Mediterranean-style homes actually come in a wide variety of styles, including Southwestern, Moroccan, Tuscan, Spanish and Italian villa. Warm, earthy and rich textures are the foundation of Mediterranean-style homes. Wrought iron, colorful patterned tile, rustic wood beams and bright kilim textiles are found in Mediterranean interior design, while stately columns, terra-cotta tiles, arched windows and stucco exteriors are well-known exterior features. Mediterranean-style homes often include grandiose, palatial spaces, but spaces can be as homey as a rustic kitchen with a wood-burning oven and a family-style dining table.
