The last months of 2016 bring interiors featuring elements that tell a story of authenticity and timelessness, all while remaining understated. We remain present in the realm of geometric shapes in fabrics, artisan glass and precious metals, pastel shades and patterns that resemble marble. Most of the color trends contain varieties of blue, including the much-loved turquoise, grays, indigo and gold.

2015 was undoubtedly the “year of copper” in interiors, the year that entitled it “the metal of the moment”, but 2016 brought a touch of refinement through well-chosen pieces as accents that create a glamorous look. It is the sophisticated, rich in surfaces and colors interiors period. Rooms can be created from a palette of one or two colors and, rather than an unnecessary overuse of furniture elements, each piece will be a style statement. Models borrowed from the fashion world, with tropical prints, remain inspired choices this fall.

There has been a real movement towards using geometric patterns in flooring, in a range of materials, from painted wood tiles to ceramic or cement. Whether we’re talking about bold black and white or the full spectrum of colors, these extremely creative solutions are in the spotlight this year-end! But let’s not forget about nostalgic ideas from the design industry. We will see the return of traditional layouts, prints but also unusual floral prints, from bouquets to bold leaf patterns.

This season’s trend is to flirt with simplicity, natural materials, uncluttered spaces, artisanal objects and basic shapes. In a world of overconsumption and quantity over quality, this seems to represent a welcome change that will thrive in the coming years.

Let’s not forget that interior decorations will always borrow ideas from fashion industry trends. What could be more beautiful than a home that looks exactly like you.

For us, the most beautiful and creative project is decorating a child’s room. This is the project you fall in love with at first sight, where every detail matters, and every choice is made with care. And all this because the little ones deserve a place of their own, a place that reflects their personality even from an early age.

We have gathered a series of reliable ideas for you, which we usually apply in our projects. The little ones have proven to be extremely happy every time .

• Create a universe just for them, where every corner meets their style and preferences;
  
• Children need space, both for playing and for sleeping. Most of the beds we purchase for the little ones are large enough;
  
• If they have a passion, try to incorporate it into the room design in different ways, from personalized wallpaper, to details and accessories;
  
• Personalizing the bed is another example that we love, especially if we talk about creating a headboard with affordable materials;

There are many examples for designing the perfect room for our children, but our most valuable advice is: be as creative as possible! It is probably the only room where you can, at least for a little while, be children again.

We are super lucky and this cannot remain only for us! Why wouldn’t we share with you a beautiful dream, about magical places that everyone dreams of transforming into real places. It’s about our attics, much loved and popular, though not achieved overnight, we would say. We can even say unequivocally, an attic never comes alone!

We have always loved attics, but until recently they were not a priority for their owners, until they found an opportunity in them that they could exploit, whether in a classic, Scandinavian, industrial or French style. We like them all, we decorate each space with passion and find utility in everything. That is who we are and therefore, our projects also take on a form that we cannot keep secret.

If you have an attic and until recently you kept it as a secret, we tell you to reconsider. It can become an excellent storage space, a different office, flooded with light, or a playground for the little ones. We’re also thinking about the latter option because, we confess, when we were kids, our attic was a secret space we weren’t allowed to invade, yet it was always where we hid after school.

A room that will soon become an office, with iron lamps with industrial accents and a desk with plenty of natural light.

A recompartmented playroom after the remodeling project, with stickers stuck on one of the walls and a library ready to host lots of games and books worthy of a young teenager.

The owners needed storage space, so we designed an attic where the story is written by the play of lighting objects and the colors given by the leather armchairs and rugs.

When Pantone decided that 2016 would be about two colors, not just one, imagine our joy. Especially since Rose Quartz and Serenity are so special and easy to integrate into any room’s design.

From textures, wall colors, and accessories, this year will undoubtedly be full of challenges…CREATIVE!

Our minds take us to countless places, from the beach house, so simple but with striking accessories, to our grandmother’s old furniture that holds so many memories.

The advantage of these two colors in any home interior is that, both together and separately, they bring a touch of tranquility and synergy to the contemporary world so full of challenges. You can combine them with white or dark gray shades but also with / or in graphic patterns to create a contrast.

Also, consider integrating them into your home design for a touch of uniqueness, which leads to obtaining a design beyond the conventional. A curtain in shades of Rose Quartz velvet, a handmade rug that combines both colors with playful patterns can be exactly the sophisticated touches a home needs, but also solutions to give the impression of a larger space to certain rooms.

When it comes to furniture, our preferences lean towards the velvet sofa or armchair that you can easily integrate into any decor as accent pieces or towards a specific element, such as a coffee table or chest of drawers, designed to complement a design with notes of refinement and sensitivity.

Both Rose Quartz (shade 13-1520) and Serenity Blue (15-3919) are an interior designer’s delight and for these wonderful choices we can only say “Thank you, Pantone!”.
