14. Whitewashing in Greek Design
Most Greek homes whitewash the brick facades both inside and outside their homes to reflect the summer sun to avoid Grecian summers’ harsh heat. In many common modern styles, consisting of industrial and rustic farmhouses, whitewashed brick has a lovely, rustic look that would be at home.
The best place to conduct a whitewashing project to refresh your space and add a summer Grecian vibe is an old brick fireplace surround. If you’ve been contemplating a statement wall, whitewashing is also a fantastic tip to make a wall pop.
