What is Tuscan Interior Design?

Tuscan interior design is inspired by the earthy colors and natural rustic appeal of the Italian wine-producing region of Tuscany. The Tuscan look is both lived in and elegant. For example, Tuscan wood furniture is classically Italian in design, yet it is worn looking with any scratches, chips and scrapes considered as adding charm. Building materials include both the elegance of marble and the warmth of terra cotta. Warm, rich colors such as gold, olive, dark blue and dark red as well as all shades of earthy browns from tan to chocolate make up the color focus of Tuscan interior design.  more
