The first step is letting go of what you don’t need.
Sort clothes, accessories, and objects accumulated over summer.
Dedicate time to each room to remove clutter.
Donate, recycle, or store items you no longer use.
A clutter-free home instantly feels lighter and more organized.

Practical allies make everyday life easier:
Woven baskets or fabric boxes for small objects.
Storage benches and ottomans, perfect for entryways or living rooms.
Modular, customizable furniture to fit small spaces.
Golden rule: everything should have its place.

The entryway is your home’s calling card—it should be both practical and tidy:
Wall or floor coat racks for jackets and bags.
Shelves or consoles with drawers for keys and everyday items.
Storage benches for shoes and accessories.
An organized entryway makes life easier and sets a harmonious tone.

The living room is the heart of the home, where style meets practicality:
Bookcases with closed doors to hide clutter.
Coffee tables with shelves or hidden storage.
Decorative containers that both organize and enhance the space.
This keeps the space beautiful and livable, even during home-centered months.

Rest is more restorative in an orderly environment:
Wardrobes organized with dividers and boxes.
Compact dressers for seasonal clothing.
Kids’ rooms with storage beds or desks with built-in compartments.
Order makes everyday life calmer and smoother.

Interior Designer since 1985
CEO & Founder, Italian Design in the World
For years, interior design has lived with a contradiction: an obsession with effect. Marble-effect. Wood-effect. Metal-effect. Stone-effect. A home that looks like something, rather than truly being something.
For years, we designed homes as if they had to pass a constant visual exam: perfect light, perfect white, the right chair, the right vase. Interiors built to be photographed more than lived in. Digital aesthetics — polished, minimal, hyper-ordered — entered interior design like an unspoken rule: if it isn’t “clean,” it isn’t beautiful; if it isn’t coherent, it isn’t successful; if it can’t be shown, it isn’t desirable.In 2026, this narrative is losing its power. Not because beauty matters less, but because beauty alone is no longer enough. A new need is emerging: anti-algorithm interiors, spaces not designed for the shot, but for everyday life. Less performative homes, more real ones. Environments that don’t seek approval — they restore energy.This is not a return to chaos. It’s a return to meaning.
For years, open-plan living symbolized contemporary domestic design: fluid, bright, without barriers. A response to the desire for freedom, openness, and visual continuity.Today, that promise is being reconsidered. In 2026, many projects mark a shift — not a rejection of open space, but its critical evolution. The return of thresholds.
One of the most underestimated challenges in contemporary design is time. Not the time required to design a space, but the time the space must endure: years of daily life, change, wear, and transformation.
In recent years, the home has stopped being a simple functional container. It has become an extension of how we think, how we experience time, and how we relate to the world. Living today is a cultural act — a conscious choice that reflects values, priorities, and pace of life. It’s no longer just about aesthetics. It’s about position.
Homes have become more than places — they have become temporal landscapes. Design is shifting from objects to gestures, from furniture to the choreography of daily life.
