The Difference Between Modern and Mediterranean Styles: Added Dark Wood and Iron

A Spanish Revival interior that is distinctly not Greek Mediterranean. Both styles feature hand-troweled white stucco walls and arched openings, but here the white walls are grounded by three elements: exposed dark solid wood beams on the ceiling, wrought iron railings and light fixtures, and terracotta square tiles on the floor. The overall brightness is thus lowered by one step, creating stronger, heavier, and warmer contrasts. There is no Aegean sea blue and pure white; instead, ochre yellow, terracotta red, and nearly black dark wood prevail. Avoid: using blue and white color schemes and pure white walls, making the ceiling flat and white, omitting ironwork to lighten the space, using light-colored wood and wicker as the main tone.

一個明顯不是希臘式地中海的西班牙復興室內。兩者都有手抹的白灰泥牆與拱形開口,但這裡的白牆被三樣東西壓住:天花外露的深色實木樑、鍛鐵的欄杆與燈具、以及地面的赤陶方磚。整體的明度因此低了一階,對比更強、更重、更暖。沒有愛琴海的影藍與純白,取而代之的是赭黃、陶紅與近乎黑的深木。避免:使用藍白配色與純白的牆、把天花做成平整的白色、省略鐵件讓空間變輕、使用淺色的木頭與藤編作為主調。
