Esther ValeroThe decoration of the spaces where we daily lives play out is getting more and more important, and directly affects our wellbeing. This is why it is essential that we adapt it to our tastes and needs, to make sure that our home is a place where not only are we comfortable, but we are happy as well. When deciding how we want our rooms to look, it is worth knowing the latest trends to find some inspiration and chose what satisfies us most.
Nordic style
As far as design is concerned, Nordic countries have always been a reference for their timeless and minimalist style. The matte finishes on surfaces, soft to the touch, and a colour palette that helps spread luminosity throughout the rooms are the norm. Clay walls are the ideal option, due to their naturalness and sustainability, as well as perfectly combining with furniture based on natural textures, like stone or wood, which, in addition, afford a slightly rustic touch.
Trip to the past
Getting inspiration from times gone by is likewise a growing trend, particularly if the inspiration comes from the seventies. Bright colours afford spaces personality, with the aid of painted walls, striking, curvy furniture or ceramic tiles that combine with vintage elements and geometrical patterns. It is common for elements in different materials to coexist in both the furniture and decorative elements.
Industrial touch
The industrial style combines perfectly with this new era in which the home is also becoming a place of work. Characterised by broad spaces defined by functionality in their furniture, framed by exposed brick walls or with a stone-like texture in which wooden and metal furniture are one of their distinctive features. To add a touch of luxury, the trick is knowing how to use bronze-coloured elements and mirrors with metallic details in key spots in the main rooms.
Nature in the home
Returning to what is natural is more than just a social trend. It is also a trend in design. The organic becomes a fundamental element in the space of these homes, creating the perfect symbiosis between natural light and the presence of plants and furniture made from materials that recall the outside space such as wood, stone and clay. The aim is to find a balance in the home between a context increasingly marked by technology and nature, through elements that allow you to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with Mother Nature, with spaces bathed in natural light or indoor gardens.
Ideally, you should find the style that best suits your personality and adapt the space to this style with the right furniture for each room, and then, make the most of it.
