The fashion world and interior design are closer than many might think ;)
⠀
Reflecting on my studies at Istituto Marangoni, where did we start? Exactly, with exploring the collections of flagship global fashion houses. And no, I wasn’t preparing to become a fashion designer, but this knowledge helped me understand how fashion trends influence the world of interior design.
⠀
You’re probably aware that many fashion houses have their own interior design lines. From bold wallpapers and extravagant accessories to unique lighting fixtures. For instance, Armani not only offers elegant clothing but also has the Armani Casa division, creating furniture, ceramic tiles, and even plumbing fixtures. Versace is also known for its luxurious and extravagant interior products.
⠀
But it’s not just about fashion brands creating interior collections. The trends and moods we see on the runways during the first seasonal fashion shows later appear in architectural and interior digests and furniture showrooms. These collections become inspiration for new ideas in interior design.

Everything You Need to Know About Minimalism in Interior Design
⠀
Minimalism in interior design isn’t just about clean lines and monochromacity, it’s about the deliberate choice of each element.
⠀
Here are a few rules for creating a minimalist interior:
⠀
✍️ Less means more: This is the foundation. The space should be simple, and each element should be functional and meaningful. Think twice about the necessity of each item. Bonus - fewer things mean less dust and a healthier environment.
⠀
✍️ Personalize your space: A minimalist interior shouldn’t lack individuality. Add personal accessories, but remember the first rule.
⠀
✍️ Maximize storage space: Hide most items in cabinets. Minimalists don’t necessarily have fewer things😉, it’s just that the walls of their homes are literally sewn with built-in cabinets, allowing rooms to appear almost empty.
⠀
✍️ Clean lines: Choose furniture with simple lines and minimal decor. The clutter is gone, and individual accessories in the interior can breathe! Bare walls with a minimal number of artworks.
⠀
✍️ Invest in quality: In a minimalist interior, quality is more important than quantity. Choose items that will last a long time. Especially since there isn’t much furniture and decor, you can afford to buy really cool stuff😉
⠀
✍️ Neutral base: Start with neutral wall colors, this creates a calm atmosphere.
⠀
✍️ Carefully select a color palette: Choose a specific color scheme and stick to it strictly. This doesn’t mean everything has to be beige or white, you can add an accent color! But once the palette is chosen, you need to diligently follow it.
⠀
✍️ Play with textures: Use different textures to add warmth and coziness. A wall can be monochromatic, but textured, like brick for example 🧱.

👉5 Tips for Using Color in Your Interior
⠀
Hello, aesthetes!
⠀
Following up on our previous post, I want to share one of my favorite topics: how to use color to create a unique atmosphere in your home.
⠀
1️⃣ Choose colors that reflect your personality: Your home is a reflection of you. If you love calm and relaxation, opt for soft, neutral, or pastel colors. For a more energetic atmosphere, use bright and saturated palettes.
⠀
2️⃣ Your home is your canvas: Choosing a wall color is like picking an outfit for an important meeting. If you decide to paint everything black, the living room might inadvertently turn into an elegant nightclub.
⠀
3️⃣ Your wardrobe hints at you: Look at your clothing. Lots of gray and black? Perhaps your interior also needs minimalism. If you’re all about pinks, why not dress your living room in pastel?
⠀
4️⃣ Where’s the off button?: Use bright colors carefully. Your favorite color is purple? Great! But let it be a purple vase, not all the walls. One red pillow can liven up a room, but a red sofa might make your eyes plead for mercy.
⠀
5️⃣ Color mood: Different colors can affect our mood in various ways. Green calms and rejuvenates, creating a sense of harmony. Yellow stimulates the mind and lifts spirits, bringing energy and light. Purple is associated with luxury and creativity, great for making a special accent in a space.
⠀
Color is not just aesthetics; it’s a tool that can affect your daily life.
⠀
But remember: your home, your rules. If you like it, then you did everything right!😎
