Greek Interior Design Style Elements

Greek Interior Design is simple and elegant, inspired by nature, and looks light, bright, airy and clean. If you like lots of white with beautiful vivid blue, green, fuchsia and gold accents, and a clean, de-cluttered, rustic look, Greek Interior design might be perfect for you! Designs tend to be simple, symmetrical, classical, and relaxing. Less is more.

• 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.
• Fabrics– Lightweight, sheer and white or neutral colors. Hang sheer white curtains on the windows or use sheer white fabric as a canopy over a bed. Varying shades of blue, often incorporating the Greek key pattern or stripes.
• Architectural elements– exposed  wooden beams, stone walls, columns, and arches.
• Flooring- stone, marble or limestone, ceramic tile, stained concrete. Area rugs with stripes, flowers or the Greek key patters are common.
• Furniture-wooden furniture with carvings and soft simple lines. Modern furniture often incorporates the Greek key pattern.

 

Greek Interior Design Style Elements to Try

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.   Here are some products you might like.

Pantone’s “Living Coral” is their 2019 Color of the Year. It is a warm, peachy orange that is bold, earthy and inviting.  What can you do with this color? Well, you could be brave and paint an entire room with it, or try it in smaller doses a powder room. If it is not a color you can see yourself living with in large doses, why not try using it in accents such as a wall mural, pillow, rug, art, a beautiful side chair or accessories. These can be easily changed over time if you want to try a different color. This color would work nicely with walls that are painted in a neutral color such as a light gray. Click on the picture below to go directly to my Pinterest pin, which has links to the products in the picture so you can find out more and purchase if you like (contain affiliate links). All should go nicely together.

I think these items together with some neutral off white sofas would create a clean, fresh, beautiful room in the Bohemian style with a modern twist. 

You can also visit my Pinterest board, “Ways to use Living Coral- Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year” for more options.

If you would like help selecting paint colors to go with Living Coral, or pulling it all together for your Interior Design project, give me a call for a color or design consultation today!

So why did I pick these items?  I love global design styles, such as Bohemian, with lots of color but with a little more elegant and pulled together look. I think of it as “Elegant Bohemian”. This look can have touches of modern, vintage, industrial, farmhouse or other styles to make it unique. I think these items give it a modern touch. Colorful, but still light, clean and airy.

See the descriptions below. If you click on the picture it will bring you to the site where you can purchase them if you like. These contain affiliate links, meaning they give me a small commission for sharing their product with you but it does not affect your price at all. This helps me share some free design tips with you:)

This original art on wallpaper is 8×8′, is printed on self-adhesive woven polyester fabric panels, and is easy to stick on and off. Support an artist and set the palette for the rest of the room. Beautiful! She also made the pillows you can put on your sofa to help tie it all together.

I love this Moroccan shag rug for giving that Bohemian vibe and giving lots of colors to work with to pull in with your furniture and accessories such as the deep rich teal and light blue.

What can I say, can this pillow be any cooler or go any better with the rug?

Nothing says Bohemian like a pouf and this one has the perfect colors. Take a cue from some of the colors in this for any wooden furniture you may add to the space.

I just love these, clean, fresh, light, pretty and the perfect color. Light shining through beautiful colored glass is one of my favorite things.

Some of the pillows I selected above have gone out of stock so I found these new ones below that I think would work beautifully with the rug and mural.

When I painted the exterior of my house, it looks gorgeous, like a new house. Then,  I was inspired to repaint and redecorate the inside so there would be harmony between the outside and inside.

The thought of decorating makes me happy. 

I know it will take time, work, and money, but I don’t care because I know decorating will make me feel great! 

Why is that? What is it about decorating that is so good for our minds, our hearts, our souls? Why do we want to do it? Why should we do it? I can think of nine reasons, and when added together, the end result is bliss!

It’s Refreshing

One of the first steps in redecorating is getting rid of the old, excess, or unwanted things that are taking up space. Taking stock of what we love and what we don’t or haven’t looked at or used in years is a good first step.

This allows us to make room for new things and provides space to highlight the things we love most.

Getting rid of excess stuff always makes me feel refreshed. How about you?

It Brings Serenity

Going through the de-cluttering process often brings on a frenzy of organizing as we create more room for all our things.

This always helps me feel like I have a little more control over my life, my destiny, my time.

I feel more relaxed after getting rid of things and reorganizing what’s left.

 

It Celebrates Good Memories

Once the decluttering is done, there is more room to re-arrange what is left, display cherished art and accessories in a new way, and highlight objects with memories of travels, friends, family, and our history.

Our story comes to life for us and others to see and enjoy.

It Allows Us To Express Our True Selves

 Once we have decluttered, organized, and started to display the things most meaningful to us, it is time to take stock of what new things to bring into our space.

If you haven’t done this for a while, lots of things are probably looking dated and you may be bored with them.

Maybe your style and likes have changed and what you have doesn’t express your taste anymore.

It is time to what serves you now and to bring it to life. Express yourself!

We always feel the most comfortable and at home in a space that truly reflects who we are.

Does your home make you feel that way now?

Color Brings Us Joy

Whether you love bright, bold color or revel in calming and serene neutrals, color has a big impact on how you feel every day.

Changing the colors of the walls or accessories can make the space look fresh and new and change your mood…for the better!

Beauty beats Chaos

What an amazing feeling to walk through your rooms and let beauty, rather than chaos wash over you.

Imagine how much better you would feel every day.

It Creates Connection

When we are not proud of the way our space looks, we tend to be less likely to invite friends over to socialize and connect.

Once your space looks beautiful, you want to show it off! Decorating helps make us more likely to entertain friends at home and spend time relaxing and connecting.

It Creates Renewal

 Creating our perfect space or sanctuary to retreat to during our busy lives renews our energy and gives us the space and peace of mind we all need.

Well-being is the highest state of mind you can achieve. Our surroundings have a big impact on that feeling.

It Creates Excitement

Redecorating is exciting, a journey of discovery.

We may not be sure exactly what the end result will be.

It can be like a treasure hunt for all the right pieces of a beautiful puzzle that tells our story. Sometimes the end result may surprise you!

Does the Process Bring You Joy?

I realize, the process may not be fun for everyone and you might need a helping hand. You may struggle with the de-cluttering and organization, how to arrange things,  figuring out your style, finding new items to complete the space, selecting paint and other colors, and more.  That’s what I am here for. And I am would love to help you find your bliss.

The first step is to create a plan with an Aligned Design consultation. I take a holistic and transformative approach to Interior Design, aligning art, science, and energy to develop a great plan for you.

Here are ten tips to make your house beautiful this year.

 

Make a Plan

You are much more likely to get the end result you want if you start with a plan. Many people just start buying things they like, hoping that it will all work together in the end. This usually does not work. A designer can help you come up with a great and affordable plan. It starts with understanding your own style, what you want and how your design will enhance how you live in your space.

Tell Your Own Story

It is easy to see pictures in a magazine or online of a room and think, “I want that”.  To have a beautiful house you love and will be unique, you need to tell your own story! Those pictures may serve as inspiration, but the items may not fit well in your space, fit your lifestyle, or work with things you own. Find things you love and are meaningful to you, give them a place of honor and build the design around them.

Buy what you Love

It is better to buy what you love, even if it is more expensive and it takes longer to get all the pieces you want than to rush to finish your design project with cheaper items. The things you love will make you happy over the long term. Try to find classic items that will stand the test of time, rather than something trendy. Trends fade quickly as will your interest in it.

Be Brave with Color

Color makes magic happen, affects the way you feel, and is easy to change. Painting is an inexpensive way to make a dramatic difference. Get help from a color consultant or Interior Designer to determine the perfect colors for you that work with your finishes and furniture.

Let there be light

Add magic to a space with layers of light. Find beautiful fixtures that add overhead lighting, mixed with lamps at mid-level and task lighting. Accent lighting on art and under cabinets look great.

Edit

We often collect so many things that nothing has a chance to shine. Get rid of the things you do not love.  Give the things you love a place of honor and enough uncluttered space around them so the eye is drawn to them, and you can appreciate it. You can always put the other things away and change out the items you want to highlight for variety.

Be Patient

A great interior design perfectly suited to you happens in layers and takes time. Be patient.

Create a sanctuary for yourself

Your space should not only look good but feel good, give you a place to re-charge and feel like your favorite place in the world.

Change it up

Using more neutral colors for the walls and furnishings allows you to change the other colors in the room such as accent pillows, art and accessories as often as you like for variety.

Break the rules

If it looks good, feels good and you love it, do it!

Here are my top ten Interior Design tips to create a beautiful space that is uniquely aligned with you, tells your story and is your favorite place in the world!

Make an Interior Design Plan

You are much more likely to get the end result you want if you start with an Interior Design plan. Many people just start buying things they like, hoping that it will all work together in the end. This usually does not work. A designer can help you develop an overall plan to guide you before you buy anything. This starts with really understanding your own style, what you want and how your design will enhance how you live in your space.

Tell Your Own Story

It is easy to see pictures in a magazine or online of a room and think, “I want that”.  To have a beautiful interior design you will love and will be unique, you need to tell your own story!
