun.
The Sienna Rattan Bed is the cornerstone of the collection, resplendent with its stunning, statement headboard, soft sweeping curves and elegant cabriole leg styling. This striking piece is beautifully complemented by the charming Sienna Rattan Bedside Tables, characterised by the same gentle curves, dovetail joinery and tactile rattan finishes. The Sienna Rattan 3-Drawer Chest and Sienna Rattan Wardrobe complete the set, creating a timelessly elegant Mediterranean ambience.
Tactile textured fabrics
Mediterranean home décor radiates warmth, with an abundance of tactile fabrics in contrasting textures and complementary colours inviting you to relax into their welcoming embrace. Imagine sheer linen curtains that flutter gently in the breeze, a handwoven jute rug for a touch of rustic charm and raffia baskets to hideaway everyday essentials. Dress your bed in beautiful bed linens and softly textured cushions, effortlessly draping a cosy throw to evoke a feeling of laidback luxury.
The subtle, neutral-hued pattern in our Cotton Collection Dyed Stripe Bed Linen offers a rustic and relaxed foundation for tactile cushions in mismatched fabrics and Mediterranean tones. Our a super-soft, lichen-coloured Bouclé Cushion pairs beautifully with the Printed Slub Cotton Feather Cushion in the shade of moss. Add a Fringed Velvet Cushion and co-ordinating Fringed Velvet Bedspread in stunning deep rust to create a layered and homely feel in your Mediterranean bedroom design.
Finishing touches for your Mediterranean retreat
With your Mediterranean-inspired colour palette, furniture and accessories in place, turn your attention to infusing your décor with personality and charm. Adorn your walls with artwork that speaks to the ethos of Mediterranean design, featuring vintage botanical prints or portraits of pretty, coastal villages and olive groves. Bring nature indoors by adding lush greenery or flowers with a Mediterranean influence, such as a rattan basket of lavender or succulents in terracotta pots.
Ensure that bedroom accessories are simple and minimal, adding one or two treasured trinkets or keepsakes to your bedside tables or chest of drawers. Create a calm and relaxing ambience in your Mediterranean bedroom retreat with soft, diffused lighting that casts a warm glow across the space. As evening falls, enjoy the soothing flicker of candlelight as your body unwinds and your mind drifts away, imagining the peaceful lap of the waves on the Mediterranean shoreline.
