Mix and Match Style

The art of blending styles.

It is risky, it is about combining, reusing and incorporating different textures, colours, materials and trends in the same space, always seeking balance and a sense of wholeness.

If you like bold and seductive spaces, you will love this style!

Although it is an invitation to break guidelines, to free the imagination from monotony and to play with different elements, this goes far beyond bringing together different textures, colors, materials and shapes in the same space, this requires our commitment to harmony because precisely one of the dangers of this style is falling into chaos and disorder.

The magical thing about implementing this style is that it turns decoration into a game that allows you to transform spaces with small details, a game in which everything is possible and the goal is to create a room with personality and a soul of its own.

It is important to be very clear about what you want to project in the place you are designing, and thus guarantee the success of the combinations that are made.

Always keep in mind that with a successful mix your decoration will be unique and authentic.

Nordic Style

It is a reflection of the Scandinavian lifestyle and needs, it responds to the climate and geography of this area, however today we find it anywhere in the world and it has become a benchmark for interior design.

Why do we see it around the world if it responds to the Scandinavian characteristics and lifestyle?

Multifunctional furniture.

One of the reasons that carries the most weight in this response is that the Nordic culture has always been concerned with saving and optimizing resources such as space. This is why the Nordic style is mainly differentiated by the restricted use of ornaments and the concern that EVERYTHING in the space is 100% functional or even multifunctional.

Spacious and bright spaces.

Minimalist design.

We are talking about countries that most of the year have very little sunlight, therefore light is essential in these environments, and how do they do it?

With large windows, lots of white and mostly light colors on the surfaces. And who doesn't like it? Currently, due to the dense construction in cities, looking for light through design is something that interests us all around the world.

Spacious and bright spaces.

However, in terms of materials and textures, this style, maintaining its concern for the optimization of resources, implements all kinds of accessible materials in its context, such as wood, stone and leather. You will ask why?

The reason is that its textures and colors allow spaces to be given the warmth that is sought during winter. We know that in our case winter is not such a protagonist, but speaking in terms of design and balance, they are the perfect allies to avoid environments so cold that they do not invite you to habit them.

Textures and colors.

Here we will find completely clean spaces because this style completely avoids recharging the spaces with objects, colors or textures. On the contrary, efforts are directed to clarify and liberate as much as possible except when it is necessary to integrate prints in which we can find geometric patterns or shapes inspired by nature.

In conclusion, the Nordic style, although it was born from the needs of Scandinavian life, has become a design benchmark around the world thanks to its search for comfort and resource optimization, something that almost all of us are currently looking for regardless of geographical location.

TRENDY TEXTURES: Natural Fibers and Fabrics - Corduroy - Fur

And with you three of the textures that will steal the show this year! Both in the upholstery of furniture and in cushions and pillows.

We are living a moment in which a lot of value is given to the organic and in spaces design textures and finishes that make us feel in a rustic, cozy and above all natural environment are making their debut as protagonists.

Something we seek to reflect in our spaces is the balance between folklore, work, rest, and leisure. The priorities and characteristics of today's lifestyles are more focused on well-being, optimism, and preservation of the environment. That's why it won't be uncommon to find cruelty-free faux fur and fabrics made from natural or recycled fibers.

• Natural fibers and fabrics with a flat finish are perfect for covering large surfaces in solid colors or patterns.

• The rough and thick feeling that relates a space with rustic and ecological trends are the quintessential characteristics of Corduroy.

• Skins (synthetic or not) are responsible for giving our spaces a cozy and natural touch. This texture is perfect for creating accents throughout a room.

Let's talk about the mid century style

A style inspired by postwar lifestyles and mid-20th century design.

In these spaces there is no place for useless ornaments but rather for light and everything that can make the environment feel fresh

Mid century living room

We have to make it clear that simplicity and functionality are far from making these spaces boring. One of the characteristics of this trend is the use of bright colors in certain focal points of the space to break with the monotony. Usually these accents in the space are created by upholstered furniture, cushions, curtains or valances. It all depends on the story you want to tell!

Completely functional and minimalist furniture

Likewise, the lightness that characterizes this style is not an impediment when it comes to integrating geometric patterns. However, you must be careful not to overcrowd the space. Both the bold colors and geometric patterns are delicate accents that energize your room without overshadowing the simplicity of the MID CENTURY.
