Italian homes are characterized by a natural appearance – stone, slate and granite are used throughout the interior on countertops and accent walls. Terracotta tiles and ornately detailed mosaic tiles are used in backsplashes to bring an accent of bright color to the distinguished old world space. This style incorporates open spaces with over-sized windows that allow the outdoors to show through and is mirrored by assortments of potted greenery inside. Ornate wrought iron is frequently used on banisters, balconies and fencings. For this contest you are designing a living room.
