Our essence is soulfully balanced interiors that pair individuality, simplicity and sanctuary with a connection to the elements, such as using the soft shades of the Mediterranean Sea or the rustic textures of the olive tree outside.

So, when we started this project, we took into consideration a number of things including what the client had in mind but also what the history of the house and its surroundings tell us.

We like to say that an espanyolet house is one that grows from the roots of its surroundings…

We started by curating a color palette that drew from the natural world outside and brought it in; one of neutral earthy tones and pastels. We chose natural & handmade materials like wood and wicker and rattan and linen to impart soft textures, work in concert with the existing dark wood and give that light “vacation” feel to everything.

At every step of our interior design process, we sought to infuse the home with a distinct Mediterranean feel. But, what exactly does it mean to “live Mediterranean”? You feel it.

It’s open-plan living, where lunches are eaten with your fingers and flow from the kitchen to the terrace to the fig tree and back.

It’s a favorite old chair, perfectly angled to drink in the morning sunlight with your cortado. It’s a picnic basket, a linen throw and the scent of pine trees on a warm day.

This simple act of being present in life’s pleasures is the essence of an espanyolet home.

In the bedrooms, we embraced warm, textural neutrals that create a serene and inviting atmosphere. We added pops of Mediterranean color – think vibrant sea blues, subtle olive greens and rich terracottas – to bring a lively yet harmonious contrast to the tranquil backdrop.

These accents not only evoke the surrounding landscape but also add a touch of Mediterranean charm and softness to the spaces.

The combination of subtle textures and muted, warm colors ensures that space feels like a cozy, yet fresh sanctuary.

Our kitchen redesign focused on continuing to capture the essence of Mediterranean aesthetics, achieved through the use of rough (yet refined) wood cabinetry and locally sourced Binissalem stone countertops.

The rough-hewn wood, with its natural knots and grain patterns, brought a rustic sophistication to the cabinetry, infusing the space with warmth and character. In contrast, the Binissalem stone countertop, known for its durability and distinctive earthy hues, added a touch of Mediterranean elegance and practicality.

Together, these materials created a kitchen environment that felt open, airy, and effortlessly connected to its surroundings, evoking the light-filled tranquility of Mediterranean coastal homes.

For the bathrooms, our idea was to marry warmth with understated elegance. We brought in soft beige hues as the base for each of the bathrooms, creating a backdrop that was both clean and sophisticated.

Rattan accents, delicately woven into mirrors and light fixtures, introduced an element of coastal-inspired craftsmanship, infusing the space with a sense of handcrafted luxury. Meanwhile, the use of local stone, meticulously crafted into sinks, provided a grounding presence that celebrated Mallorca’s natural bounty while adding a raw, earthy texture to the overall aesthetic.
