Mediterranean-style homes are hallmarked by their distinctive terracotta roofs, mosaic tiles, archways, balconies and earthy tones; usually found in warmer climates due to the home’s ability to stay inherently cool.  

In this article, Est Living explores how the Mediterranean lifestyle translates outdoors in an Australian setting by enlisting the assistance of furniture expert KING and their enduring outdoor collection. 

The Luna Outdoor Chair in rock beautifully merges and anchors indoor and outdoor living zones.

Merge Indoor & Outdoor Spaces

Mediterranean-style architecture often obscures the threshold between inside and outside, primarily via doorways linked with seemingly endless terracotta floor tiles. Here, high steel framed doors saturate living spaces with natural light, creating a strong connection with nature. The Luna Outdoor Chair in rock plays to the steel frame accents, anchoring the indoor-outdoor connection. 

Pictured above is the Jasper Sofa in Portland Silver and Aspen Dining Chairs in Bronte Natural Fabric and American Walnut timber finish.

Large arched doorways allow the indoors to seamlessly unfold to the outdoor living and pool area. This is further accentuated by the shared design language between the indoor furniture – the Jasper Sofa and the Aspen Dining Chairs – and the outdoor collection. 

The Aspen Dining Chairs are designed for entertaining, with comfort at their core. The dining setting creates just the spot for a long lunch while still being able to watch kids in the pool. 

Indoors meets outdoors. Featuring King Cove Reclining Sun Lounges, Oasis Pedestal Side Table, Cassia Barstools, and Luna Outdoor Chairs.

King Cove Reclining Sun Lounges in Maldives White, the Oasis Pedestal Side Table in Dawn, and Lode Ottomans in Maldives White and Malibu Seafoam complete the poolside relaxation zone.

Potted Gardens

A restrained, low-maintenance garden filled with oversized potted plants, lavender and cool tiles underfoot convey a sun-soaked Tuscan-inspired atmosphere. Creating a contextual place to appreciate the Mediterranean-inspired garden, the Quay Outdoor Sofa is soft to the touch but resistant to the elements with its high-performance outdoor fabric cushion covers. The Oasis Pedestal Tables are a functional addition for food and aperitifs while creating a flexible outdoor living arrangement. 

The Quay Outdoor Sofa in Malibu Surf fabric with KingRope in Dawn, and the Oasis Pedestal Tables in Waterfall become an extension of the indoor living space.

Luna Outdoor Chairs in Rock and Oasis Inset Coffee Table in Dusk provide an ideal setting for compact spaces.

Shaded Nooks for Escaping the Sun

Without large-scale shady trees, pergolas and patios make for an ideal retreat to escape the sun in a Mediterranean-inspired setting. The Luna Outdoor Chairs and Oasis Inset Coffee Table in neutral tones complete the inviting shaded alcove.
