Cersaie, the great international event dedicated to ceramics and bathroom furnishings is back and has left us a series of useful tips also to revive our luxury homes in Venice. Here are the ten trends to keep in mind.
1. Desire for green: breaking down walls to live outdoors is a bit of the leitmotif of this edition, which not surprisingly recorded blue and green as the predominant colors. Among the stands, great emphasis was placed on the furnishing of outdoor spaces, even small but absolutely well-kept, and interiors with plant and floral motifs capable of evoking nature.
Important trends also for our prestigious houses in Venice which, thanks to their suggestive open spaces, such as terraces and roof terraces, allow us to easily create a continuity between inside and outside.
2. The return of the fresco: a fortune for those who have bought luxury apartments in San Marco or Dorsoduro, and perhaps already have a house with original frescoes. If not, you can turn to those companies specializing in the art of painting: they have been among the most popular.
3. Ecology and attention to health. The pandemic and global warming have strongly affected every area of life and even ceramics are not immune. This is why the antibacterial coatings and ecological ceramics, made with production waste, also stood out this year.
4.Ever richer wallpaper: in this case we are faced with a long-standing trend that, in the last two years, has experienced a real surge. Wallpaper is becoming more and more trendy and, at the same time, it becomes more detailed and sophisticated.
5.The gold rush. Whether in small arabesques or in the veins of ceramic marbles, gold is once again highly appreciated in decorations. These fit perfectly into the history of many luxury apartments in Venice which, in their architecture, combine Western and Eastern influences, with gold being a splendid bridge between these two styles.
6. The family-sized spa: the bathroom has become the extra room, the one where you can relax and let yourself be pampered, following a trend that was accentuated during the lockdown. From today, the comfort of luxury homes in Venice will also be measured in the bathroom.
7. The material surfaces: from wood-effect stoneware, which almost reproduces the planks, to concrete which in some cases accentuates the rough surface. Industrial style evolves towards extremes.
For those who love industrial style, here is one of the best houses for sale in Venice Giudecca.Loft Michelangelo.
8. Stone and relief: porcelain stoneware seems to know no boundaries and this year those coatings that are able to reproduce stone with almost incredible precision are strong. Equally trendy are those that play on lights and shadows by means of embossed effects. Imitation of the surrounding environment is the new challenge.
10. The revenge of the Venetian seminato: this is the novelty that pleases us most, because it fits perfectly with the history of our luxury apartments for sale in Venice. The seminato, also called terrazzo, was mentioned as early as the sixteenth century by Francesco Sansovino, who emphasized how this type of floor had taken the place of classic bricks in the Venetian halls and halls.
Seeing this style reproduced immediately brings us back to eighteenth-century Venice and those ballrooms where the young Casanova made the ladies spin.
