INTRODUCTIONIn contrast with the traditional concept of the home, where rooms were clearly differentiated and fulfilled very specific functions, current interior design trends are paving the way toward a flexible and modular use of space that efficiently adapts to the needs, tastes, and lifestyles of its occupants, favoring comfort and convenience.This volume offers decorating ideas and inspirational tips through examples of exquisite interiors, boasting a plethora of modern design solutions, including open and spacious living areas, functional kitchens and bathrooms of all sizes and styles, and comfortable bedrooms. All these interiors have been conceived to fulfill the requirements of contemporary living in a variety of contexts: from idyllic beach getaways and modern farmhouse cottages featuring comfortable furnishings and relaxed elegance; through industrial warehouses converted into spacious and airy dwellings with original heavy ceiling beams and brick walls; to urban town houses and apartments that make the most of urban living by opening up their interiors to airy terraces with skyline views.Spaces are often stripped of partitions in benefit of open and airy interiors, creating visual links between adjoining rooms and organization axes; leaving columns as support for sliding panels and cabinets, which in turn serve as space organizers; creating spaces that can be used independently or continuously to adapt to different uses.Probably the kitchen and the bathroom have experienced the most noticeable changes: the kitchen, as a renovated heart of the house, is, whenever possible, a place for social interaction, a meeting point for family reunions and the entertainment of groups of people.The bathroom ceases to be an isolated room tucked into the back of a house. It becomes a room that evokes wellness. In some cases, it becomes part of the bedroom, in what we call “en suite.”
