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.
Revel is a stone-effect collection born from the desire to create something completely new: a surprising and vibrant material, capable of celebrating nature and its most exciting contrasts. Its four shades – Bright, Dune, Ground, and Night – form an elegant and timeless palette that, from luminous white to deep anthracite, through refined beige and taupe nuances, dresses spaces with natural warmth. Thanks to a wide range of sizes and thicknesses – from ultra-thin Zero.3 laminated porcelain slabs to 20 mm with bush-hammered finish – Revel presents itself as a solid and versatile proposal, perfect for residential settings and larger architectural projects, both indoors and outdoors. Where matter breathes, elegance in motion is born: this is the spirit of Revel, transforming the authentic strength of stone into surfaces that bring dynamism, harmony, and emotion to contemporary spaces.
Surround draws inspiration from the combination of two different limestone-origin stones, Jura and Limestone, whose fossil elements, together with other typical features of these materials, give it elegance and balance, but above all a welcoming effect. Surround is an elegant, refined collection that enhances some of the distinctive traits of natural stone and, through tone variations, chromatic transitions and subtle veining, reveals an extremely realistic visual, tactile and aesthetic identity.
