Greek interiors are very simpleand rustic quite minimalist.
Pieces with bold textures such
as sculpted stucco,earthenware tile, embroideredwall hangings
and hand-painted tiles. Furniture is bold.Terracotta floors with
indigoaccessories and vivid whitetextiles.
The Greek home decor palettefavors natural shades. Oceanblues
and greens are obviouschoices and look beautifullycontrasted with
bright white.Golden yellow is a major color,seen on walls,
floors,
upholstery and furniture. Dark,burnt oranges and terracotta.
The overall effect is to create ahomey, artful space.
