“The colour selection of the brand, it allows to play continuously with the various brand’s colours and choose the most “trendy” colour for each moment and project” The design from Masquespacio’s workspace starts with the redesign of the design studio’s brand image set up, on one hand by its logotype, and, on the other, by its icon ‘Mas’, better known as ‘More’ in English. The letter ‘S’ in this case divides each of the graphic applications in two different parts; a division that symbolises the added value offered by the creative consultancy in each of its projects.

Regarding the colour selection of the brand, it allows to play continuously with the various brand’s colours and choose the most “trendy” colour for each moment and project.

The same concept is used for the interior design that plays with the different colours and partitions from the brand’s identity.

A living room can serve many different purposes, from a formal sitting area to a casual living one. When you are getting inspired to make your own project, contemplate the areas that you want to have and why and make sure that you choose the right furniture, such as a comfortable sofa, a great centre table, or a magnificent suspension lamp.
If thinking about the overall look is a bit too impressive, start by thinking about the corners of your living room. How do you want to feel in every single space, and what to you want it to say to your guests. Make comfortable spaces by using a great light and bring everything together with a cosy fireplace.

We have talked about the importance of lamps when defining or completing the interior design of an entryway. But lamps are not the only relevant accessories when designing a place inside your home. Another key piece of furniture that can enhance any interior design set is, without doubts, an armchair. And that also applies to entryways. They can be the colour setter, they can add comfort to the place and more, armchairs can be truly iconic pieces. They are also essential if you want to make a strong statement without ever losing sight of elegance and sophistication. Choose pieces with a retro design that recall a bohemian style, just like Dandridge Armchair by Essential Home on the picture.

In the picture above, you can see an interior decoration that can be easily recreated in an entryway. Actually, it is more than a simple entryway. It is a warm ambience highlighted by the brown colours and the warm light given by the floor lamp. And instead of an armchair, you have a brown leather ottoman. The cosiness is taken to an upper level with the big soft rug on the floor. It’s the perfect invitation for your home, giving the idea that is a place you want to stay inside, the perfect refuges from the outside world. Floor lamps, just like the Duke Floor Lamp by Delightfull, seen in the picture, with short silhouettes and a single swing can make all the difference in an interior design composition.

The single most important key to success is to be a good listener. KELLY WEARSTLER Whenever you are searching for interior design ideas and inspiration, the first thing to do is listening. If the project is for a client, then you must listen to his/her preferences and tastes without ever forgetting the context for functionality and needs. If it is a personal project, then you must listen to yourself and let your house reflect who you are.

When designing an interior, light is always an element that can change the mood of a room. It can add value to a room size. A seamless combination of functionality and style comes together when the right furniture work in conjunction with the right light. This featuring floor lamp is a reminiscent lamp of the golden years of space. The Neil floor lamp is constructed of brass tubing using the classic method of bending the brass twice into a rounded oblong shape. It allows for bright and load casts of light holding spherical diffusers with a retro-futuristic style of that era. It has 3 arms with adjustable lights, creating a versatile piece and giving a good peripheric light range. The elegance of the continuous flowing centre tubes gives a floating sensation to the whole piece, that would be perfect for a beautiful light living room or in a cosy lobby.
