If you want an atmosphere of peace and harmony to be breathed in your home, do not miss these keys to decorate it in the Greek style.
The decoration in the Greek style is characterized by being fresh, bright and romantic. It is based on the color white, which catches the external light towards the interior of the house, and the blue, which represents tranquility. At the same time, blue does not reflect the luminosity, and thus balances the environment to make it more relaxed.
Among the main characteristics of Greek decoration, curves stand out, which provide a feeling of tranquility and enjoyment. On the other hand, they are almost empty spaces, with very little furniture, to create an environment in harmony.
Tips for decorating your home in the Greek style
If you follow these steps, you can transform your home in an amazing way. This is an aesthetically beautiful style that also promotes relaxation and enjoyment.
1. A lot of stone
Due to the geographical characteristics of the place from which it originates, this style uses a lot of raw stone. It is used on walls and floors, and its ends are rounded or in the shape of arches. You can also add a couple of Greek plaster statues for a more rustic look.
2. White walls and ceilings
The white on walls and ceilings is what probably draws the most attention in this style. It has its explanation, since the predominant stone in Greece is white. It is also the color of sea salt, an important element for them. Also, white increases luminosity.
3. Light blue or blue openings
Blue or light blue colors are used in all their shades to paint frames, doors and windows. This color comes from the Aegean Sea, and creates a very interesting contrast with white. Likewise, the door and window frames have an arcade or rounded shape.
4. Decorate with flowers and vases
Both inside and outside the house you can place large brown vases with colorful flowers. Mainly, those in lilac, violet or red colors are used, which contrast with the white of the place. They are used only in one sector and in small quantities.
Pots can also be placed on the windows and filled with flowers and green plants. The decoration is with a lot of color contrast, but not in abundance, rather with limitations, such as small gardens located in specific places that brighten the environment.
5. Columns
Classic columns can be used as decorative elements, both inside the house and in patios or gardens. They are generally columns that imitate Doric or Corinthian art. Their construction can be in marble or stone, and they harmoniously complement this type of decoration.
6. White and light blue accessories
To decorate in the Greek style, you can use accessories in the range of blues or whites. But it can also be done in a color that contrasts with white, such as terracotta. Of course, without abusing.
