Mediterranean home interior ideas
A Mediterranean home interior is built from a few honest materials: lime plaster, terracotta or limestone floors, timber beams and arched openings to the outside. The six views below come from three Mediterranean houses Domusia drew, on a clifftop, by a lake and in the desert.
Draw your Mediterranean house
Rendered with Domusia
Mediterranean house exterior
- White lime render outside, with the same plaster carried inside on the walls of every room.
- Arched windows and doors, repeated on the facade and in the rooms, so the shape is read from both sides.
- Flat roofs on the clifftop and desert houses, a dark hipped roof on the lake house.
- Floors in terracotta tiles or large pale limestone slabs, cool underfoot.
- Kitchens with a solid wood or plastered island, woven stools and ceramics on open shelves.
- Pergolas with bougainvillea, cypress trees and terraced gardens that link the inside to the outside.
Questions
Are these construction plans?
No. Domusia draws what your Mediterranean house looks like, inside and out, not how to build it. Use the images to brief an architect.
What floors suit a Mediterranean home interior?
Terracotta tiles or pale limestone. The houses here use terracotta in the clifftop house and limestone in the desert and lake houses.
Does a Mediterranean house need a tiled roof?
No. Two of these three houses have a flat roof. Arched openings, white render and the planting carry the style on their own.
How do I draw my own Mediterranean house?
Choose Mediterranean as the style in Domusia, then a setting, a facade and a roof. Domusia draws the exterior, then the rooms inside.
