The style is built on an earthy colour palette of beige, muted terracotta, and sage green. The colours are drawn directly from the nature around the Mediterranean.
It is a palette that never feels contrived — it naturally complements a sun-drenched landscape and a rustic stone house.
An olive grove with old, gnarled bark is the very origin of this style, but it works equally well in a stone house with simple, natural materials. Outdoor terraces in the shade of trees, with linen draped over long tables, reinforce the same calm, earthy expression.
The style doesn't require a flashy venue — it's about materials and serenity, not size.
Both Provence and Crete have abundant olive groves as a backdrop for this style, and it is precisely here that it truly comes into its own.
The style also works well on farms, vineyards, and places with a rustic, raw feel.
Braided decorations and dried flowers are signature elements in this style—pampas grass, lavender, wild flowers in natural bouquets.
The decor should look like it has almost grown organically, not like it has been carefully planned.
