Design exhibitions throughout Europe present their news and it is clear that the use of color enters home design more than ever, as well as the worlds of fashion. Deep and beautiful Biscay blue, and Brique in shades of red wine, purple and green, are just some of the colors you'll see in armchairs and even serving dishes in your home. The idea is to know how to create combinations, says Carmit Redlich, owner of the quality brand "prat living": touches of color in the carpets, a combination of armchairs in Biscay blue, a color that, as mentioned, is going to be strong and prominent this year, alongside purples. brique color in wine tone and more. Games of red and blue that stretch the boundaries. The idea is to combine the color in the small items, in the details.

This year, too, the Danish design houses are focusing on returning and gratitude to nature, in which the colors move around shades of sand and earth - usually soft, caressing, warm (appropriate for the cold half of the year) through smoky ocean tones - deep encounters between blue and green and through a wide range of Green as a tribute to the vegetation that surrounds us, which is getting more and more space in the design of the space in recent years. In the sector of the Spanish, German, as well as the Finnish and Norwegian design houses, a certain turn is expected this year in terms of colors.
