It’s not rocket science, it’s interior design. And it’s all about transformation and reinvention! Guided by this principle, past styles and aesthetics return and are renewed, reimagined, and combined with one another to adapt to new trends, new materials, and contemporary tastes. Boundaries blur and old rules are broken, leaving room to experiment freely and take creative risks.
Mixing becomes a playful exploration of patterns and original aesthetic solutions. And yet, within this freedom, following a few key guidelines can help to ensure that materials and styles come together harmoniously and that any contrasts contribute to establishing the perfect balance.
There are many ways to achieve an eclectic and original style. Play with different materials, like marble and metal, to create interesting pairings; combine classical furniture with modern or ethnic pieces; experiment with colour by enhancing a wall with wallpaper or ceramic cladding or livening up a neutral kitchen with a more vibrant backsplash; use floor and wall decorations to creatively separate spaces without relying on traditional dividers.
Aside from furniture, accessories, finishes, and textiles, the choice of flooring and wall cladding definitely plays a key role in setting the overall mood and tone of any room. A particularly effective solution is porcelain stoneware, thanks to its inherent qualities and wide range of styles and finishes. A wood-look stoneware floor paired with marble-look wall cladding, creates an elegant and sophisticated contrast. Likewise, cement-look stoneware conveys an industrial and contemporary vibe which can be softened and enhanced with warm wood accents. The versatility of this material allows for the creation of unique, customised designs that adapt to both traditional and modern interiors.
Panaria Ceramica is a brand of porcelain stoneware that, thanks its wide variety of colours, finishes, and decorations, offers products which are particularly well-suited to the creation of truly one-of-a-kind spaces.
A glossy, small-format, and vibrantly coloured brick that comes in nine shades, from bright and reassuring tones to deeper and richer features. The palette goes from neutral hues like cream and dark grey, to more sophisticated and trendy colours such as petrol green, curry, and chestnut. The pure ceramic texture of Workshop is expressed through a soft and delicately undulated surface with irregularities that give it an artisan look. The great compatibility between the colours enhances the extraordinary compositional freedom of the small wall format, perfectly matchable with any porcelain stoneware floor from the Panaria Ceramica catalogue.
Blade is a metal-look collection that combines the elegance of over-sized laminated porcelain stoneware slabs with the perfection of metallic surfaces. It’s characterised by warm tones and luminous elements, simulating the effects of oxidation to create five dynamic and vibrant colours. The over-sized 100x300 cm format, with a thickness of just 3.5 mm, offers solutions for characteristically industrial or contemporary interior design projects, brightening environments and decorative elements, such as the cladding of a kitchen worktop. The ultra-thin Zero.3 slabs are inherently sustainable, using fewer materials and less energy during production, and, thanks to the THINk ZERO project, fully offsetting all CO2 emissions produced throughout the product’s entire lifecycle.
Perpetual defies the passage of time, turning marble-look ceramic into a distinctive aesthetic element in visually striking environments Five marble textures celebrate the beauty of nature through contrasting graphics, featuring veining in contrasting colours that pair perfectly with materials like wood, to add warmth to a space.
Wallcraft is an elegant ceramic cladding product designed to give a minimalist and contemporary feel to any space. A delicate colour palette and textured surfaces create understated and sophisticated cladding with a strong visual impact that lightens walls, softening the space and giving it personality. With Wallcraft, surfaces acquire the strength and presence of true decorative elements, thanks to the colours and new finishes that mimic the charm and appeal of a handcrafted plaster product and decorations that make a space feel warm and inviting and reflect the personality of its inhabitants.
