Valencia combines a Mediterranean climate with a large stock of Ensanche buildings: apartments with three-meter ceilings, mosaic tile floors, and balconies facing the street. In summer, temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius are normal, and heating is rarely used in winter.
Mosaic Tiles are the Star, Not the Substrate
The historic cement tiles feature patterns and colors. Furniture placed above them should remain understated, otherwise two patterns will compete. Solid-colored upholstery, clean lines, and a rug without a pattern, which allows the tiles to remain visible at the edges, work best.
Heat Means Air
At over 35 degrees Celsius, dense upholstery is uncomfortable. Wicker, airy fabrics, and furniture on legs are more pleasant than closed carcasses >> Rattan. Air-conditioned rooms dry out the air, which can stress solid wood, so veneer is the calmer choice here too.
The Balcony Counts
Between April and October, the balcony serves as living space. Two chairs and a side table are usually sufficient; shade is more important. Anything placed outdoors should be UV-resistant, as the sun on the east coast is intense.
