We have just started 2022! The perfect time to renovate the house and give it a different and trendy air. In this new year, they are going to take comfortable, cozy and comfortable houses. Unique, personal and warm spaces that make us find peace and happiness facing this strange moment that we have had to live.
And to find out what trends are going to take place, and what we can do to make our home more comfortable, from Decoesfera we have spoken with Alberto Torres, interior designer and creative director of PortobelloStreet.es.
The open spaces are taken away
The concept of open houses is a trend. Not only in interior decoration, but opening the kitchen to the living room or dining room facilitates mobility through the space, visually enlarges it and helps to gain luminosity. But the best thing is that it encourages conversation and participation as a family. And that, in these times, is a rising value.
Bet on custom furniture
If you want a house that is yours, run away from the standardized pieces that anyone could have in their house, and get some furniture as you get your house to have personality.
A sofa is an investment in your well-being
We spend many hours of our lives on the sofa. To read, watch a movie, our favorite series, or to rest and do nothing. Therefore, it is important to choose a comfortable sofa that fits in with the rest of the decor. And don’t forget to measure the spaces well.

Multifunctional furniture? Yes thanks
Alberto Torres is committed to buying multifunctional furniture. And in the writing of Decoesfera we cannot agree more with this option. In small rooms, furniture with various functions will save your life. There are a thousand options: a desk that turns into a dining table, a sofa that turns into a guest bed, living room furniture that integrates the fireplace, etc.
Take care of the lighting in all spaces
Lighting is key for our house to be comfortable. Remember that a poorly lit house will turn into a cold space. Therefore, it is essential to take care of the lighting in the home so that the environment is cozy. Lean on ceiling and floor lamps to provide
general lighting but do not forget the table lamps that, well distributed, will help you create very cozy environments.

The light, your ally
Whether your home lacks a lot of natural light or is bright, don’t
cover the entrances of the light with furniture, no matter how small. Natural light will help you create a warm, more vivid and welcoming environment.
Try to have a unique space to work
In these times of pandemic, telecommuting has become the daily life of many people. And whenever possible, it is necessary to have your own space for this, to concentrate, but also to be able to disconnect one hundred percent when you finish working.
Includes some design piece
To further personalize your home, you can include a piece of design. Some Wishbone chairs or the CH46 by Hans Wegner, the Tulip table by Eero Saarinen or the Eames Lounge Chair by Charles & Ray Eames are some of the ideal pieces for your home to exude style and elegance. If you do not have
budget for an original piece, try a good replica.
The natural is trend
At home, bet on the natural. Fill your house with plants to improve the atmosphere, help regulate the temperature and humidity of your home. In addition, there are species that are very easy to care for and that are leafy and elegant, perfect for any corner of your house.
The house, always in order
If you want to be happy and be comfortable, order is key. Because it is useless to pamper every last detail if you don’t keep it tidy. Use accessories such as boxes and baskets that, in addition to decorating, help keep everything in order.
The scent will help you make a difference
Have you noticed that memories are always associated with a scent? For this reason, and because if a space smells good we do not feel better, it is important to always perfume the houses. Ventilate well and choose a fragrance that
define and not be overwhelming. Fresh scents like lemon, lavender, or tea tree are perfect so that the house always smells good.

Unique walls
Give life to the walls of your house with special pieces. Choose ate works or paintings with color and character to give personality to the space. Investing in one or two pieces of art will raise the bar for your home.
The power of wallpaper
Wallpaper always helps to renew any room. In the bathroom, bedroom or kitchen, this wallpaper is a resource to give personality to a space. If you don’t want to abuse, ask yourself just place it on a wall: it will add depth, dynamism and a lot of style. Those with delicate botanical motifs, for example, are a timeless option that will keep the space in trend and those that simulate a material, for example, will help give the rooms personality.

Change the color of the walls
Have you already tired of that soft yellow color that you have in the living room? Ask yourself return to your home the original white of the walls, although with some nuance. If it is a house with little natural light, avoid the purest white
and choose a tone with a grayish or beige hue that provides greater warmth to the environment. You will make the space look bigger, brighter and cleaner. If you have a large house with natural light, opt for wallpaper or wood paneling.
Best natural fabrics
This season, dress the sofa, bed and windows in natural fabrics such as cotton, linen or silk. Besides being more decorative, they are
higher quality, more natural alternatives to other acrylic options.
Dress the floors of the house
To have a comfortable home, carpets cannot be missing. These decorative elements, in addition to giving style and helping to delimit spaces, function as thermal and acoustic insulators, and protect the footprint. Do not limit yourself to placing rugs in the living room and dining room, but also dress the bedrooms and passageways. You will appreciate it!
The Amba rug costs 925 euros.
Reserve a space just for you
To improve our well-being, it is important to have a place reserved for us at home. Whether it is a space to do yoga, a place in the
To develop your crafts or a little reading corner, give yourself the luxury of allowing yourself an area of the house that is just for you and your hobbies.
A house to the last
To increase your quality of life, get the latest technologies. Lights that turn on and off with the voice, blinds that go up and down according to the schedule or appliances that are controlled from the mobile will achieve a smart home. Home automation will help
your home is much more comfortable and will turn it into a temple of comfort.
