There's nothing quite like the Mediterranean and the beautiful vibrant color schemes. There's no other décor that has such an inviting and refreshing feeling. And an Acadia chandelier is the perfect finishing touch to your Mediterranean décor.
Recently the Mediterranean theme has really caught on. That's got a great deal to do with the beautiful warm and invigorating colors schemes that provide a relaxed atmosphere that is meant to enjoy. The right mix of color, accessories, and lighting can take you across the planet.
Before you start on your room, you need to get yourself some travel and decorating magazines and have a look at the feel of the Mediterranean themes. Check out the color and texture choices you have and the style trends. Notice they tend to be very open and airy. The colors are usually vibrant yellows, oranges, and blues. Think sun, ocean, and warm summer breezes. You'll also find plenty of texture from the walls to the window coverings.
Now that you've got some ideas in your head it's time to pick your color palette. If too much vibrant color scares you, you don't have to use solid colors and you can also choose to use a wash technique to tone things down. You can also use creamy whites on some of the surfaces. Don't forget that stippling and texturing will make your walls feel aged perfect for the feel of the Mediterranean.
You may also decide you want to change your flooring. Terracotta tiles look fabulous in a kitchen, sunroom, or bathroom. White pine flooring looks great in a living room or bedroom. Check out all your flooring options.
When it comes to your rooms décor remember that you're aiming for a relaxed atmosphere. Terracotta pots with rich green plants look great. Aged pots work well. Cobalt blue glass containers, vases, and jars are easy to find and add the finishing touches. Hand painted coasters and candle holders add a nice touch, and an Acadia chandelier is the perfect finishing touch.
There are many different Acadia styled chandeliers. The size and style you choose will be dependant on the room you are redoing and whether you want to use your chandelier as a focal point or as complimentary décor.
Window coverings should be mute and not take away from your walls. They should also be a light weight fabric that will blow gently in the breeze taking you off to the Mediterranean. Fabrics should feel comfortable and not compete with the walls. Remember cozy, inviting, and relaxing. Throw pillows in a variety of colors and designs work well.
If your budget allows you to also replace your furniture look for wrought iron or rustic wood pieces. You can paint or stain to meet your color needs and it's very easy to recover cushions. Be more concerned with style.
Your Mediterranean room could quite easily become the favorite room in your home. After all what could be better after a busy day at the office or a day of errand running with the kids. Who wouldn't want to retreat to a room that refreshes and revitalizes them? Don't forget to enjoy that beautiful Acadia chandelier while your there!
