Here are some essential Mediterranean design characteristics:
Colorful tile, solid glazed or hand-painted in royal blues, oranges, and vivid colors found in nature Textures such as rustic wood or terra cotta Verdigris (copper, brass, or bronze patina) Cobblestones Shaded or sheltered areas, often covered in vines Plants that are softly colored and blow in the breeze such as ornamental grasses or lavenders Drought-tolerant and native landscaping Olive or citrus trees, in-ground or potted—especially lemon Details such as urns, fountains, or arches Low walls that do not obstruct views
You’ll find many of these features and more as you tour these Mediterranean gardens with stunning swimming pools, both big and small.
