Will it add arches or beams?

No. Arches, beams and other architecture stay as they are in your photo. The style comes from wall finishes, floor tones, textiles, furniture and light.

Can I get the limewash look without real limewash?

The picture shows the look. In the real room, limewash, mineral paint or a textured paint finish can give it; ask a decorator what suits your walls.

Does it work in a modern flat?

Yes, in a simpler form: warm white walls, linen, rattan, terracotta tones and plants, with little clutter.

Is Coastal the same thing?

No. Coastal is airier and cooler: white and sand with soft blues, light woods and natural fibres. Mediterranean is warmer and earthier, with terracotta, olive and textured plaster. Both are presets, so you can compare them as two options.

Mediterranean style, applied to your own room

Mediterranean interiors were made for heat and strong sun: thick plaster walls, cool stone floors, little furniture and natural fibres. In a cooler climate they read as warm and relaxed, and they are one of the few styles that look better with a little wear.

What the Mediterranean preset asks for

Limewash plaster walls, terracotta and natural stone, rattan and linen, olive and sea tones, sun-washed light.

Things you can ask for

“Mediterranean, warm and sunny.”
“Warm white limewash walls, terracotta tones underfoot and linen curtains”
“Greek island: white walls, blue accents and simple wooden furniture”
“Italian countryside: olive green, rattan chairs and a big wooden table”
“Keep the bed, add a rattan headboard and sand-coloured linen bedding”

What defines the style

Plaster or limewash walls with a soft, uneven texture, in warm white, sand or ochre.
Terracotta and natural stone underfoot, or their colours.
Rattan, cane, rush and linen, with simple solid-wood furniture that is often painted or weathered.
A palette from the landscape: olive and sage, sea blue, clay and sand.
Ceramics, a few large plants and sun-washed light.

Rooms feel open because so little is in them: a bed, a chair, a table, a chest. Decoration comes from texture and light rather than from objects.

Greek, Italian or Spanish

The coastline has several versions. Greek island rooms are white with blue, and very spare. Italian rooms are warmer, with ochre, olive and more wood. Spanish and Moroccan-influenced rooms bring patterned tiles, deeper terracotta and ironwork. Describe the version you want in words, or upload a reference photo of a room you like and the style is taken from it.

Making it work away from the sea

In a grey climate the risk is a cold white room that only works in sunshine. Use warm whites rather than bright ones, keep the terracotta and wood tones, and add lamps with linen shades so the room still glows in winter. Terracotta tiles are cold underfoot without underfloor heating; a terracotta-toned rug or textiles give the colour without the chill. A redesign of your own photo shows quickly whether your light carries the style.

Arches and beams are architecture. If your room has none, the redesign will not build them; it changes finishes, furniture and light, not the structure.

Photographing for a sun-washed result

Photograph in daylight with a window in frame, because the style depends on light. Choose the Mediterranean preset with Redesign, or Full transformation if nothing is staying. Bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and hotel-style rooms all suit it. In the example on this page, a hotel room corner, the wardrobe, desk, artwork and lamp stayed while the striped wallpaper became limewash plaster.
