Few places in the world say so much about design as Italy. From buildings with impressive details that take you on a journey through centuries to the latest innovations in ceramics, furniture and interior accessories, all reflect a place where the past and the present are in the most visible harmony.

Thanks to the invitation of our partners, Piastrelle Casa, we visited the workshops and factories that always provide excellent products in the best time and manufacturing conditions. And when we found out that we would visit Milan and Verona together for 3 days, we knew that the experience would be a creative one. Italy still manages to surprise us, each time more beautifully and unexpectedly.

Thus, Milan awaited us with innovation in design, in the Gessi showroom – a showroom dedicated to sanitary ware. (http://www.gessi.it). Among bathtubs and bathroom faucets, spa solutions, each with an elegant and glam concept, we found an impressive room, designed to allow customers to experience the new and very creative style of the renowned Italian interior design.

Aster kitchen manufacturer (http://www.astercucine.it/eng/# ) has strengthened our belief that the place where most friendships are made is the kitchen. For this reason, we are so focused on completing this room down to the smallest detail in all our projects. The attention to detail that we find in all Italian showrooms has become the label enjoyed by this successful industry. And Aster produces furniture pieces whose finishes reach perfection, in natural wood combined with metal, which represents the newest line recently launched, simple but elegant. With furniture joints made at 45 degrees from the best materials in the world, the Italian manufacturer is a trendsetter in kitchen design.

The small town of Modenese hosts the Florim factory and showroom (http://www.florim.it/en/). Specialized in ceramic tiles and wall tiles with a design in simple, architectural lines, with stocks of over 35 million square meters, Florim is one of the Italian manufacturers recognized globally. Thanks to the impressive technology they have developed in creating ceramic solutions, they have integrated 4 different brands that tell their story in the most beautiful way.

Rex – http://www.rex-cerart.it/en/ is the luxury range, made of natural and precious materials, the range from which marble, leather, wood and stone cladding can be made. Each product used correctly creates a space full of style and elegance, a style that more and more designers are approaching in current projects.

Floor Gres: http://www.floorgres.it/en/, Cerim – http://www.cerim.it/en/, Casa dolce casa- http://cdccmd.florim.it/en/ are the additions to the layouts with solutions for simple, high-end residential projects in visual harmonies by combining natural materials of different textures and colors.

The ideal completion of a visit to Italy bears the Imola Ceramica signature, a place that defines itself as the perfect balance between innovation and tradition, as it was created from the beginning. The 141 years since the first ceramic tile was cast reflect the confirmation of an Italian success story. The chic showroom is the combination of two styles, modern design with old architecture, as we met some of the examples even among the homes in the area. The Italian factory produces unique, elegant models for post-industrial architecture in more than 3000 square meters. The journey in each room is a reinvention of the history of this place where any visitor can admire the transformation in stages and the renovation to which the 18th century glass factory was subjected into a contemporary space. Each room writes its own story as a passage through significant decades and historical periods and the visitor has the chance for a tactile experience in different forms. http://www.imolaceramica.com/en/

The last day welcomed us with the fresh and strong mountain air, in the city of love and Italy’s signature architecture. Verona, with its cobblestone streets and buildings dating back more than two centuries, with the success story built by the Italians around Juliet, was the completion of an impressive journey. And the ceramic tiles, floral exhibitions and design details are successfully implemented in every place you step in Verona. In perfect harmony, the past manages not to seem at all out of date in front of technological evolution and global trends, also set by the Italians.

All the products viewed and the entire experience takes shape today in the new Piastrelle Casashowroom. This showroom showcases new furniture and decor, while maintaining the variety and quality of ceramic products that have always impressed us.

After visiting sites like Pinterest.com or watching reality shows that focus on home remodeling, you may want to start your own interior design project. For this purpose, you will need an interior designer.

Before you begin this interior design project, it is important to ask yourself: realistically, can I successfully complete this project on my own or do I need to hire an interior designer?

If there is even a shred of doubt in your answer, consider consulting an interior designer for help. Too many people assume they can do it without the help of an interior designer, and the final results are expensive and even disappointing. With the help of a good interior designer, the result will far exceed expectations.

Below, you will find some reasons that will definitely convince you of the necessity of hiring an interior designer when it comes to your apartment interior design project.

Save Money

If you are planning to redecorate a single room or even your entire house, consider the possibility of overspending. At first, hiring an interior designer may seem like an unnecessary cost. Unfortunately, when you tackle an interior design project on your own, unbudgeted expenses will inevitably arise, exceeding the amount allocated to the project, ultimately resulting in a lot of extra expenses.

A good interior designer can help you have a clear vision for your project, including a well-established schedule and budget. With good drawings and technical specifications, an interior designer can ensure that your apartment or house interior design project will not have costly overruns and that the project will proceed on schedule, without major and unexpected changes.

Choosing the Best Option

In the interior design industry, there are an overwhelming number of options to choose from when determining the style and functionality of the space you are decorating. While it is good to have many options, it can be difficult to choose the best one for your budget, resources, and personal taste. An interior designer can help eliminate options that are not practical.

There are many technical considerations to take into account when designing your home’s interior, in addition to creating a beautiful and coherent look. From creating a concept and drawing up plans, to selecting the right materials and finishes, there is a wide range of options available on the market today, especially on the Internet. Selection can be difficult and expensive if the client makes the wrong choices of materials and installation, choices that lead to modifications and replacements. A good interior designer will spare you from these inconveniences, taking all these important aspects into account from the beginning.

Matching Decorative Elements

If you are intrigued by aspects such as – what colors you should use, what furniture styles would look best in your home or how to create an attractive and unified look throughout the house, you need the advice of an interior designer.

It is recommended to contact an interior designer from the very beginning of the architectural planning and design. When the plans are created, an interior designer can review the overall flow of the house, often offering advice on the optimal configuration of the kitchen and bathroom, as well as on achieving a truly optimized and functional home.

Projects Finished on Time

Are you in a time crunch with completing your apartment or house interior design project? This is an ideal situation to invest in an interior designer. Builders appreciate using an interior designer on a project due to their advanced abilities to control and streamline the client-builder-project relationship. Construction/design delays occur when clients can not decide on functions – finalizing plans, models, colors. An interior designer follows the pre-established schedule and leads their clients through the right channels, so that the builders can finish their work on time, without changes and delays in the interior design project.

Discover little-known resources

A good interior designer has access to a wide selection of products, materials and furniture, which are not available to the general public. For homeowners who want a unique setting, contacting an interior designer is the best way to achieve the desired result.

Ensure the best quality

Unless you have worked on electrical, plumbing, or construction projects, you are probably not familiar with quality standards and safety codes. An interior designer can verify the proper execution of the work so that you do not need to invest time and money in fixing errors that occur along the way.

A professional interior designer knows the construction process, thus being used to managing the builders and auxiliary teams. A good interior designer will schedule the deliveries of materials and goods according to the stages of the work. The interior designer will inspect the construction site to ensure that the work is proceeding according to plan. Last but not least, the technical specifications in the interior design project are respected.
