Curtains, Rugs and Lighting for a Mediterranean Climate

Control sun without losing daylight

Separate sheer and blackout layers provide soft daytime light and privacy at night. Use UV-resistant, easy-care fabrics on south and west elevations and avoid lengths that obstruct air-conditioning.

Consider rug care and airflow

Low-pile, easy-vacuum textures suit busy areas. The size should visually connect the seating group while allowing the floor to air during humid periods.

Do not rely on one pendant

Combine ambient light with reading, task and accent lighting. Warm white works well in living areas, while preparation and work surfaces need stronger illumination.
