Tuscany Interior Design

Are you inspired by the rich warmth of Tuscany Interior Design? This Style started to become popular in Main Stream Interiors nearly a decade ago. The movie "Under a Tuscan Sun" introduced many people to the Historic Richness and Rustic Warmth that epitomizes this Timeless Style. Very "trendy" a few years ago Tuscany Style Interiors have become a Classic Form of Design that seems to inspire "Romantics" and "Wine Lovers" alike! The following list are some of the major elements that are can bring the Tuscany Countryside into your Home.

  • Deep, Warm Colors such as Gold, Terracotta and Wine
  • Rich Textural Wall Finishes such as Plaster and Stucco
  • Rustic Wood Plank, Antiqued Stone or Porcelain Tile Floors
  • A Mixture of Tapestry Fabrics in Various Colors and Textures
  • Mixing Different Pieces of Furniture in Medium to Darker Woods
  • Soft Lighting with Table Lamps, Torchieres, Candles and Lanterns
  • Sheer and Airy Window Treatments in Linen or Gauze Fabrics
Imagine a room painted in a rich golden hue with a rustic stone fireplace. Soft afternoon sunshine streams through the windows. In front of the fireplace is a bulky, old, plank style, dining table. Slightly more formal, high back, dining chairs dressed in tapestry surround the rustic table. A pair of large candelabras with flickering candles are placed on the table with big old wood bowl in the center overflowing with grapes, oranges and apples. Think about how these wonderful design elements can bring the feel of Tuscany Inspired Design into your own Home and the magnificent rolling hills of the Italian Countryside into your Heart! ! !
