Interior styles have been influenced over time by a wide collection of different cultures, such as the Egyptians, Chinese, Roman, Aztec and Medieval, to name but a few. But few interior styles have had the impact and relevance of Greece, especially on modern interior design and architecture. The Greeks have definitely stood the test of time, with many homes across the world incorporating Greek inspired interior design.
Greek Influence
Its clear as crystal water, dazzling natural backgrounds continue to attract modern architects and interior designers, offering a fresh and aesthetically pleasing range of design options. The Greeks continue to influence architecture and art, and have for thousands of years.

Feature: Colors
Greek homes typically display white washed walls, with beautiful bright blue decorated timber windows.



As discussed, the walls of a Greek influenced home are usually white washed and while they also look rough and rustic, the edges are typically soft and curved.

Feature: Flooring
Greek flooring is covered with natural stone made up of marble or limestone to produce a feel of nature in the home. Area carpets, which feature stripe like decorations, typically with flowers, trellis and traditional themes, are used rather than wall to wall carpeting. Combining this natural stone look with wood flooring really helps to give a home a rural look and feel.

Feature: Furnishings
Wooden furniture, such as support tables and stools, are popular with Greek-influenced styled homes. So when deciding on the furniture for your home, make sure it’s simple in design with elusive edges and rough materials.
