Mediterranean Design reveals the vibrant color, outdoor-living emphasis, and diverse cultural influences that have created this unique style. Defined by an eclectic mix of natural elements: sunlight bouncing across textured walls, rooms arranged around porch-lined courtyards, terra-cotta tile roofs covering wood-beam ceilings, arched passages and porticos, vibrantly colored interiors, and courtyards and fountains that take advantage of the temperate climate. Mediterranean Design brings home the romantic and worldly appeal of a style that finds its heritage in the diverse lands of Morocco, Spain, Greece, Turkey, France, and Croatia. <br> Mediterranean Design highlights the unique aspects of the style, such as <br> Spatial orientation of the rooms is defining and private <br> Vestibules and porches rather than hallways connecting functional spaces <br> Bedrooms as suites rather than lonely rooms <br> Bathrooms as spas rather than generic or merely functional rooms <br> Details such as arches, pillars, high ceilings, fountains, gardens, pergolas, lime-washed walls, stone façades, friezes, warm colors, balconies, iron gates, and garden walls <br> Locations of these magnificent homes include: California, Florida, Texas, Turkey, Morocco, Paris, Mexico, and more! <br>
