Decors shape our lives – A perfect match: White and decor
Fashion, furniture and consumer electronics are tending towards puristic materials these days, and white is the favoured colour of the latest products involved. Standing for purity, simplicity and clarity, it is a colour that awakens positive associations in most people.
Thanks to its neutrality, white is an ideal choice for the home as it harmonises with all colours and is superb in combinations with other hues. It is particularly dramatic in connection with black and dark brown, and unusual effects can be obtained by using it along with expressive decors – in other words, white and woodgrain decors are always a perfect match.
Wherever cool white hues and clear lines set the tone, decors with natural-looking textures and colours are an excellent way of introducing emotion and individuality.
The floor plan of the home of tomorrow
New developments for the future are emerging in home planning and design. Space has become a precious asset, yet there is a desire for a new generosity in residential interiors.
New solutions for the future are being found in the form of open-plan architecture that enables a modular organisation of space and furnishings. The increasingly open style of interior architecture will call forth a demand for design that satisfies the natural need for warmth and seclusion.
The distinctions between individual living areas will blur: kitchens, living rooms and studies will merge, and bathrooms and bedrooms will come to form a single whole devoted to repose and regeneration.
