The warmth of the sun, the freshness of the sea and the serenity of natural materials define the Mediterranean style. This timeless aesthetic has become a favourite for those seeking to design bright, relaxed spaces that feel connected to nature. In this article, we show you how to bring the essence of the south into your home using large-format surfaces such as Arklam porcelain – combining beauty, durability and functionality in a single material.

What is the Mediterranean style?


The Mediterranean style takes inspiration from the coastal homes of southern Europe – Italy, Greece and Spain – and is characterised by:

  • Light, neutral colours: white, sand, beige, sky blue.
  • Natural materials: stone, wood, terracotta.
  • Open, airy, light-filled spaces.
  • A smooth transition between indoors and outdoors.
  • Surfaces with a hand-crafted or natural appearance, such as marble or limestone.


Arklam: porcelain that captures the Mediterranean spirit


Large-format Arklam porcelain is ideal for creating Mediterranean-inspired spaces thanks to:

  • Soft, natural shades that evoke stone, marble or pale wood.
  • Matte or softly polished finishes that add elegance while retaining warmth.
  • Exceptional resistance to sunlight, water and wear, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
  • A wide variety of formats and textures, ideal for floors, walls, worktops and terraces.


Ideas for bringing Mediterranean style into your home with Arklam

1. Bright, white terraces

Clad your terrace floor with limestone- or sand-effect porcelain to create a fresh, spacious feel. Pair it with light textiles, terracotta pots and natural wood for a perfectly balanced look.

2. Open kitchens with a Mediterranean soul

Opt for marble- or stone-effect kitchen worktops with soft veining (such as Arklam Statuario or Sahara Noir Soft) and combine them with light wood and white tiles for the perfect blend of tradition and modernity.

3. Bathrooms that evoke the sea

Use large-format coverings for bathroom countertops and other surfaces in light hues with textured or matte finishes reminiscent of water-worn marble. The result is an elegant, relaxing space.

4. Seamless indoor–outdoor transitions

Arklam makes it possible to use the same material inside and out – perfect for achieving that Mediterranean sense of continuity and connection with the natural surroundings.

Sustainable, long-lasting design

Beyond its beauty, Arklam porcelain is a sustainable choice: its durability reduces the need for frequent replacements and its low-maintenance qualities make it ideal for warm, sunny climates.

You don’t need to live by the sea to embrace Mediterranean style. With the right materials – such as Arklam sintered porcelain – you can recreate that atmosphere of calm, natural beauty and freshness that defines southern European homes.
