Bring the sunshine into your garden with the Mediterranean style
Whitewashed houses with blue shutters, fragrant lavender fields and the sound of crickets on a warm summer evening – the Mediterranean style instantly evokes the feeling of a holiday in Southern Europe. Would you like to experience that same sense of relaxation at home? With the right colours, materials and outdoor furniture, you can easily transform your space into a sun-soaked paradise. Discover how to bring a Mediterranean atmosphere to your garden or terrace, step by step.
Colours inspired by the Mediterranean Sea
The foundation of a Mediterranean garden lies in its use of colour. Neutral earth tones such as sand, beige, terracotta and white create a sense of calm and space. These natural shades are reminiscent of sun-drenched coastlines and villages with centuries-old stone walls.
Looking for more vibrancy? Add accents in classic Mediterranean colours such as deep blue, olive green or ochre yellow. Think cushions, vases or even the window frames of your garden house – small touches of colour can make a big impact.
A well-chosen colour palette is the foundation of every successful Mediterranean outdoor space – it creates both warmth and harmony.

Natural materials with character
Materials play a key role in creating this style. Think weathered teak, sturdy natural stone, ceramics and handcrafted terracotta. These materials are not only beautiful but also durable and easy to maintain. For example, lay a terrace with natural stone tiles and combine it with a gravel path or rock features for a playful effect. A solid wooden pergola with climbing plants such as grapevines or bougainvillea completes the picture perfectly.
Natural materials tell a story. The longer you use them, the more beautiful they become – exactly what you want in a Mediterranean garden.
The right outdoor furniture for a Mediterranean atmosphere
Comfortable lounge sets and dining sets are essential. Opt for furniture made of teak or aluminium with a wood-look finish, combined with soft cushions in warm tones. A spacious corner sofa or round dining table invites you to linger over meals in good company. Pay attention to the design details: rounded shapes and curved armrests create a welcoming look. Accessories such as a mosaic side table, a woven hanging chair or a ceramic lantern add an extra touch of character and charm.
Mediterranean atmosphere down to the finest details
To truly bring your outdoor space to life, the styling is just as important as the furniture. Fragrant herbs such as rosemary, thyme and lavender are a must – not only do they look beautiful, they also attract bees and butterflies. Add accessories like colourful plant pots, a calming fountain or an elegant lantern. With warm lighting, an outdoor rug and soft scatter cushions, you’ll complete the look. And don’t forget a spot to really unwind – a hammock or a lounge chair makes the perfect finishing touch.
