Interior Design for a Fresh Start: How to Refresh Your Home in 2025

5/15/2026 The Smell of Dwelling

Honest materials, real scents: a home is felt before it is seen.

4/24/2026 Water, Flows and Rituals: Kitchen and Bathroom Where Design Is Really Tested

Kitchen and bathroom are where the home meets water every day — preparation, cleaning, care, rest. That is why they are also where the gap between beautiful in rendering and sustainable in use shows first: droplets at joints, twisted paths, light that lies about the face, surfaces that demand obsessive cleaning.

4/17/2026 Micro-Outdoor: Balcony, Loggia and Terrace as a Room (Even a Small One)

In the city, those few square metres beyond the door are often the only truce between the flat and the noise outside. They are not a decorative extra: they are a border — different light, different wind, different rules. Yet too many balconies stay storage for crates, folding chairs and rushed tiles, as if design stopped at the glass.

4/10/2026 Beautiful for Everyone: Accessibility, Age and Design That Doesn't Look "Clinical"

The prejudice comes from years of institutional rooms where function crushed aesthetics. In residential work, things have changed: handles that are objects, walk-in showers that are elegance before aid, wide doors and near-invisible thresholds that are build quality before regulation. The gap is not budget: it is awareness that dignity lives in daily details — the ones you touch hundreds of times a year.

4/03/2026 Between One Room and Another: Vestibules, Corridors and the Rhythm of the Home

Open a catalogue of contemporary homes and you often find cover-worthy kitchens, theatrical bathrooms, living rooms that look like photo sets. Between one image and the next, a narrow corridor appears, lit by a sad single point — or a vestibule reduced to a knot between doors. That is not a technical detail: it is silent design about what life spends most of its time doing — passing through, pausing, shifting register, leaving one room before entering another.

3/27/2026 A Room for Everything: Dedicated Spaces (Beyond Open Plan)

Open plan has dominated the image of the contemporary home: few walls, few boundaries, maximum flexibility. The promise was freedom — kitchen in dialogue with the living room, light flowing, no "closed" rooms. Over time many have discovered the downside: noise travelling, no refuge, difficulty concentrating or switching off. The response isn't to go back to the closed-off house of the past, but to rethink the value of dedicated spaces: environments with a clear function that the body and mind learn to recognise.
