my notes on interior design and decoration
Today’s article is about sofas and, in particular, about modular sofas.

Even more in this particular time caused by the pandemic that led us to “live” our home like never before. Modular sofas give us…
In December of last year, I published a post in Italian about the electric blue color, explaining how I expected it to become a very trendy color in 2020. And it turns out I was right. In particular, the KLEIN BLUE (also called IKB-International Klein Blue) is very trendy right now both in design and in interior. As the name…

The palettes are presented through four stories that help us rediscover the home with new…
The new IKEA 2021 catalog was released on August 21st. It is a special edition because this year the Ikea’s catalog turns 70!
