If there are those who say that the body is the mirror of the soul, in the same way we can say that our homes are the mirror of the atmosphere we breathe in the world.
After years that have seen us gathered in the nest of our home walls, with the creation of “protected”, welcoming and relaxing environments, 2023 looks to the rebirth, to lively, vibrant and energy-rich spaces.
The keywords are 5: color, warmth, value, nature and stratification.
Color is synonymous with Pantone
In the specific case of 2023, it is called Viva Magenta: “an unconventional shade for unconventional times“, as the Pantone Color Institute itself states.
A carmine red with purplish undertones; an inclusive, joyful and daring, yet incredibly versatile nuance of color.
Ignite, Family Ties, Resonance and Equilibrium are the 4 palettes created by Pantone that insert Viva Magenta in the most diverse environments: the first, more discreet and neutral with a single explosion of color, joins others respectively nude, rich and scenographic or warm.
So much desire for positivity
This year, warm is the atmosphere we want to breathe in every aspect of our daily life: from fashion to interior design to furnishings, grays and cold shades leave room for beiges, browns and neutrals with a warm undertone.
The colors that capture our attention have references to the 90s and create Japandi-ish environments but, above all, reflect a desire for well-being, tranquility and optimism.
Our purchases over time have become always more targeted, careful and aware
Cost is increasingly accompanied by the theme of value – intrinsic, functional and of production – of every object that we decide to include in our homes.
The enrichment of the interior furnishings is also reflected in a sense of care, of growth of personal and other people’s well-being, of the entire planet actually.
This is also the common thread of the next edition of Maison&Objet, which will take place next weekend in Paris and which, not surprisingly, is entitled “Take care!“
Watchword: nature
From production sustainability, to the origin of the materials, up to the perceived feeling, “nature” is a word that recurs more and more frequently in all the facets of our daily life.
If sustainability, however, is – it must be – a guideline beyond fashions, the matter relating to the materials used and the sensations associated with them is different.
No more uniform textures, the real protagonists of our furnishing choices will be very veined marbles, beautiful woods and stones with marked textures.
A perfect example: villa O
The last keyword also follows this common thread: no longer minimalism, but stratification.
Crossing the threshold of the house we want to perceive joy, life, dynamism and uniqueness.
The overlapping of colors, materials and textures is accompanied by an intense search and desire for valuable objects, sculptures and works of art capable of infusing an immediate twist of character and energy into our homes.
Don’t you know how to do it? Take a cue from our Villa O!
