How to Make a Stucco Home More Tuscan

Stucco is a rough, textured material used to cover the exterior of homes. The mud substance is common in Tuscan decorating. Whether inside or outside, there are particular decor options to give a new home or stucco covering an Old World or Tuscan appearance. Always consider the costs of the individual suggestions before executing; some options may not fit into your decorating budget.

Instructions

- 1
  Paint the stucco a warm, vibrant color. Tuscan decorating involves warm browns, yellows and reds. Shades of orange are also included. Begin with a coat of primer and roll on paint with a long-haired paint roller to access all the small bumps and lumps of the stucco.
- 2
  Install thick wooden window frames. In Tuscan decorating, wood timbers and thick block wood pieces are essential to the decor. Paint the wood frames a shade or two darker than the stucco for accentuation.
- 3
  Add wood shutters. Vertical slat shutters will add additional wood to the stucco and give more of an Old World village appearance to the home.
- 4
  Hang an over-size wood and wrought-iron door. Widen the door frame if needed. Large, heavy wooden doors are part of Tuscan decor.
