1. Linen
Whether it's in the form of bedding (our newest colorway Paprika works perfectly), tableware, sleepwear, or dresses, linen is key to this summery look. Red is the central tone to embrace, but this trend also leans on limoncello, olive, whites, soft blues, sage, and burnt orange.
2. Ceramics
Ceramics contribute to the overall Mediterranean aesthetic by adding warmth, colour, and texture. Opt for vases and objet d'art to elevate your home and bring in some personality.
3. Summer serveware
Dreamy long lunches are key to the 'Tomato Girl' vibe, and it's all about creating an aesthetic that's relaxed, chic, and decidedly Med. Look for bright summer glassware and ceramic dinner plates with painted food motifs, such as our 'Tomatoes' plate.

4. Embrace Mediterranean foods
Consider incorporating elements of Mediterranean cuisine into your home, such as displaying fresh fruits, olive oil bottles, and Italian wine bottles. You could even showcase a collection of Mediterranean-inspired cookbooks in your kitchen or whip up some delicious Italian dishes like our Cavatelli With Green Sauce, Pangrattato and Burrata and Baked Ricotta with Basil Pesto and Confit Cherry Tomatoes.
5. Embrace summer motifs
From art prints to dresses, homewares and fashion adorned in Mediterranean motifs are a surefire way to achieve the look. Think vintage floral prints, summer vegetables, seafood, fruits like lemons, and nautical patterns.
