What is the Mediterranean Style of Decorating?
The Mediterranean style of decorating has its roots in Spain, Greece and Italy. Mediterranean decorating is also known as Spanish modern and Tuscan decorating. Interestingly, the Mediterranean style can be casual or formal as well as traditional or modern depending on the materials used. Metal is popular in all types of Mediterranean decorating. You can use burnished or hammered copper or pewter for the traditional Mediterranean look and shinier metal for the contemporary Mediterranean look.
