The way we live, work and interact with each other socially and professionally has changed in recent years. The house is no longer exclusively a private area, as it simultaneously serves as a workshop, film set, and office. It has become an adaptable space that can perform many functions – and this must be taken into account when planning new spaces for living and working. We have collected the most relevant tips from professionals on how to make your home beautiful and comfortable.
Add tactile details
“Tactile features, such as small imperfections on the surface of a piece, add charm and personality,” said Brahman Perera, an Australian designer. — I prefer to saturate the interior with decorative details, made by hand or using handicraft equipment. It could be artisan door hardware and bathroom accessories.”
And use natural stone
“I would say that in the future we will see more and more marble. However, it should be used appropriately and accurately, and not as a flippant gimmick. This material must be approached thoughtfully. My method is use, not abuse,” advises Tamsin Johnson.
Clearly define work and play spaces
Le Corbusier wrote that a house is a machine for life a century ago, and this approach is more relevant than ever because we are talking about the fact that the house provides for the needs of modern life. Designers are advising clients to create completely different interiors for their home offices than before the pandemic, because now, more than ever, they must be isolated from family spaces.
Furnish your home with local furniture
Furniture from international companies is becoming more expensive and taking longer to ship, so it is recommended to look for local manufacturers and designers. It’s time to support local designers, manufacturers, and artisans, as well as local brands that continue to gain popularity and thrive.
And shield things at auctions
The growth in popularity of finding items at auctions will become noticeable in the coming year. Antiques in combination with modern items form those actual combinations that are typical for new multi-layered interiors. It’s like pairing foods in haute cuisine: crisp and fresh contrasted with canned or long-cooked foods to enrich the depth and complexity of the dish.
Eclectic combinations
More details, interesting, unexpected discoveries, and perhaps less minimalism. Bolder, more material, more thorough. All objects and works of art in the interior are becoming more expressive, and we are generally more open to the whimsical and bold. Think shapes, bold details, and bright, unexpected materials.
