From Millennials to Gen Z, the chromatic evolution of interior design according to Panaria Ceramica
Contemporary living increasingly reflects the identities and aspirations of those who inhabit it. And when it comes to style and design, today more than ever, color becomes a form of generational expression.
According to a recent survey, in 2025 Pinterest searches related to colorful interiors have grown by +280%: a clear sign of how the home is transforming into a place of chromatic freedom, authenticity, and personality.
The protagonist of this revolution is Gen Z, which with the trend of dopamine décor reinterprets the domestic space as a vital and energetic environment.
Color is no longer just an aesthetic choice, but a true emotional language: bold and vibrant tones replace traditional neutrals, creating dynamic and stimulating atmospheres, ideal for bathroom tiles with a modern look, or for decorative kitchen walls capable of brightening the space.
Mustard yellow, amber, lacquer red, deep blue, and sage green are among the most loved shades, perfect for bringing to life porcelain stoneware floors and coverings with a unique character.
Alongside full colors, there is room for geometric patterns and decorated ceramic tiles, for interiors with an eclectic and contemporary spirit, where color becomes a tool of well-being and identity.
If Gen Z favors contrast and experimentation, Millennials choose warmer and more reassuring palettes that recall nature and organic materials.
Tones such as terracotta, ochre, and beige combine with ceramic surfaces with wood and stone effect to create warm and welcoming environments, where a widespread sense of calm and well-being prevails.
In this vision, color becomes a way to rediscover harmony and visual comfort, expressing one’s idea of balance through decorative tiles and home coverings that convey warmth and authenticity.
In this dialogue between generations, Panaria Ceramica interprets every aesthetic sensitivity through modern and versatile ceramic collections, capable of narrating color in all its shades.
