Mediterranean design speaks to the soul. It draws from centuries of culture, creativity and connection to the natural world. It’s more than a style; it’s a way of living that embraces texture, warmth and the outdoors. At Jatana Interiors, we adore how this aesthetic aligns with our own love for vibrant, soulful interiors — brought to life through richly patterned encaustic tiles, earthy terracotta, and antique finds that echo the past.

Let’s explore how you can bring this timeless style into your space using Jatana’s signature tile collections.

1. Colour palette: Earth meets sea The magic of the Mediterranean begins with colour. Drawn from the sea, the land and the sky, the tones are relaxed, lived-in, and sun-washed.

  • Deep blues Evoke the feeling of a Mediterranean coastline with shades of ocean blue. Reproduction encaustic tiles in coastal tones or Moroccan patterns can bring this depth and calm into your kitchen or bathroom.
  • Earthy greens Inspired by olive groves and vineyard hills, green tiles — especially Antique encaustic or Glazed options — breathe life into a space while keeping the palette grounded.
  • Warm neutrals Think sun-bleached walls, sand, and clay. Terracotta tiles and soft-toned encaustic patterns form a warm, timeless foundation for your space.

  • Colour accents Add life with golden yellows, rust, and soft purples. Look for Moroccan encaustic tiles that incorporate these shades or introduce vibrancy with decorative accessories.

2. Natural materials: A soulful foundation Authenticity and connection to nature are essential to Mediterranean style. Materials should feel real, textured, and beautifully imperfect.

  • Terracotta and stone Our handmade terracotta tiles bring the sun-drenched charm of traditional Mediterranean homes into any room. Pair them with antique encaustic tiles for that old-world elegance.
  • Wood and rustic metals Complement your tile choices with aged timber furniture or iron accents. The worn-in beauty of these materials pairs perfectly with our Antique tile collections.
  • Natural fabrics Linen, cotton and wool help create that effortless, lived-in comfort. Pair your soft furnishings with glazed feature tiles for a beautiful textural contrast.

3. Tiles: Layers of history and texture Tiles are the heart of Mediterranean interiors. Whether it’s a handcrafted Moroccan encaustic pattern or a raw terracotta floor, tiles bring character and warmth to every corner.

4. Indoor-outdoor living: Flowing with nature Mediterranean homes blur the lines between indoors and out. At Jatana, we love designing with that same sense of openness.

Use tiles that work across both environments — like our terracotta or encaustic tiles — to extend your space visually and practically. Think tiled courtyards, breezy archways, and spaces filled with light and greenery.

5. Textiles: Casual comfort Choose simple, tactile fabrics in earthy hues. Layer linen throws, soft cushions and textured rugs alongside warm-toned tiles for a sense of ease and elegance. Let your materials speak — don’t overcomplicate. A space should feel inviting, not overstyled.

6. Decor: Soulful details The beauty of Mediterranean interiors lies in their individuality. Decor should reflect your personal style while connecting to traditional craftsmanship.

Woven baskets, vintage pottery and artwork inspired by the landscape all pair beautifully with Jatana’s eclectic tile range. A little imperfection? All the better — it makes things feel real, human, and lived-in.

Create a Mediterranean home that feels like you Mediterranean design is about crafting spaces that invite slow living and celebration. With Jatana’s curated collections — from antique and reproduction encaustic tiles to glazed and terracotta favourites — you can build a space layered with colour, soul and history.
