s it possible to generate a completely new world? Today, yes! By now, the era of generative AI has arrived for several years but only recently we can see its results and its true use in our daily life and in various sectors, including that of Interior Design. By bringing exquisite works to life faster than ever before, designers benefit by exploring new ideas and pushing their own creative boundaries. From this comes our latest selection of Trends: a series of projections of the future created by the Portuguese furniture company Hommés Studio (page 15). Large windows and abundant natural light, open spaces and lots of greenery, untreated materials are the must-haves in a home today. And I think these requests will be in vogue for several decades, probably even more so than now. Thanks to a unique perspective on the reality of combined design that artificial intelligence offers us, we can exploit its potential to create living spaces "with a view to the future".

This edition, in addition to proposing designs that can stand the test of time, explores a series of interior projects with different styles and so-called "of the moment" trends. On page 56, the New York apartment realised by Rayman Boozer offers the rich patterns and character pieces that add depth and texture to the ambiance. Instead, Modoso Interiors’ one in Warsaw is characterised by a soft color palette that promote a sense of peace and tranquility (page 74). Anything that entices us to touch is also trending. As well as the furniture and home accessories, we can expect to see this technique introduced in other ways, for example the project by Memola Estudio and Vitor Penha embodies it in a brick wall in São Paulo apartment with a loft look industrial (page 48).

Get inspired by our interior style predictions and start creating your home of the future!

The renovation of the apartment has transformed it functionally and visually: the idea was to create a timeless atmosphere inspired by industrialstyle lofts. Rustic materials such as exposed

concrete and brick, revealed through the complete removal of the stucco and the peeling of the masonry, coexist with the warmth of new wooden surfaces and with furniture and objects, sometimes of

contemporary design, sometimes vintage, which add delicacy to the whole. Furthermore, one of the goals was to create a backdrop for the display of artworks, which was both neutral and expressive.

The social area of the apartment is large, airy and well lit. The light gray tones reverberate in the furnishings of the living room and are "warmed up" by the touches of wood present almost everywhere. A large sofa by a soft design, a concrete coffee table, a wooden bench with visible steel finishes are the main protagonists of this space. A few touches of yellow brightens the environment. The wall behind the sofa remains unnoticeable, strong presence to the space. Above they are delimited by exposed concrete beams and, below, by strips of wooden planks which signal the demolition of the walls, with a different shade from that of the overall beautiful floor of the apartment, designed in the fish scale pattern.

Without any visual constraints, on the other side of the living room we find the dining area: the round table and the industrial design suspension lamp form a perfect balance with the dining chairs with a lighter and more sophisticated design and the sideboard in the background, both in wood. The wall that separated the kitchen was demolished and replaced with folding doors to improve flows and integrate it with the social area. The industrial universe that participates in the project's concept is present both in the apparent installations, with emphasis on the rigorous distribution of pipes throughout the apartment, and in the stainless-steel elements that make up the worktops and kitchen furniture. In addition, here, the entire flooring has been modified with the installation of ceramic flooring with a rustic look and an earthy tone.

The guest bedroom has been redesigned in the closets so as to create a complementary alcove facing the corridor. The bedside wall has been completely stripped of its surface cladding, revealing the exposed brickwork. While in the master

RAYMAN BOOZER, THE FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF THE AWARD-WINNING INTERIOR DESIGN FIRM APARTMENT 48, UNVEILED ITS NEW PROJECT THAT SHOWCASES HIS UNIQUE STYLE AND CREATIVE VISION: A TOWNHOUSE ON NEW YORKʼS UPPER EAST SIDE .

Photography by Gieves Anderson

"We took many cues from English houses; including the backdoors, fireplace hearths and painted millwork. Several of the wallcovering, fabrics and art are by English artists and designers."

Located in the bustling heart of New York City, the house is a stunning renovation that features an impressive range of colors and bold

design statements. The space has been completely transformed to provide a luxurious and comfortable living environment for clients - a family of four. Having lived in London, the owners wanted to take inspiration from there. Since the house is over 100 years old and there were landmark restrictions, the designer could not change the facade of the building and the front door, therefore they have been kept as is the entryway arches and moldings. The entire parlor floor has been renovated to make it all an open plan without any walls, allowing an easy flow from the living room to the dining area and to kitchen. On clients' request the walls are painted bright white and all the trim and stairs are painted Benjamin Moore's Midnight Dream. The fireplace does not go unnoticed - it is the only one to be kept original, all the others are new. The chairs and sofa by Interlude give a further sophistication to the space while Arteriors lighting and the carpet by Rug Company tie everything together, highlighting the gold accents in the room.

Continuing in the dining area, the beautiful table by Julian Chichester and the sculptural black chairs from Ethnicraft mark a decisive but, at the same time, very accurate design. In the background is the large colorful art of Irene Maiyeimpossible not to notice!

One major thing that was changed was the kitchen: it was moved to the parlor floor from the garden one, near the dining zone. The homeowner wanted to do this to take

advantage of the natural light. The cabinets is also painted Midnight Dream by Benjamin Moore but has light Calcutta marble countertops and a huge window, so it still feels light and airy. A touch of drama has been obtained from the silver details such as the polished nickel accents of the Worlds Away stools or the structure of the Rejuvenation chandelier, which then these go to mix with the taps and appliances in sight.

The floor below is the one that overlooks the garden. Here the den is characterized by the gray color including all the millwork and ceiling. On one side, we find the custom-made upholstered loveseat made with Susi Bellamy fabric, the colorful cushions, a couple of poufs and the wall covered in Jim Thompson's wallpaper. Visual Comfort's sconces accentuate the blue and dark red colors with its gold finishes, as well as providing a deco touch by showcasing its curved design. While on the other side, a more formal area composed of swivel brown fabric armchairs by Romo and the green coffee table with clean lines from Made Goods. A large carpet in shades of blue and the colorful floor-to-ceiling curtains of Kerrie Brown bring out all the colors in the room.

The master bedroom and dressing room are both unique with the lilac paint from Benjamin Moore called Flower Box and Violet Mist. The light shade of the CB2 sofa creates a perfect balance between the dark colors of the king size double bed and the coffee tables. The bedroom also has blue and grey accent tones, like in the rug to help ground the space. Beautiful curtain fabrics by Création Baumann and Italian bedding by SFERRA harmonize with custom pillows by Designers Guild. The old fireplace has been replaced with the new one in statuary marble. Next to it was included a chair that the customer had for years and upholstered 3-4 times; it has been reupholstered with Designers Guild fabric. Even in the dressing room it was decided to include a few splashes of fuchsia as in the carpet. Instead, the primary bathroom is kept light and white. Shades of light gray are found in

the Breccia Capraia marble vanity top and Tile Bar floor tiles. The centerpiece is the freestanding bathtub by Signature Hardware. Above Visual Comfort's chandelier embellishes the environment providing a shimmering elegance. This project is a testament to Rayman Boozer and its design team's passion and commitment to creating unique, stylish and functional living spaces that reflect the personality and lifestyle of their clients.

"This particular client loves jewel tones so within the home we added lots of fuchsia and purple accent colors and also kept the furniture dark."

THE CHARM OF the old town

IN COLLABORATION WITH INTERIOR DESIGNER ONDREJ ZDERCIK, JAIME SALVÁ AND HIS DESIGN TEAM HAVE COMPLETELY REFURBISHED A 110 M² APARTMENT IN PALMA DE MALLORCA, MIXING SOPHISTICATED COLORS WITH ORIGINAL MATERIALS.

Photography by Tomeu Canyellas

Situated in the historical center of the city, near the Town Hall and the cathedral, the apartment's building is surrounded by narrow winding streets. Its owners

were looking to create a new home in the city, and the old town caught their attention due to the life on the streets of this characteristic neighborhood. The apartment was totally outdated; the

facilities had to be renovated and thermally insulated. In the reform, careful attention was paid to preserving the elements that managed to maintain the essence of the original house, adding other more contemporary ones that could work. The main goal was to achieve a stylish and timeless environment, where the intervention was barely noticeable, and the apartment could be considered current and old at the same time.

The premises that guided the reform were to gain light, open spaces and to preserve original elements. Care was taken to rescue the original materials that were most worthwhile, improving the functionality of the spaces and enhancing the great height of the original ceilings.

Upon entry, a large mirror has been included which projects the adjacent formal living room, creating interplay between spaces. Here the exposed beams have been kept which increase the "historical value" of the house. The sofa and a pair of armchairs by Casamilano, characterised by an extremely refined and enveloping line, become the protagonists of the space. While a couple of tables, completely different from each other, give a modern touch.

Framed by a wooden frame, the kitchen presents itself as a bright and open place. Jaime Salvá's team opened a hole in the load-bearing wall to be able to connect the semi-open kitchen with the other spaces in the apartment. The material chosen for the island and other elements that make up the space is Calacatta marble, which is white and has very distinctive gray veins.

“Knowing the clients and their lifestyle was also a very important point when choosing the fabrics for their optimal use and passage over time.”

The kitchen leads to the dining room where the exposed walkway has been kept in its original state. A large dining table with an important wooden top is accompanied by the soft seats of MisuraEmme. A pair of large lamps and images by photographer Tomeu Canyellas complete the design. Here too, a wooden frame delimits the second living room. To obtain the soughtafter "chic" effect, the original colors of the house are combined with other bolder tones, such as the red used on the Arflex sofa. Furthermore, the style of the furniture is more modern, such as the composition of the tables by Casamilano or

"Keeping original pieces, such as the large lamps in the dining room, combining them with cheerful colors, curved and natural shapes, makes it a very special and characteristic space, between chic and historical."

Vitra’s chaise longue. The rug has been made with a completely personalised drawing by Alfombras Peña, as well as its colors, allowing for perfect combination with the other pieces in the living room. The two Ionic columns were already in their original state, and it was decided to keep them to maintain the character. They mark a small space dedicated to the office area. A bookcase was hung on the wall, with large open holes, increasing the feeling of space. The pavement is also worth noting it was decided to keep the original despite having to replace some pieces of hydraulic ceramic tiles. Instead, in some rooms the herringbone oak wood was put on.

The apartment includes three bedrooms, one of which is the master bedroom with attached bathroom; all feature a simple, clean design. Banni was the company chosen to select the furniture, and in close cooperation with Jaime Salvá's team, all the elements were defined trying to understand the idea of the project to capture it and convey it in the best possible way.

The master bedroom, located upstairs, was a major structural challenge. A bathroom was located in the middle of the passage, taking advantage of an unevenness, and in this way, a unique space was achieved where the placement of a bathtub in the center predominates and the presence of a large mirror that occupies the entirety of one of its walls.

The designers decided to hang a large velvet curtain, allowing the separation of the bathroom and the main room with a great light between main walls and maintaining the line of the original hanging beam. With this intervention, not only was the aesthetic defined by the architectural

firm, but comfort was found in every piece. Also, the original wooden beams stand out given their age, which can be seen with the naked eye due to their irregular shape. The shades of light gray recur in the furnishings adding elegance to the environment: the small tables and the bed with its supple design by MisuraEmme, while the minimalist table lamps by Oluce recall the lighting classics of the 1950s.

"The reform has taken into account the original elements of the house to maintain its essence, achieving a 'chic' atmosphere and maintaining the fusion between the old and the present."

Acertain color of the floor, a bright interior and specific mobile furniture - these were clearly defined customer requirements. Furthermore, the project involved a small adjustment to the layout of this 50 m² apartment to enlarge the bathroom. The main space of the house is the living area made up of a

lounge area, a small dining area and kitchen which is visually unobtrusive. During the first phase of the project, the designers analyzed how the sun's rays travel in space, with the facade facing eastsouth-east but obstructed by the courtyard. As a solution, the designers decided to play with reflections. A mirror

wall above the kitchen counter was chosen which not only visually enlarges the living space, but also illuminates it beautifully. The shelves have been hidden behind the mirrors, purposely foregoing the upper cabinets which tend to have a more kitchen-like feel. This shallow space is ideal for storing cups, mugs, and even cereal and

pasta containers. Instead, a large piece of furniture with a built-in oven that takes up the concept of the mirror has been placed on the next wall.

The living room leads to the bathroom of the house whose design was a further challenge given that a freestanding 90x190 cm bathtub had to be inserted into the space. The designers had to remove a small part of the space from the living room (but where nothing is noticeable since the custommade kitchen furniture has been inserted). To design all the bespoke furniture Modoso Interiors collaborated with New Line. A local stonemason expertly clad the sink in Calacatta Da Vinci quartzite, adding luxury and blending perfectly with the stone worktop from Iberapol stone and more. A clean and tidy design has been obtained, thanks also to many hidden compartments, everything is at hand: just look in the mirror cube. The close collaboration between the designer and the craftsmen is vital and their contribution has been fundamental to the success of this project. There is no shortage of art here as well. A fantastic work by Grażyna Smalej draws attention to itself. This is the small bright blue painting "Water shape II" 2020.

The interior designer Paola Maré has transformed a portion of a building, originally used as a body shop, into a bright loft with a private patio, located in a pleasant courtyard in the city centre of Turin.

Photography by Jana Sebestova

The renovation project takes advantage of the typical characteristics of artisanal and industrial buildings: few structural constraints, important internal heights

and lots of light that enters from the windows of the attic ceilings. To obtain a wider and well-proportioned plan, the wall dividing the two long and narrow sections was removed, while three metal carpentry mezzanines were created to take advantage of the height. Under the two larger ones are the walk-in closet, the entrance to the house decorated with wallpaper, the main bathroom and the study with independent entrance. The interior is dominated by white in contrast with black iron, warmed up by birch plywood elements. In the bathroom, we find a very refined design with a perfect balance between two colors, also attenuated by the white tiles with gray circles by Vives Ceramica. The large open space can be visually divided into two parts: the right part is made up of the dining area, the partially visible kitchen and the staircase leading to the bedroom; the opposite side houses the living room and the second staircase. Here, a slatted wooden sliding panel that separates the studio from the rest of the

house was made to order. The minimalist style prefers this space where the Bend sofa by B&B Italia together with the pouf are the only protagonists. Its irregular shape enhances comfort while the light

contrast stitching defines the design and movement. Behind, we find a load-bearing wall which stands out for its raw state, thus transforming itself into a work of art. Seletti’s Monkey lamp in resin adds a

theatrical touch to the environment. Also, the stairs leading to the mezzanines have different shapes and colors to soften the overall symmetry which otherwise would have had a severe appearance.

In the living area, a portion of the roof was removed to create a private outdoor space. This well of light, which further increases the brightness of the environment, is closed on two sides by large sliding doors that create continuity between inside and outside. The dining area is composed by a table with a wooden structure that can be glimpsed thanks to the glass top and the

black wood chairs. Above, the circle lamps of various sizes and at different heights have been positioned to balance the colors and give continuity. The shapes of the circle continue in the black and white plates hanging on the masonry partition that partially hides the kitchen. Both the divider and the kitchen furnishings were custom made.

A mezzanine houses the bedroom and small bathroom, while the other two are relaxation areas or spaces for guests. These areas are characterized by a simple and welcoming design, with some touches of pastel green.

In the bedroom, the highlight is the

exposed bathtub by Kaldewei which, thanks to its exceptionally soft interior lines, visually blends into the ambiance. Here, Axolight's lamp with a white fabric covering has been positioned that generates a soft light creating a relaxing atmosphere.

SIMPLE DREAM

THE FOUNDER OF ALTA IDEA DESIGN STUDIO, JULIA BAYDYK AND ITS DESIGN TEAM PROJECTED A FUNCTIONAL 53 M² APARTMENT IN KYIV.

Photography by Andrey Bezuglov

On the whole, the interior design for this apartment turned out to be delicate and a little dreamy, yet practical at the same time. Each project reflects the energy and nature of the homeowner. As a rule, the design team received several restrictions and requests from the client, which gave an impetus to the work.

The original layout of the apartment didn't appeal very much to the designers. Therefore, they removed some elements and partition walls in order to arrange reasonable and convenient life scenarios. Having changed the layout, the design team managed to create a large walk-in wardrobe and a spacious common room with huge windows overlooking a picturesque lake.

The common room accommodates a Ushaped kitchen unit that reaches the ceiling, a built-in dishwasher, a fridge, and closets with ample storage space. The designers liked this arrangement a lot: a smart zoning solution, which is both elegant and functional. As a result, we have a common room which is a convenient space for cooking and hanging out with your family and friends. Originally, the designers were thinking of placing a TV set in this room but later turned down this idea moving it in the bedroom. Hopefully, the living room with a wonderful view and incredible sunsets encourages the dwellers to enjoy nature and company. The floor in the common room features beautiful tiles with a smooth transition from beige to mocha color with a pinch of nacre. In addition, all areas laid with tiles have underfloor heating installed to give extra comfort to the homeowners.

On the left as you enter the apartment, we find the bathroom with a gloomy look than the rest of the apartment: gray colors dominate the space. Both on the walls and on the floor, we find large tiles with similar motifs, both in grey. The sink cabinet is also gray. While the finishes and accessories are in black. The mirror with attached lighting makes a difference in this space by creating a dramatic effect in the room.

"This interior, however, was designed for a rental apartment, so it didn't have any particular image. That's why we decided to design a space where we would like to live ourselves.”

In the master bedroom, a huge wall-to-wall wardrobe in was placed - this is a convenient place for storing clothes and bedding. Some space near the window is left unoccupied: one can do yoga or practice meditation here. If this apartment is rented by a family with a small child, they can put a baby cot here; or a dressing table if the lady who is going to live here is a makeup fan. Here, the bedroom floor is clad with three-layer parquet boards to create a cosy atmosphere.
