Tuscan Style

From the special online feature Design Styles

PHOTO
Tuscan interiors feature a rustic, sun-baked look characterized by crumbling stone patios, simple and sturdy furnishings with elegant iron accents, terra-cotta tiles and textured wall finishes, in addition to elegant, detailed murals and trompe l'oeil designs.

Colors - This rustic color palette leans heavily on earthy, unpretentious hues evocative of a Tuscan hillside. Floors - Terra-cotta tiles, stone with mosaic inlay and worn wood covered with antique rugs are all ways to bring a Tuscan look down to the floor.

Accents - Wrought-iron accessories like candle sconces and light fixtures reinforce the rustic theme. Other appropriate accessories include painted ceramic objects and tile to bring color and vitality to the design. Architecture - Rough plaster walls soar up to a rustic beamed ceiling. Windows are simple and left bare to take advantage of unfiltered natural light.
