Esther ValeroAt home, we need to feel comfortable and relaxed. Our home environment must not only reflect our personality but must also be able to project what we want to be, and, for that, there are multiple tools at our disposal, regarding both the objects we choose for decorating and the materials that define the look and touch of the surfaces surrounding us. On this occasion, we wish to share the main trends in surfaces and finishes for 2022 and outline which proposals from Esmalglass are the most suitable so that you have all you need at hand for a 10-star home.
Towards the natural
Concern about our impact on the planet and sustainability is reflected in design trends in the home. These involve interiors highlighting materials of natural origin or those which help us connect with nature, for their textures as well as for their shapes and colours. Sandy textures and tones are growing in importance, and, together with organic materials like wood, organic fabrics and the presence of plants, help create spaces full of harmony.
Thanks to solutions like Shape-ink, with the aid of digital processes, we can offer materials with reliefs similar to stone or wood, and, with Shape-glass’ properties, we can add a glossy finish that enhances the definition and depth of the relief, to obtain surfaces that evoke natural spaces.

Eclecticism to obtain energy
The home is the ideal spot for recharging your batteries and, just as there are people who restore their energy by being surrounded by minimalism, there are also those people who seek inspiration in vibrant colours and designs full of life in their more personal space. Having said that, this trend is far from chaotic as it manages to find the perfect balance by combining functional harmonious furniture with an array of colours on surfaces that provide dynamism and texture to spaces through original designs.
To create the type of space that transmits optimism and joy, our best option is Sinking-Ink, which permits the production of tiles with differentiated designs and colours, helping to create rooms with their own personality.
Luxury without excess
The concept of luxury has evolved. We are no longer aiming for things that are striking, but rather what is elegant, functional and sustainable. With this trend, high-resistance natural materials stand out. Materials that are worked with great care in order to get lasting results with a lesser impact on the environment, as well as a dark colour range combined with metallic objects that convey sophistication in every corner.
Finishes like the one offered by Esmalglass with Grits is inspired in the sand in volcanic zones bathed by the ocean waves, creating a sensation of peace and warmth, connecting the inside of the home with the wilderness while also bringing character and elegance.
Which of the trends is your pick?
