Tuscan decor is a simple, yet rich decor, inspired by the old-world charm of Tuscany. This Italian aesthetic incorporates the rustic elements and earthy tones of the surrounding areas blended with classic lines and innovative design.

One appealing facet of Tuscan decor is its dedication to incorporating both indoor and outdoor aesthetics. The feel and look of lush vineyards and hearty soils are brought into the home through color and design.

Another element within Tuscan design is its optimum use of smaller spaces. Objects and structures are all within close proximity to one another. This use of space allows for a common simplicity and softening of light among Tuscan homes and buildings.

The ambiance of Tuscany is reproduced through the lighting, which captures the charm of an outdoor bistro coffee area or an evening of wine tasting in the garden. Newer styles leave windows uncovered, as natural light is more important to this style of design than to others. Above all else, these rooms invoke a warm, but open, airy feeling.

Tuscan design revolves mainly around these areas in the home:

• Walls and ceilings - Very often the walls in a Tuscan home are painted with a soft white or grayish color. These colors are embellished by the use of natural items like stone and wood. Ceilings play a large part in decorating with Tuscan decor. These ceilings often are made up of a dark, heavy wood, invoking natural elements to the room.

• Furniture- Furniture is typically very simple. It includes straight lines and sharp corners. It also is made of an unfinished, rugged wood in an effort to promote the outdoor ambience into the home.

• Floors- Timber in a Tuscan decor home could go from floor to ceiling. Wooden floors are the most attractive and intriguing elements to these homes. The wooden floors are usually made up of wide wooden planks that are unfinished and create their own kind of mood. The floors are solidly built, but not completely finished in order to keep a old-world charm throughout the home. Some floors, however, are shaped from smooth stones, which again invoke the rustic moods of Tuscany.
