Mediterranean Entryway & Hallway Interior Design
Ideas, layouts, colors and materials for a mediterranean entryway & hallway — plus the pieces that make the look work.
Designing a mediterranean entryway & hallway
A mediterranean entryway & hallway blends the mediterranean look — shaded + sun-warmed, lime plaster, terracotta, chestnut, rush, limestone — with layouts and details that suit a entryway & hallway. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.
Mediterranean entryway & hallway palette
Let lime, clay and chestnut dominate the envelope. Use olive where the room meets planting, and keep cobalt to a stripe, cup, painted edge or single artwork rather than repeating blue everywhere.
Color roles
A soft mineral white that reflects daylight without producing a cold, glaring interior.
The principal floor and pottery note, naturally varied rather than uniformly orange.
A substantial joinery tone for shutters, doors, tables and kitchen cabinetry.
A shaded green for one wall, glaze or textile connection to courtyard planting.
A narrow cooling accent, strongest when it appears only once or twice.
