The New Mediterranean: Homes and Interiors Under the Southern Sun

Introducing the designers and architects who are leading the way, while investigating the traditional craftsmanship at the heart of this movement.

The New Mediterranean shows you how to bring this sumptuous, sun-drenched minimalism into your own home.

A welcoming, new, down-to-earth modernism is gaining momentum, from California to Morocco, Portugal to Mexico. This direction in interiors combines Mediterranean folkloric influences with a contemporary aesthetic — taking cues from sunny landscapes to embrace warmth, light, and organic elements. The New Mediterranean showcases inspiring residences and vacation homes around the world that combine rustic, earthy tones with colorful fabrics, ceramics, rattan furniture, and Berber carpets which are offset by whitewashed walls, concrete, brick, terracotta tiles, and glass.
