Designing a mediterranean home office

A mediterranean home office blends the mediterranean look — shaded + sun-warmed, lime plaster, terracotta, chestnut, rush, limestone — with layouts and details that suit a home office. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.

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

Warm lime

A soft mineral white that reflects daylight without producing a cold, glaring interior.

Terracotta clay

The principal floor and pottery note, naturally varied rather than uniformly orange.

Aged chestnut

A substantial joinery tone for shutters, doors, tables and kitchen cabinetry.

Olive leaf

A shaded green for one wall, glaze or textile connection to courtyard planting.

Cobalt edge

A narrow cooling accent, strongest when it appears only once or twice.
