Hello ! I’m Elisabetta Rizzato, Italian architect and founder of italianbark.com. I created ITALIANBARK back in 2013 to inspire design lovers and design professionals in their job and daily life, but above all to inspire myself in a moment when I felt totally demotivated in my own job.
Over the years, the blog has grown to become one of the most read Italian interior design blogs abroad and one of the most popular trend forecasting websites on a global scale. Today, IB is a complete platform with endless resources for design professionals and design lovers.
ITALIANBARK was awarded as “Best Colour Inspiration Blog” International at the Amara Interior Blog Awards 2018 and listed in the Top Global 25 interior blogs by The Huffington Post, besides being named in many paper and online publications, including Vogue Australia in the top Italian interior Instagram profiles to follow.
