You do not need to completely remodel your home in order to give it a Tuscan feel. Instead, you can change small features of your home, such as lighting elements, tile, and accessories. If you carefully choose elements that recall the rolling hills of Southern Italy, visitors to your home will feel as if they have been whisked away to scenic Tuscany.
Tuscany is not only known for its relaxing, rustic aesthetic. That region of Italy is also renowned for its delicious cuisine. Because of this connection, Tuscan kitchens are becoming very popular. A Tuscan kitchen is warm and inviting. Your kitchen can have a similar feel if you use rustic tiles, wrought iron elements, and antique or faux-antique accessories. Look for rusty brown and burnt orange colored tiles for your counter tops and floors. A wrought iron pot older over your kitchen’s stove or island is an excellent Tuscan touch that also adds functional space to your kitchen. There are also many kitchen accessories that use Tuscan colors.
If you do not want to incorporate Tuscan decor into your kitchen, many of the same ideas work well in other areas of your home. With the right accessories, you can update your living room quickly and affordably. If you have a fireplace, consider using a wrought iron grate instead of a more modern glass model. Make sure you pair your wrought iron with furniture and accessories in soft, Tuscan inspired colors. Wrought iron on its own will look very formal. This can be an attractive look for a home, but it does not recall the casual feel of Tuscany.
A home decorated with elements derived from tradition Tuscan design is truly relaxing, so consider this type of look when taking on your new home remodeling project. Guests will enjoy the atmosphere of your home when they visit, and you will enjoy it every day.
