Greek Interior Design is simple and elegant, inspired by nature, and looks light, bright, airy and clean. Imagine lots of white with beautiful vivid blue, green, fuchsia and gold accents, and a clean, de-cluttered, rustic look, Designs tend to be simple, symmetrical, classical, and relaxing. Less is more.
Greek style is an example of global style Interior Design. Global Style Interior Design is all about telling the story of your life and adventures through your decor. Each piece has a story and becomes a conversation starter. Treasures, old and new are displayed from various parts of the world and layered in a rich tapestry of color, texture, art and history.
Greek Design Elements
- Color- Lots of white with beautiful vivid blue, green, fuchsia and gold accents.
- Design elements- whitewashed or exposed stone walls, blue shutters, Greek key pattern, columns (Ionic, Corinthian or Doric designs) incorporated into architecture, furniture or accessories. Moldings with classical details.
- Accessories– Antique oil jars, glazed pottery, colorful glass. Greek columns holding sculptures or statues, plants or framing architectural elements.

- Architectural elements– exposed wooden beams, stone walls, columns, and arches.

Get the Look
Here is an example of an Edesign I created using the typical Greek color palette of whites and blues with fuscia accents. The design highlights the Greek key pattern in the rug, arched windows, white washed walls, columns, colorful glass lamps and simple furniture. It highlights my unique fractal art, the “Sea” collection which works wonderfully with Greek design because of the color and connection with nature and the sea which is also prevalent in Greek design.
To get the look, you could go all out and incorporate all the elements of Greek Interior Design, or you can add some key elements to your existing decor.
Try lamps, pillows or rugs incorporating varying shades of blue reflecting the colors of the sea and the sky typically used in this style. Incorporate art using shades of blue that have natural elements related to plants or the sea. Try furniture, accessories or rugs with the Greek key pattern.

This is such a classic enduring style you have outlined, Mary Ann! Greek style always makes me think of the Mediterranean coast with sparkling blue water and sunwashed white buildings – sooo appealing when it is gray and cold and winter here right now!
Thank you, it is one of my favorite styles with it’s beautiful colors and rustic elegance.
