Design is seen as a tool to solve the world’s biggest issues. As the time goes on, interior designers and architects try to make the perfect combo between aesthetics and functionality, using recycled materials, plants and other natural resources. Sustainability is key, that is why biophilia is one of the main trends for the next years!

Biophilia is the love for all things living and the key to biophilia design, such a trend when it comes to interior design.

This trend, Bio-Depth, once again, is associated with eco-friendly choices and sustainabitity. Shades of blue that remind us of the North Pole and the defrosting the polar layers. This color palette is usually chosen for Scandinavian Decor.

This trend is about feminism, is about women fighting for equal rights. That is why we see, more and more, a equality of colors, shapes and home décor, whether is for a woman or a man. On this color palette, we would like to highlight the greenish yellow that is going to invade the place!
