Appreciation of these pleasures is also manifested in interior design. The Mediterranean home is a sensual domain that stimulates with vibrant colors, yet comforts with subtle textures. In harmony with its natural surroundings, the home incorporates sights, smells, sounds, textures, and tastes that nurture the senses.

• Treat walls to a muted color wash for a soft Moroccan
look, or paint them a matte white for a Greek flavor.
• Add natural texture to your rooms with terra-cotta or
stone flooring, simple wooden furnishings, and bright cotton fabrics.
• Train colorful climbers such as bougainvillea and jas-
mine over a trellis to create a shady and fragrant spot to escape from the sun. Vissza
