Mediterranean kitchens are influenced by the decor of the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, namely Spain, Italy and Greece. These designs vary but typically contain colors influenced by the sea, sky and earth including blue and green and soft, earthy coral and terra cotta accents. Mediterranean cabinet doors often include organic shapes such as arched top rails and bullnose or ogee edges as well as open louver doors that allow air to circulate through the cabinet. Radius doors also work well in Mediterranean design. Mosaic tile and painted-tile backsplashes with blue, green, terra cotta and yellow patterns are common.
