Lifestyle and decor: 10 key trends this year

We propose an approach that goes beyond following design trends, focusing on the principles that bring character to each project: the historical context and the identity of each building. We create unique spaces that connect with the history of the place and its evolution.

Why this approach?

· Context Assessment: To reform is to respect the history and environment of the building, adding cultural and emotional value.

· Differentiation: We integrate the history of the building with contemporary design, creating a dialogue between the past and the present.

· Emotional Connection: Customers are looking for more than functionality; they want a place with identity and character.

· Sustainability: Preserving what exists is not only aesthetically valuable, but also sustainable, reducing environmental impact.

· Spaces with Purpose: To reform is to preserve the essence of the place while giving it a new purpose, creating unique homes.

We focus on the principles that give character to each project: the historical context and the unique identity of each building.

Lifestyle and Decoration: Reflections on the Essential and the Timeless

Decor and lifestyle are constantly evolving, but beyond fashion, there is a return to the fundamentals: the deep connection with the environment, sustainability and well-being. This year, design trends not only reflect superficial changes, but also a desire to create spaces that resonate with the essence of the place, that cherish the link with nature and that adapt to new ways of living. Next, we explore 10 approaches that not only define the present, but invite us to reconsider our relationship with space and time.

1. Sustainability as a Foundational Element

Sustainability is essential in contemporary design. It's not just about choosing natural materials, but about integrating them respectfully with the local environment. Elements created by hand and of local origin enrich the space and reduce environmental impact.

2. Colors of the Earth, Colors of Time

Neutral and earthy tones, such as beige and soft gray, create serene environments and connect the interior with nature. Deep accents, such as emerald green or blue, complement this unimposed connection.

3. Simplicity as an Act of Respect

The Japandi style, which fuses Japanese and Scandinavian design, focuses on purity and functionality, using natural materials and clean lines to create harmony in spaces.

4. Technology at the Service of Human Space

The technology integrates discreetly and functionally, improving comfort without interfering with the home atmosphere. Home automation and smart devices optimize the space experience.

5. Nature as an Integral Part of the Home

Indoor plants and solutions such as vertical gardens create continuity with nature, improving air quality and bringing well-being to the home.

6. The Flexibility of Space in Contemporary Living

Multifunctional furniture, such as desks that turn into tables or sofas that transform spaces, respond to the need for adaptability in modern life.

7. Art that Inhabits Space

Art becomes an extension of the identity of the home. Unique, personalized pieces bring meaning and emotional depth to spaces.

8. Textures that Invite You to Feel

Materials such as velvet, linen and wool not only offer luxury, but they create a warm and inviting atmosphere, inviting relaxation.

9. The Exterior as a Continuity of the Interior

Outdoor spaces are designed as a natural extension of the interior, with comfortable furniture and plants that create a smooth transition between the two.

10. Biophilic Design: A Return to the Essentials

Biophilic design integrates natural elements such as light, plants and organic materials, promoting an environment that promotes physical and emotional well-being.
