Ceilings, Floors and Walls
-
If your home doesn't already have features like stone, brick or exposed beams, try adding them or creating faux finishes that look similar. Paint walls with colors like yellows, greens, blues and shades inspired by brick and terracotta. Use medium-colored hardwoods, stone tiles or imitation laminate for the flooring.
Furniture
-
Furniture should be primarily medium to dark wood, with some cast iron or marble features to add texture. Open shelving and cabinet doors replaced with chicken wire help keep the rooms looking bright and open.
-
Kitchen and Bathrooms
-
Decorate the kitchen with bright dishes, copper pots, pasta in jars and an attractive wine display. Bathrooms should be primarily white with beige accents.
Accessories
-
Accessorize with wrought iron, blown glass and copper containers. Add warm, romantic lighting throughout your home.
Exterior
-
Terracotta roof tiles, clay planters and crumbling stone walls all reflect Tuscan landscaping. Include a marble statue or a courtyard fountain for an added touch.
