2022 – a year of transformation and high vibrations

The Color of the Year is an initiative that we follow closely, both globally and indicated by the largest color company Pantone, and locally with its participation in the workshops organized by Orgachim, which aim to bring out the most popular trends for the region of Bulgaria in terms of colors.

Our society continues to turn to color as a mirror of its inner world, searches and inspiration, and colors are a powerful “weapon” of communication of our moods. With the shocks at the global level in the last 2 years, it is quite normal for the direction to be transformation and change of the individual and collective vibration.

Purple as innovation and transformation

For the first time, Pantone is creating an entirely new shade to be leading in 2022. According to Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, the purple shade Very Peri is a reflection of what is happening globally, namely through the creation of the new color, it reflects on universal transformation and global innovation.

Purple tones have always symbolized increased vibration and self-awareness, and the complex essence of Very Peri – a combination of red violets with blue notes, is an expression of creativity, the development of ideas, emotions and the search for growing opportunities for humanity.

 

Medara – the power of internal energy

Orgachim this year again they bring out an extremely energizing shade under the name Medara. It is part of the orange range and is distinguished by tone, strong energy and warmth. The color is a beautiful reference to the bright fashion of the 60s with its retro taste, drama and original presence.

Medara goes extremely well with natural materials such as wood, leather, linen. White and dark gray accentuate and liberate it.

Both colors – Medara and Very Peri, are suitable as an accent presence in the home due to their strong character. We advise you to include them in the interior on one of the walls through paint or beautiful wallpaper, for furniture – chairs, sofa or decoration – pillows, blanket, objects. In this way, they will be able to manifest their bright radiance without intrusion. Here are two examples of how we implemented the two colors as an accent in the interior of a bathroom:

We combined Very Peri with fresh white, frosted black and smoky glass. We combined medara with the presence of wood, large raster, white, and gold is just a wink to the warm radiance of space. In both cases, we have included an imitation of a mosaic, in which the leading color and complementary shades must be present to achieve homogeneity.

Of course, we will not ignore the fact of how well these two colors fit together. If you are a supporter of a more eclectic style, then you can safely experiment and combine them in one space. To complete the abundance of sensory sensations, you can add plush, long hair and coarse rasters to this interior. The presence of impressive carpets is very relevant, which not only through colors, but also shapes will express your expressive essence. Purple and orange bring a touch of Orient and will refresh your home qualitatively.

Blue as Harmony

Favorite shades of blue conquer the world with the trend “Color of the Year” on a global and local level in the interior.

In the interior, we always adhere to clean lines and minimalist style, in which the tenderness of white and the veins of marble are leading. We admit openly that for ATG design, blue has always been a favorite choice for an accent color and in this line of thought, “Blue Harmony” – the local trend chosen as the color of the year by “Orgachim”, is a shade in which we recognize ourselves as distinctive for our work. It fits very well with the palette of white and gray tones and highlights the natural materials, such as wood and stone, that we prefer to work with.

What moods does blue bring us?

For example, for a bedroom project, we choose “Blue Harmony” to be in the lead role on the wall opposite the window. Thus, by reflecting daylight, the whole room is immersed in a blue hue and during the day it gives a sense of calm and balance.

At the same time, our demand is to express character and confidence in the bold decision for a predominant and saturated color in the room. We believe that with the presence of different textiles in the room, a pleasant variety of surfaces is achieved, which contrast with the smooth furniture, mirrors and stone. This speaks not only of confident style, but also confirms the exquisite taste of the inhabitant.

Roof terrace – a gift in the urban jungle

We choose to dream on a smog-enveloped day. Even though the air is so cold and turns tiny droplets into frost, we’re mentally drawn to a season where we’re more in love with the city. The warm months naturally provoke us to look for more open spaces, and the pleasure of having a roof terrace, we believe, is a privilege of God’s chosen ones in the urban jungle. Without a hint of envy, such a space is truly a gift. That is why we dedicate the following lines to a few ideas on how best to use it.

And what could be better than planning a renovation for spring, when you will already be looking forward to enjoying the time spent there?

In a house or apartment, the roof terrace offers many amazing options for decoration and furnishing. Natural materials such as wood and stone will remain an inevitable trend, which can contribute to coziness and will also bring you closer to the feeling of a villa in nature. Greenery is also a must in this line of thought – the abundance of plants will create a welcoming atmosphere and is an opportunity to create a natural barrier or décor that will hide less inhospitable views, for example.

As architects putting functionality first, our leading question would be – how will the space be used? For relaxation and solitude or for dinners with friends and night cinema?

In the first case, we would advise you to bet on upholstered furniture with the possibility of complete relaxation and enjoying the view. According to the conditions, you can bet on a hanging swing or hammock instead of an armchair. This will give a more buhemian and casual look to the place.

If your goal is to get together with friends for or without an occasion, then it is good to keep in mind the construction of a small kitchen, barbecue or bar that will serve your good time. At a minimum, there would also be a dinner table for six people. If you want to avoid the pretentious style again – benches with a minimalist design can be a very good choice. We also highly recommend built-in furniture, which can significantly optimize space and also bring a dose of minimalism.

And despite its goals, there are a few must-have elements that we recommend considering when planning your future roof terrace.

One of them is certainly the fireplace!

The advantage of bio fireplaces in modern design is that they can be implemented in unusual places, thus optimizing the space and allowing everyone to be around the fire. For example, you can implement it in the center of a solid stone table. This will bring not only atmosphere to the evening gatherings, warmth in the cooler months and will not limit you from enjoying the spectacular view in the fall.

Creating a shed would also be a nice bonus, especially if you also have day parties on the weekend or want to have the opportunity to take a break from sunbathing in the shade. On the one hand, you can bet on a solid shed to cover part of the furniture – this is a convenience in the rainy/snowy months. On the other hand, it is nice to form a patterned shade with beams, on which you can place an airy fabric or glass. It is important, of course, to take it into account in your context and especially to keep in mind the solstice in the different seasons, so that its function is optimal.

4 Important elements for a harmonious bedroom interior

The bedroom is a reflection of the most personal preferences and style of its occupant. If for some it is a place where they cram only for a healthy sleep and do not pay much attention to it, then for others it is a secret temple. If the latter is for you – the interior should speak for itself with the necessary grandeur for this, of course. How to achieve this fascinating essence – we will share a few simple elements that we think are key to building the foundation, the rest is a matter of personal taste!

  1. COMBINATION OF COLORS

Keeping in mind that the bedroom is the room where you are looking for peace, privacy and relaxation – it is natural that the colors are harmoniously selected to bring this feeling. Our advice here is to choose one main one and two more that are in range with it, so that they complement it pleasantly without intrusion. For the more daring, it is possible to include as a leading and more active color. This mostly corresponds to the haratare, being a true reflection of your essence. Usually, however, this room of the apartment is accentuated with soft tones, which suggest relaxation of the eyes – the most strongly influenced in sensory terms.

If you still want to add a bright color as an accent to the décor, it is good to match it to the other shades and materials in the room, such as – what is the tone of the color of wood, marble or metal elements; so that it fits naturally among them.

  1. LIGHT

Free up the space around the windows! When planning the decoration, minimize decorations or furniture that can prevent light from entering the room. Of course, as a place for a good night’s sleep, it is good to have more solid curtains or thick blinds that provide an opportunity to darken even on the sunniest day.

When we make the architectural plan of a building – our team always relies on larger, and where appropriate – panoramic windows. We are of the opinion that the presence of natural light qualitatively changes the overall feeling, especially in the bedroom.

The same can be said for lighting fixtures – properly selected lighting gives a different touch in the late hours of the day and can significantly change how a room looks. An increasingly popular trend is the implementation of controlled and directional lighting. This allows you to both reduce the strength of the lamps and their shade. And when placing directional lighting, it’s very important to know what kind of focus you want to give.

  1. CLOAKROOM

Yes – in a word, a lot of space! In order not to be present as your regular guest in the bedroom, we advise you to think in the direction of separating enough space for things and clothes. A clever approach that the ATG design team likes is to dedicate to this place located behind the bed itself. Thus, the nook reserved for messy fashion thoughts remains isolated in its own part of the room.

  1. MIRROR

A beautiful and necessary element in the interior of the bedroom is the mirror. We strongly believe that its presence is not only mandatory by necessity, but also brings a very elegant visual finish. And when we talk about smaller spaces, this is a stylish solution that you would like to use for the optical expansion of the space.

As we emphasized at the beginning – these are the basics. Each next step should take into account them in order to have homogeneity of the choice and combinations. Thus, in addition to pleasing the eye, they will remain stable over time. This will allow you to regularly play with smaller elements of decoration to refresh the room.

Bold and modern – your home as a mirror of your essence

[:bg]

If there is something that betrays the character of a person, it is his habits. And if there is something that betrays the character of the home, it is its decoration.

Small details can turn the feeling of vast spaces upside down. There is no denying that you often notice small accents that tell you a lot – both about the place itself and about its inhabitants. So why underestimate the decoration of your own apartment?

In many cases, this is a never-ending process – precisely because you are constantly changing your tastes and changing your style. And it’s better that it is! The right accents have the power to significantly improve the interior, and an eclectic mix of elements in the space can be a request for modern and elegant taste in step with trends.

Always in fashion

An approach that we often choose in our work is for the overall interior to be in a clean and minimalist style. This allows you to play with key decorative elements that give the desired finish, bring color and even be a leading accent. This way you will always be able to distinguish yourself with the latest fashion, updating the decoration with a new, up-to-date item that will also reflect the change in your inner world.

A favorite trick that we apply in our latest projects is to add unique fashion objects that have the power to unlock life in a room in unexpected ways. A soulmate that we recognized in this endeavor are our partners from Elegant living. With them, we always manage to find the right decoration to emphasize the distinctive features of the character of our customers.

We believe that this approach can be adapted to any home, even if at first glance some of you interpret this as too bold and modern a way to insert a decorative element that will instantly grab attention. You should definitely not rule out this option, especially when you are looking for a strong accent to enhance the clean interior.

For extravagant and bold personalities, choosing an item visible outside the context of space is a very cool way to break up a minimalist and stylish home. This adds a bold touch to classic furnishings, for example.

Considering the decoration as an absolute mirror of your essence, it sounds logical to choose it yourself in the nuances of your mood and preference. For those of you with a pronounced affinity for design and distinct aesthetics, such an undertaking would rather be a personal bonus and a key to establishing your own style in décor. For others, however, it may be a wrong step away from the otherwise beautiful and conceptually built interior.

The application of accents should be in the direction of creating thrill through decorative elements and striving for a fashionable experience in an elegant home. So if you don’t feel brave enough and confident in supporting the “right” decoration, then our advice is to trust a specialist who will fully reflect your nature through specific objects. This will create a space that will be a real satisfaction for your senses and personal inspiration in your every day. [:]
