We at Panaria Ceramica are proud to offer solutions that embody the Mediterranean spirit: vibrant colours, the scents of the sea, and welcoming atmospheres.
With our tiles, every room in a Mediterranean-style home can become a haven of beauty and tranquillity. Here elegant design meets the durability and quality of porcelain stoneware.
Whether your goal is to renovate your home, or simply give it a fresh look, Mediterranean style is the perfect choice for adding a touch of vacation to your everyday life.
Let’s explore all the elements that make up the contemporary Mediterranean style and allow you to recreate this typical coastal atmosphere in your home.
Owning a home by the sea is an incredible privilege that comes with breathtaking views, intoxicating scents, and a deep emotional connection. We at Panaria Ceramica understand this, which is why every day we strive to offer a beautiful and satisfying alternative, bringing the allure of the Mediterranean into your home through surfaces and décor and transforming this trend into a genuine lifestyle.
We will now guide you through the three main currents of interior design for furnishing a beach house: the coastal, Mediterranean, and nautical styles.
First of all: what is coastal style? It’s a style that evokes a fresh and airy quality, with a vintage touch that can tend towards more rustic or more romantic, at times inspired by the shabby-chic look, but with a “maritime” twist.
Its predominant colours are white and pastel tones, which evoke pristine beaches and the endless expanse of sea.
This design incorporates natural materials like light wood and rattan, creating a relaxed and breezy atmosphere, perfect for those who love feeling like they’re always on vacation
Meanwhile, Mediterranean style embraces vitality and a blending of the cultures that characterise the Mare Nostrum. A Mediterranean-style home is full of natural light and vibrant colours like sky blue, ochre yellow, and cactus green.
A wooden piece of furniture, like a wicker chair, or a terracotta vase add authenticity and warmth to the space, transforming it into a relaxing retreat.
Finally, nautical style pays tribute to the elegance of ships and naval life. This design favours navy blue, white, and red, with details that recall the nautical world, like ropes, anchors, and boats.
Nautical-style décor is sophisticated yet welcoming, perfect for those seeking to add a touch of maritime class to their home.
Are you ready to embark on your journey towards the home of your dreams?
Continue to imagine introducing the warmth of the Mediterranean, the tranquillity of the coast, and the beauty of the landscape into your everyday space.
To bring this atmosphere to life, porcelain stoneware tiles for a beach house are the perfect solution. Inspired by traditional majolica and cement tiles, they combine aesthetics and durability, making it possible to easily create sunny and welcoming environments.
Whether it’s furniture, flooring, or cladding, the predominant colours are shades of blue that recall the sea and sky, along with the green of lush vegetation. White is also essential, reflecting the brilliance of the sun and helping to keep the environments exposed to light cool.
The living room, one of the most lived-in areas of the home, is enhanced by large windows with light and airy curtains that allow sunlight to filter through. In a Mediterranean-style living room, white should be the main colour. However, porcelain stoneware tiles that simulate wood planks, like those from the Borealis collection, add warmth and light to the space.
The heart of the home is a bright open space that also includes a practical kitchen. Here, beach house-style kitchen tiles, typically colourful, add character. Furthermore, the use of arches makes it possible to maintain a sense of openness and continuity.
Finally, picture a Mediterranean-style bathroom with walls clad in white and blue tiles, while a light-coloured floor creates continuity towards the outdoors. Simple and linear furnishings, wicker baskets, and objects in unfinished wood add a touch of authenticity.
Crucial to establishing the desired atmosphere in a room, Mediterranean-style porcelain stoneware floors transform any environment into an oasis of beauty and tranquillity. Imagine walking on tiles that evoke the warmth of bleached wood, the solidity of natural stone, or delicate pastel shades of blue.
Especially in spaces with original wooden ceilings, a rough and bleached hardwood-look floor can add an extra touch of sophistication and elegance. Meanwhile, cement tiles, with their decorative patterns inspired by Arab, Spanish, and Italian traditions, are a must for conjuring memories of exciting trips.
This material creates the perfect floor for a beach house, recreating the authenticity of the Sicilian coast, Spanish villages, and Greek islands.
With Panaria Ceramica’s porcelain stoneware, every step you take in your home will feel like a journey through the wonders of the Mediterranean, exploring a place where beauty and functionality come together seamlessly.
Mediterranean-style homes often boast large terraces overlooking the sea, or secluded gardens where one can relax in the shade during the summer. In fact, one of the strengths of these homes is the availability of spaces that open up to the outdoors and enjoy an abundance of natural light.
The outdoor spaces of a Mediterranean-style home require a material that’s extremely durable and easy to clean, making porcelain stoneware an excellent choice.
Such is the case for the Memory collection, an elegant and simple surface that seems almost destined to bask in the light of sunny, outdoor spaces.
These surfaces, inspired by the decorations of antique cement tiles and the surface features of handcrafted terracotta, strike a harmonious balance between modern aesthetics and nostalgic décor. This is precisely where classic and modern styles meet, giving rise to a strong expressive personality that’s ready to be applied to living spaces. A winning solution for the outdoor flooring of beach houses, incredibly durable and capable of making you fall in love at first sight!
Combining rustic and modern elements can be an exciting and rewarding option to explore among the many original ideas for furnishing a beach house. This choice can bring to life unique and inviting coastal-style environments, creating a mood that’s both relaxing and full of vitality.
The goal is to blend modern elegance with the warm authenticity of rustic elements to create spaces that are both chic and comfortable.
To begin with, colour plays a crucial role. Maintaining a palette of light and neutral colours, with accents of ocean blue and aqua green, can evoke the typical feeling of tranquillity that coastal life inspires. This is an essential resource when designing a Mediterranean-style bedroom, for example.
Integrating surfaces inspired by natural elements is another essential step. Bleached wood-look stoneware can add a rustic touch without detracting from the modern qualities. Consider, for example, a Mediterranean-style kitchen with shabby-chic wood floors, raw wood coffee tables, and shelves made from reclaimed wood. The addition of decorative elements, like baskets and chairs, introduces textures and natural colours that are perfect for a modern coastal-style environment.
Accessories also play an important role in completing the look. The use of fabrics that recall the sails on a boat, like linen and cotton, for curtains and pillows, can add an unintrusive nautical touch. Additionally, incorporating decorative glass objects, like transparent vases filled with sand or shells, can bring a breath of sea air directly into your home.
