Mediterranean style draws on the colours and materials of southern European coastal homes: warm terracotta and clay tones, textured or handmade-look tiles, arched detailing, and natural materials like stone and timber. It reads warmer and earthier than coastal style, which leans toward cooler whites and blues, and less formal than hamptons, which is built around crisp white shaker cabinetry.

Look for tiles with texture, warmth or handmade variation rather than a flat, uniform finish. Zellige tiles are a strong fit, their slight irregularity and light-catching glaze are close to the traditional North African and southern European tiles the style borrows from. Terracotta-toned or brick-look tiles and warm-toned mosaics also work well, particularly as a feature wall or splashback.

Warm metallic finishes, brushed brass, brushed gold or aged bronze, generally suit Mediterranean style better than chrome or matte black, since the look leans on warmth rather than a stark contrast. An arched or curved tap silhouette reinforces the style further, echoing the rounded archways the aesthetic is known for. Browse taps to compare warm-toned finishes side by side.

An arch is one of the more recognisable details of the style, whether in a mirror shape, a niche, or a doorway, but it isn't compulsory. A room can still read as Mediterranean through colour and material choices alone: warm terracotta or clay-toned tile, a timber or stone-look vanity, and brass hardware. An arched mirror or arched bathroom mirror is a straightforward way to add the detail if the rest of the room is already fitted out.

A timber or timber-look vanity in a warm, natural tone suits the style well, plain or simply detailed doors work better than a high-gloss or heavily ornate front, since the texture and colour of the tile and tapware should carry most of the visual interest. Stone or stone-look benchtops in a warm cream or sandy tone reinforce the palette further. Browse the vanities and furniture hub to compare finishes once the tile and tapware direction is settled.

Consistency in colour temperature does most of the work: keep tile, tapware, hardware and vanity finish within the same warm palette (terracotta, clay, sand, aged brass) rather than introducing a cool grey or stark white element that pulls the room in a different direction. One strong textural feature, a zellige splashback or an arched niche, generally reads better than several competing decorative details spread through the room.
