Tuscany style decor is sometimes characterized as "villa interior decorating style." It is filled with rustic charm and old world style. There are a few staples of villa interior decorating that can transform your home from a sterile suburban style to a warm, wonderful Tuscan villa.

Natural Stone

Natural stone tiles are one key to achieving the villa interior decorating look. Dimensional stone is cut to a certain size, with straight edges and right angles, while natural stone is set in slabs with rough, natural edges. Flooring should be marble or limestone, with granite kitchen countertops.

Natural Wood

Warm wood is generously added to every villa interior decorating project. Dark beams adorn walls and ceilings, and heavy furniture looks as if it's been passed down from generation to generation. Nothing in a villa looks new, so nothing in your villa interior should have a new look, including the wood,

Wrought Iron

Heavy iron accents are an integral element of the villa interior decorating style. Iron shows up on staircase railings, cabinet hardware, door hardware, lamps, candlesticks, and other accessories. Like the natural wood and stone, the iron takes its charm from its aged look.

Colors

Sun washed terra cotta walls are a staple of villa interior decorating design. To achieve this look, spread a skim coat of plaster or drywall compound over your walls. Don't worry about getting everything smooth a rough coat is better than a smooth coat.

Next, choose two paint colors, one light and one dark, from the same paint chip card. Look for colors in warm earth tones. Purchase enough dark paint to paint the room and a quart of the light paint.

Paint the entire freshly plastered room in the dark paint color. Mix the light color with water or glaze in a proportion of one part paint to three parts glaze. After the dark coat dries, brush the lighter coat on, then dab at the surface of the paint with a damp rag, spreading the color wash and removing it at the same time. When you are satisfied with on small area, move on to a new area. Finish the walls off with a coat of satin polyurethane.

Villa interior decorating combines sun-washed colors, natural stone, iron, and wood. Carry the theme outdoors with cypress trees, urns, and fountains in a Mediterranean setting. Incorporate these elements into your decor, and you can transform your suburban tract house into an Italian villa. And don't forget the perfect Italian accessory a bottle of hearty red wine.
