The Elegance of the Round Table

The elegance of the round table: here are the reasons why you should choose a round table for your dining room or kitchen.

The round table is a classic! Almost a must have in the kitchen and a very elegant decorative element when placed in a dining room. The round table goes well with everything, it has no edges and therefore the capacity is larger.

Thanks to the absence of edges in the central area there is more space for storing food and dishes. The round table is ideal for large families, for those who often invite guests home or for those who like to live in a very chic but not too sophisticated environment.

If you opt for a round table for 6 people we recommend to choose the size with a diameter of 120 cm so that each guest or family member will have enough space to enjoy the meal.

Since every diner will have the same exact space at their disposal, they will feel more comfortable without the embarrassment of deciding who should sit at the head of the table, as happens with rectangular tables but also with oval-shaped ones.

In addition, the round tables supported by a single central base make the chairs arrangement much more comfortable and there is undoubtedly much more space for diner’s legs.

Round tables have a smaller encumbrance than rectangular, square or oval tables and are perfect for small rooms, or for situations where you need to make the best use of the available space without losing seats (as in restaurants or bars).

Walk-in Closet and Separating Elements

Walk-in closet and separating elements: the ideal solutions for a functional and stylish home.

The new challenge in the design of homes and in the world of interior design is the versatility and multi-functionality of environments and therefore also of furniture. Smart homes, interior spaces that must adapt to the multiple needs of people: work, physical activity, relaxation and aesthetic requirements.

The world of furniture, therefore, must offer concrete answers to a growing desire for quality, efficiency and aesthetics. This has led to the creation of collections (for example, proposed by the Italian company Rimadesio) composed of sliding panels, doors, partitions, flanked by proposals dedicated to storage such as walk-in closets, bookcases, equipped boiserie. These types of products are quite new in the furniture sector and are all characterized by a high degree of technical innovation and performance.

Walk-in closets

These multi-functional elements make it possible to divide rooms with extreme elegance and without compromising visual impact. Some types of walk-in closets, for example, allow you to cut out small spaces in the bedroom for various purposes: to create reading corners, to practice yoga, to arrange clothes more easily or to divide two different rooms.

Partition systems and sliding doors

The dividing systems, instead, can be inserted in any other space in the house, in the kitchen, in the dining room, in the living room. Ideal for open-space and to create an office without compromising the aesthetic harmony of the home. The design will therefore be very simple, linear, modern, very precise and accurate in every detail. These features will make these elements adaptable to any furniture and style.

Bookshelves as room dividers

For easy, smart and not definitive solutions you can choose to divide a room through the use of a bookcase. Bookcases with a minimalist and non-invasive design that allow you to create two different rooms without the use of a door or sliding doors that would involve a higher cost.

The pictures show Rimadesio products. The entire Rimadesio collection is available on request on Lomuarredi shop

The Public Spaces of the Future

The public spaces of the future: the evolution of meeting places in the post Covid era.

Social distancing will be the new normality (at least temporarily), and therefore our society will have to adapt to the new circumstances that COVID-19 has brought in the daily life of each of us. Public spaces will have to be reorganized in order to accommodate a large number of people in total safety. Hotels, restaurants, bars, theatres, cinemas, schools and universities will be the first to have to adapt to this epochal change and find the best solution to ensure both separation and conviviality.

Designers around the world and furniture companies are studying sustainable solutions from the simplest plexiglass panels to furniture with fabric-covered panels incorporated directly into the structure, which in addition to providing privacy create an elegant barrier among people.

Innovation will not automatically mean cold and aseptic environments. The public spaces of the future will be as warm and welcoming as our home, thanks to the use of versatile and above all smart furniture, made with materials that can be easily washed without losing beauty and elegance.

The idea that, for the moment, is taking hold among the best designers is to create small private “rooms” in which small groups of people can gather. This idea can be applied to almost all public spaces, from restaurants to hotels, from university study rooms to offices.

Get the look: Cell 128 sofa

There are already on the market furniture characterized by the original extra height backrest, dedicated to discretion and relaxation, offering reserved moments of isolation, precious for a break or an impromptu work session. Often an elegant coffee table, with support and swivel top, completes the comfort of the furniture, customizable with USB charger.

The real challenge will be to guarantee as much as possible the kind of life we already know in combination with the new safety standards that the various you are going to decide to adopt in the long term.

The Natural Style at Home

The natural style at home: a conscious and eco-sustainable choice but also an opportunity to create relaxing environments.

The natural style is characterized by combinations of sober/neutral materials/colors, inspired by the Scandinavian style. It is not necessary to overturn the house to create the natural style, just choose wisely furniture, accessories and coverings that will make the space more welcoming and intimate.

The natural style enhances the light thanks to specific materials such as wood and rough stone. This encounter between natural light and these organic and naturally imperfect materials gives the environment delicacy and personality.

Get the look: Trestle table

How to create the natural stile at home:

– Wood: it’s the material par excellence that best represents natural style. In addition to furniture, wood is also ideal for covering the walls, resulting in a functional and decorative solution that will give warmth and at the same time keep the atmosphere relaxed.

– Being inspired by Scandinavian style: so we try to opt for a minimalist but comfortable style by choosing pastel colors that recall nature. In the living room we recommend sofas and armchairs with fabric upholstery and wooden frame.

– Using plants as a decorative element: a house full of plants is a house full of life! Perfect in the kitchen and dining room, plants give oxygen, furnish almost better than an accessory and match any style!

Get the look: Acco table

– Less is more: let’s try to concentrate more on essentiality as nature does. Decorate your home only with what is strictly necessary to ensure comfort and well-being of the senses. The environment will be more spacious, bright and therefore harmonious.

Decorate the Garden with Style

Decorate the garden with style. The garden, an outdoor room that deserves the same attention as the indoors.

The garden should be considered on a par with all the other rooms. And like all the rooms in the house it needs care and attention if you want a garden full of style and personality.

To decorate the garden with style you need to focus not only on the care of plants, flowers and grass but also on the choice of practical, functional, comfortable and designer outdoor furniture. Just a few pieces are enough but of quality.

Those who, like us, love design tend to include one or more furnishing or purely decorative elements in their outdoor space, whether it is a large garden or a small outdoor area, in order to create a stylistic continuum with the home.

If you are lucky enough to have a swimming pool you will be very interested in the combination of plants, water and furniture. It is advisable to decorate the pool top with large pots of plants in order to create shade and contrast the flooring which is often concrete. Also, to create a contrast of styles, it is advisable to have small minimalist and modern tables on which to place some drinks or magazines.

If you want to focus exclusively on comfort in an informal but stylish way it is better to opt for the lines of poufs and large pillows that serve as floating mattresses, small sofas and chaise longue.

In any case, the garden must be a totally relaxing place so let’s not forget to include furniture suitable for resting, perhaps with an original design, but ideal for taking a nap during hot afternoons.

Even the classic hammock is perfect and will never go out of fashion, adapting to all styles!

Why are Upholstered Beds so Popular?

Why are upholstered beds so popular? Excellent quality, modern design, comfort and versatility.

Usually upholstered beds have removable covers, functional and modern design. They are available with upholstery in fabric, leather, eco leather or eco nubuck; so the choice is really wide.

Upholstered beds do not want to go unnoticed, as they are the focal point of the bedroom. But, at the same time, they are able to match any style and furnishings.

With a wide, screened, smooth or quilted headboard, the upholstered bed is extremely versatile and can give a touch of elegance and exclusivity to the environment.

Another reason to choose the upholstered bed is comfort. If you’re used to read and watch TV in bed opting for the upholstered bed it’s the best choice. The upholstered headboard that is made of pillows or quilted will be the right choice for your comfort after a long day of work.

In addition, upholstered beds are increasingly equipped with storage units, the perfect solution for tidying up the house and recovering space in the wardrobes. In a small house, upholstered beds with a storage box are almost indispensable, simply lift the bed base and store blankets, linens or bulky suitcases.

Smart Working at Home

Smart working at home: how to furnish the office space at home.

Due also to the health emergency from corona virus the concept of office work has completely changed. The work of the new millennium is smart and mainly “from home”. The advantage is time management: in order to achieve the required goals or deadlines we can modulate it independently, the risk is that we never disconnect.

Create a cozy environment.

In this new context, the boundaries between work and private life seem increasingly blurred and balancing needs is not always easy. It is advisable to create a small working corner all for us, even if you live in a small apartment, where you can arrange your working day in a harmonious way.

Get the look: Albini desk

In today’s modern homes, an environment specifically dedicated to smart working, like a real studio, is a bit obsolete. Hence the need to set up a space inside the living room or even in a bedroom, with versatile and very elegant solutions. Let’s see some examples.

Get the look: Jumbo desk

Avoid office furniture.

One very important thing: no desks and office chairs or cold materials, which remind us of the rigidity and formality of the workplace. The smart working corner should be pleasant, welcoming and reflect our personality and tastes. So even a simple footstool could be used as a chair…

A very important element is the lighting.

If your office corner is illuminated by natural light, this is sure to be a great luxury. Sunlight makes everything more relaxing not only for the spirit, but also for the view.

But in the evening or on dark days it is important to have a good source of artificial light at your disposal; for this you will need to choose the most suitable desk lamp.

Finally, don’t forget the comfort!

If, as in this period, you are forced to work from home for many hours, choose ergonomic, enveloping armchairs, perhaps even with a high backrest that allows the spine to remain straight.

Get the look: Casta armchair

If the office corner is used for a short time, just for the time to take a look at the email, socials or quickly arrange some documents, you can bet much more on aesthetics than comfort.

The Potential of the Square Table

The potential of the square table: square tables are less common than other shapes but they’re actually more versatile.

The square table is less common in our houses than the rectangular or round one. This is because in order to perform at its best (and not remember the small bar tables) it must have the side of a certain width (at least 90 cm).

Get the look: Gualtiero table

Why you should choose a square table.

If the shape of the room is square instead of rectangular, the square table proves to be an appropriate and also original choice. Moreover, it is the shape that best suits interiors that wink to the East, with minimalist and very trendy furnishings. The square table fills the room with extreme elegance without being too invasive, which is why many young couples opt for this solution.

f you are more than four people in the family or if you often invite friends home, opt for a square extendable table; when everyone has left it can be closed without the slightest effort.

Get the look: Illo Plus table

How to place a square table.

The same positioning guidelines apply to square tables as to round tables: they fit well in unstretched spaces. Scenographic and impact, if large they require a suitable area.

Get the look: Skorpio table Cattelan Italia

Positioned at 45° to the walls, instead of parallel, the square tables make the chairs more comfortable. Since the four sides are equal, calculate that the minimum space per diner is 70 cm (the proximity to the corners would cause annoying overlaps). To put 8 people at the table, you need tops over 140 cm on each side.

The ideal location of the dining area is next to a window, to enjoy maximum natural light. A light source should then be provided in the centre, with a single chandelier or several suspensions however grouped, depending on the size of the top.

Get the look: Gordon table Cattelan Italia

Light and essential, the square table designs the space with delicacy, especially the models with glass top and metal structure.

Sophisticated and luxurious if chosen with ceramic top and metal structure.

Living Room and Open Space Kitchen

Living room and open space kitchen: what is the most suitable finish for the furniture?

Do you like the idea of having living room and kitchen together in one place? Some interesting ideas from which to take inspiration to furnish your living room and open space kitchen.

Get the look: Midori stool

When opting for an open space environment, you also have to decide between two alternatives with regard to furniture: choosing the same furniture for both environments or different ones?

Get the look: Collar chair

Get the look: Silla40 chair

In recent years, manufacturers have begun to create truly interesting proposals for a unique style, suitable for both large spaces – to be enhanced by colour contrasts between floors, walls and furniture – and smaller ones, where perhaps a predominance of light colours can help to increase brightness.

Get the look: Tonella sofa

In today’s houses, often very small, especially in the city, combining living room and kitchen can be a necessity as well as a trend: the result is a living area where the actual working area and the typical elements of the living area such as cupboards, bookcases and equipped walls coexist.

Get the look: Tortuga armchair

Opting for the uniformity of the furniture, the modular elements that furnish the kitchen extend with the same finishes and the same colors to the living room, creating a pleasant common thread. You can also give a touch of liveliness to the environment by choosing some colorful furniture, with an original shape.

Get the look: Mini Tortuga armchair

By combining kitchen, living room and dining room you certainly gain more space and above all more light. In addition, family relationships also change. Nowadays it is almost unthinkable to have in an apartment with less than 80 sqm a kitchen divided from the living room. So let’s give life to our inventiveness and imagination!
