HISTORY OF THE STYLE
The classic features of Mediterranean interiors appeared more than three thousand years ago. The style originated in the distant ancient times, when Greeks, Romans and Turks settled on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Over time, the cultural practices of different countries and peoples blended together.
Mediterranean style in the interior - is the exact embodiment of nature, climate and the general atmosphere of the coast, the embodiment of serene tenderness, peace and airy lightness. Over the centuries of its existence, it has absorbed the cultural features of peoples living near the Mediterranean Sea.
The style has survived long and difficult times, but has survived to this day almost unchanged.

Mediterranean style interior lighting is all about creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that reflects the relaxed ambiance. To create a harmonious interior in the Mediterranean style, you need to pay attention to: furniture, textiles, lighting and accessories. We're going to talk about lighting, because lighting play an important role in creating the atmosphere of a summer resort. They are not only a source of light, but also an important decorative element.
Here are some key characteristics:
Here are some key characteristics:
- Warm Ambiance: Mediterranean interiors often feature warm, golden lighting that mimics the natural glow of the sun. Opt for light fixtures with warm tones such as amber, gold, or bronze.
- Traditional Crystal: Crystal and glass chandeliers can add a stunning focal point to Mediterranean interiors, enhancing the space with elegance, luxury and sophistication. Look for designs with ornate detailing and multiple tiers.
- Natural Materials: Natural materials also play an important role in the Mediterranean style. Wood, stone and rattan are the main materials used to create furniture and decorative elements. They give the interior a sense of naturalness, rustic charm and complement the warm lighting.
- Diffused Light: Avoid harsh, direct lighting. Instead, use fixtures that diffuse light softly, creating a gentle atmosphere. To achieve this effect, use lamps with frosted or tinted glass lampshades.
- Summer Colors: To accentuate the beauty and charm of the Mediterranean, use warm and soft colors such as turquoise lavender, ochre and olive. These colors remind you of clear skies, sand, azure seas and blooming gardens.
- Layered Lighting: To create depth and visual interest, use a combination of overhead, task and diffused lighting. It is very important to choose ceiling, table and floor lamps in the same style and color palette, this will help to make the interior balanced and harmonious.
- Outdoor lighting: If you have outdoor spaces such as patios or gardens, extend the Mediterranean vibe to the outdoors with pendant lights, floor lamps or wall sconces. This will create a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors.
- Mood lighting: Use dimmers to adjust the brightness level and create a cozy atmosphere in the evenings. I also recommend using smart lighting control systems such as Casambi. You can set up automatic dimming and color temperature changes. During the day, the color of the lighting will change from warm to cool and back to warm, replicating natural light.
- Candlelight: Don't underestimate the power of candlelight in creating a Mediterranean ambiance. Place candles in decorative holders throughout the space to add warmth and a romantic glow.
