For curtains, cushions and upholstery we will choose velvet, brocade or silk.

(Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark) in the early twentieth century, looking for warmth and brightness in homes that belonged to a cold region, and without light.

  • Industrial

The industrial style dates back to the 1950s, when factories and abandoned industries took center stage as it became the home of several artists looking for ample space to unleash their creativity.

High ceilings of double height, feeling of spaciousness and spaces decorated with urban materials (metal, brick, or aluminum), are the essential features that characterize this style. To this, we must add a view of the structural elements of the building, such as columns, ventilation equipment, pipes, beams or brick walls.

The furniture that are the typical ones that are used in these factories; Worn, straight lines and in which the passage of time is appreciated. The predominant colors are strong; Blue, red, green and above all black.

Lighting will be fundamental. It is practically the key to achieving the “industrial” effect we are looking for. From bulbs with wires to the eye, retro style flexes, to lamps with appliques in silver, copper or black tones … we love this style!

  • Rustic

The rustic style seeks to recreate a quiet environment, in harmony with nature, that reminds us of the country houses and the homey atmosphere that these transmit us. It is mainly based on incorporating unique craftsmanship, using natural materials such as wood (pine overcoat), stone, clay or wicker.

Wool, thread or cotton are often used in carpets and textiles. For curtains, smooth prints, contrasting with floral prints of sofas and armchairs.

The plants will also be very important, as they will help to decorate the rooms and create contrast against their ornamentation and rustic materials. If you have a porch or garden, the more vegetation the better! Do not be afraid to pass.

The colors that predominate in this style are blue, green, or pastel shades in furniture and textiles, to counteract with the coldness of walls covered in stone. On smooth walls, colors like burgundy, blue or green are used to create a contrast with the wood of the furniture.

As for the furniture or decorative elements, these will be based on different natural materials. Wood for almost all furniture (tables, chairs, shelves, headboards or bed structures) structural elements such as beams, or wall coverings. Wrought iron will be used in bars, windows or mirrors. The clay, in pots, or vases. Vintage details such as baskets, trunks, or planters will also mark this style. In the living room, you can not miss a stone or brick fireplace.
