Helping you create a fabulous interior design for your home in Greece
Relocating to Greece is a thrilling adventure, filled with the promise of stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and a unique Mediterranean lifestyle. As you embark on this journey, one of the most exciting tasks ahead is transforming your new residence into a home that embodies both your personal style and the timeless elegance of Greek interior design. However, it can also be a little daunting.
My name is Julie (JC to my friends), I am a successful British international interior designer, and I recently returned to Greece after many years in London. Having worked on luxury interior design projects across three continents I have an excellent understanding of the high standards that international clients expect. Speaking fluent Greek, and understanding the local culture and work ethic also puts me in a great position to help you with the interior design of your new Greek home. To check out my work and experience, visit my website www.jcinteriordesign.com.
I started this blog to help everyone relocating to Greece, or already resident here create a unique and beautiful home. Our homes reflect our personalities and should bring us joy. They are also our sanctuaries and this can be particularly important when we move to a new country. So if you are moving to Greece, JC's Guide to Beautiful Greek Interiors is here to help you create your own fabulous Greek interior design.
Basic Greek Interior Design Principles
Whether you're settling into a charming city apartment in Athens, a coastal villa in Mykonos, or a rustic countryside home in Crete, embracing the principles of Greek chic can help you create a space that is both beautiful and functional, without it becoming a pastiche. Greek interior design is characterised by its use of natural materials, a soothing colour palette, and a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. It’s about creating spaces that are light, airy, and inviting, where the indoors and outdoors flow seamlessly together, and I will go into this in more detail in future blogs.
From the iconic blue and white hues that echo the Aegean Sea and the traditional Cycladic architecture, to the warm earth tones and textures that reflect the Greek landscape, there are endless ways to infuse your new home with the spirit of Greece and incorporate your cultural identity, whether you are buying or renting.
Interior Design when Buying in Greece
If you're buying a new build property in Greece, or planning a renovation, personalise your home with items that reflect your culture, and taste. Learn how to source cost effective, high quality, eco friendly local materials where possible, or how best to incorporate second kitchens or washlet toilets seamlessly into new builds and historic renovations if that is your preference. Talking to your professionals about how you live and setting realistic time lines, together with good communication are the keys to making this a great experience, not a nightmare. I will be giving specific interior design advice for everyone buying in Greece in the next few weeks. If you would like my advice and sent directly to your email please subscribe
