Keep the holiday spirit alive and bring the fresh and summery spirit of the Mediterranean to your living room with these easy and affordable updates.

1. Starting with a mostly white or neutral colour palette, gradually work the vibrant colours of the Med into your space. Think rich ocean blues, vivid turquoise and sun-kissed citrus in the form of cushions, throws, ornaments or artwork.



2. Transform your home into a Spanish hacienda with terracotta tones. Try a rust-coloured rug, a terracotta lamp or paint an entire wall to add warmth. 



3. Add plants in different shapes and sizes at different levels for a sense of lushness.



4. Just because you don't have an archway doesn't mean you can't allude to the curved ceilings of Santorini. Go for round and geometric tables or stools to soften the look of your room.



5. Consider natural tactile textures such as jute rugs, wooden bowls and side tables for a relaxed earthy vibe.
