Mediterranean nations can provide inspiration to homeowners who are thinking about redesigning areas of their properties, one expert has suggested, which may interest those with Wooden
Venetian Blinds.
According to Simon Errill, managing director at
Stonehouse Tiles, Spain and Italy are among the countries that may be able to offer people some useful design elements.
When aiming to achieve a Mediterranean look in their houses, he advised: "Take marble-tiled floors and a wooden ceiling, wrought-iron accessories and pottery from Italian decor, take whitewashed walls from the Greeks and add a splash of colour from Spanish inspiration."
Spanish inspiration can be applied by consumers to the fabrics that are found in their rooms, Mr Errill pointed out.
The expert also highlighted the timeless appeal of natural stone tile floors.
Meanwhile, Dobson & Vivian expert Tor Vivian recently suggested to the Independent that neutral coloured walls could be an option for some home decorators.
