We love how the flooring contrasts the white-painted home exterior, along with the green window, proving that the Spanish revival trend is as versatile as it is trendy.
According to experts, incorporating the Spanish revival trend into the outside of a home is a fantastic way to create an oasis in the front or back of a property.
‘Spanish revival homes often feature courtyards or outdoor living spaces, which offer yet another opportunity to get playful with bold accents,’ says designer Nina Lichtenstein. ‘A set of cobalt blue outdoor dining chairs around a rustic wooden table, or vibrant blue and white patterned cushions scattered across a tiled patio, can inject a sense of fun and energy into the outdoor area without detracting from the home’s architectural integrity.’
Lichtenstein continues, ‘Additionally, consider incorporating blue planters or ceramic pots to introduce color while staying true to the natural, earthy feel of a Spanish revival garden. These accents not only add personality but also echo the Mediterranean roots of the aesthetic, where blue is often found in both indoor and outdoor spaces.’
When implementing Spanish revival-inspired decor inside the home, however, Lichtenstein says that accents are key to keeping the design feel cohesive.
‘When introducing bold elements like blue furniture, it’s important to keep the foundation of the room true to the Spanish revival aesthetic,’ she says. ‘Arched doorways, wrought iron detailing, and terracotta tiles are hallmarks of this style and provide a rich, textural backdrop for bolder accents to shine. Incorporating blue into the furniture or decor—whether in the form of a statement armchair, striking dining chairs, or a large blue area rug—allows these features to pop against the otherwise neutral, warm palette. For instance, a blue accent wall can act as a dramatic focal point behind a classic wrought iron bed frame or exposed wooden beams. The contrast between the cool tones of the blue and the warmth of the traditional materials creates a dynamic and engaging space that feels both timeless and playful.’
