I would like to dedicate more space in this blog to tips for those who run a blog, or are planning to open one. Among the various strategies that gave more beneficts to this website, for sure the first one I would recommend is the newsletter. In the last year I made big efforts in […]

Do yourself a favor and book a ticket to Bali. It’s that easy. No need to stress about the long haul flight, the balmy air of Bali will soothe any sorrow as soon as the plane’s doors open. Think of an oasis of peaceful temples and rolling rice paddocks. Think of all-nighters at beach raves. […]

There are some trends in the interiors that became so popular that now the risk of choosing a certain type of decoration or material is to see it “everywhere“. I am thinking of for example the cement tile trend that went viral a few years ago and still continues as we noticed visiting this years’ […]

At Cersaie fair, I observed how large format tiles are still a big trend in interiors. In fact, the ceramic trends for 2019 go towards super small formats on one side and extra large ones on the other. While we will talk about the small sizes and the new mosaics in the next trend report […]

I found quite difficult, in the latest times, to discover one Scandinavian home tour that inspired me for its originality, as much as it was worth sharing it with you. Instead this house actually made me want to paint my house again, in total beige, because here the combination of beige and white is really […]

There is an interior style which lately emerged as the latest trend in the interiors, and the news is that it does not come from the Scandinavian Countries, but from Italy. Defined as Italian (new) Modernism, it is a refined, contemporary and at the same time nostalgic style. Apartament Theraphy talked about it here, about […]

Lately, I’m working on finalizing an online consulting for an home with a very long and narrow layout, with an existing kitchen, where it is quite difficult to solve the dining area. I opted in one of the two solutions for a kitchen banquette: that is a very clever solution if you have to place […]

Living in 11 square meters? In Paris (and not only) this often happens. Luckily, there are some designers who are so good in their job to turn a very small space in a cozy house where to live.

Mercatopoli is the largest network of second-hand shops in Italy. I had already talked about it last year, in this post about decluttering, as it a place where you can easily sell the furniture and objects you no longer use. In fact, after the massive decluttering I did at home, I headed to Mercatopoli , where […]
