Decorating With Mediterranean Blue

Blue is a colour synonymous with the Mediterranean.

From deep cobalt, to sky blue, aqua and turquoise. It echoes the azure blue sky and sparkling waters of the sea.

It speaks of warm sunny days with the sun on your back. And it brings a feeling of calm and serenity.

From the narrow winding streets in Morocco, to the mountain villages of Greece. On walls, doorways and painted shutters. Blue is a re-occurring theme for both exterior and interior decorating throughout the Mediterranean.

Traditionally, it was believed that blue would ward off bad luck or the evil eye. And in Morocco, this vibrant colour is also thought to repel the summer mosquitoes who mistake it for clear water.

Let’s go on a virtual tour of the region and get some decorating inspiration with Mediterranean blue.

I hope you have enjoyed this little tour. Are you inspired by Mediterranean Blue?
