The coastal style and the modern mediterranean style are the two most popular holiday interior design trends, thanks to which you will keep the atmosphere of seaside resorts for longer. A well-arranged space can make you feel like you are on holiday every day when you come home. The key is a harmonious combination of bright colours, natural textures and well-chosen doors that emphasise the summer character of the arrangement.

Coastal style and modern mediterranean – how to tell them apart?

Both interior styles share a holiday character, but above all they differ in colour scheme. Coastal-style interiors are bright and visually light, while modern mediterranean interiors are warmer and kept in earthy shades.

Coastal arrangements use shades of white, sand colours and subtle blues, which makes the interior appear light and spacious, immediately evoking seaside resorts. The modern mediterranean style, in turn, is more saturated and cosy, inspired by southern architecture, dominated by beiges, terracotta, olive green and natural wood colours. Both styles can be used in an interior separately or successfully combined, e.g. in several rooms of the house, achieving the effect of a holiday atmosphere all year round.

What doors suit interiors in the mediterranean style?

Go for beiges, delicate browns, olive green and muted blues.

These colours bring calm and naturalness into the space, creating an atmosphere inspired by Mediterranean resorts. In the mediterranean style, the contrast between light walls and wooden elements works perfectly, which is why doors in natural wood colours are a bullseye. They can have a finish in a warm shade of wood that perfectly matches beiges, off-whites and delicate browns on the walls. What is more, in the latest DRE catalogue you will find a wide range of classic door models, as well as modern leaves in décors inspired by earth tones, for example in the dark olive matt or dark blue matt finish. In interiors arranged in the mediterranean style, doors from the latest Rezzo collection will work perfectly, available in a wide range of finishes – from natural wood to matt colours of green, white, cashmere and blue. Their minimalist form is broken by subtle black grooves, which create distinctive graphic layouts and introduce an interesting decorative element into the arrangement.

How to choose doors for interiors in the coastal style?

Go for doors in a light, subtle finish and for glazing that will brighten the space and visually enlarge it.

In coastal-style interiors, minimalism and simplicity are what matter, which is why doors with smooth surfaces and pastel décors work perfectly. It is worth paying attention to door leaves in a light wood colour (e.g. in the Dąb Grand décor) or in a classic white finish. The delicate wood grain brings cosiness to the interior and pairs well with light furniture and wicker accessories. If you care about brightening the rooms, choose doors with glazing, for example from the Volta collection. It is available in elegant, matt finishes, from white and cashmere to shades of green and blue. What is more, it is possible to order an additional side panel, i.e. an inactive leaf 40 cm wide, as well as fluted glass. Doors from the Volta collection subtly brighten the interior and visually enlarge it, which makes them an excellent choice for coastal-style arrangements.
