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.

Milan Design Week 2021: interior trends

The forum, which “floods” the whole of Milan with the giant furniture design exhibition Salone del Mobile and many other smaller events and art installations, is of large-scale importance for interior design professionals, as it highlights the main trends in the industry. “To feel in your skin again – truly irreplaceable!” – says arch. Iveta Popova after her return from the largest international design event – Milan Design Week.

“After a year and a half of lull in major events, visiting Milan Design Week from a professional point of view is more than inspiring. I can quite consciously say that attending this forum is very important for me and has always validated the creative directions of the studio’s development. We saw incredibly beautiful installations, innovative design and more importantly – we created new contacts and exchanged experience with international colleagues.”

 

Nature and its constant presence in the home

A trend that we have observed in recent years and is here to stay is the presence of nature and earth elements in the home. Fabrics and materials such as wood, marble, stone, precious metals such as nickel, bronze, rose-gold; linen, wool, cotton, strengthen their positions and are even more daring in their participation in the interior through unusual patterns, coarse knitting, rough and natural surfaces.

Milan-Design-Week-2021_materials

An accent with shapes and patterns imitating vegetation is also noticeable, as well as the presence of living plants incorporated into the design.

Milan-Design-Week-2021_nature-elements

The color palette is entirely pastel with strong earth tones – brown, beige, ocher, tile, gray. And most brands are focusing on shades of green, and the trend is to make colorful and distinctive faucets and ceramics in the bathroom.

Finishes and textures

The surfaces are extremely diverse and combine each other – smooth, matte, ribbed, glossy, transparent, mirrored. The desired effect is the activation of the senses and provocation.

Milan-Design-Week-2021_ribs

The reliefs and patterns on the glass windows are reminiscent of retro design – ribbing, even imitation of broken glass or a water surface.

Milan-Design-Week-2021_glass

Innovation, eco and sustainable design

More and more systematic work is being done in the direction of sustainable and eco-friendly design. Extremely demanded by consumers in the West themselves, this is the reason for brands to persistently develop new and interesting implementations of recycled materials – plastics, paper and others. An absolute trend is antibacterial coatings, as well as easy-to-clean and maintainable fabrics.

The solutions of lighting brands in this direction are admirable, but we will pay special attention to them in the next article. [:]

How to refresh the home through the choice of textiles?

[:bg]

Current interior trends in textiles, furniture and decorations can be your solution to refresh your home and at the same time bring lasting change.

 

The wealth of varieties of textiles can be both captivating and completely confusing to make a decision. Therefore, today we will pay attention to some trends that we find highly attractive and suitable for lovers of bold choices in the interior. Thus, we hope to give guidance on how to easily change the look of the home, even by reupholstering your favorite sofa or changing chairs in the dining room.

Pique

We will skip the too lush jacquard, but not the piqué, which impresses with its variety of shapes – combs, squares or even rhombic elements. What we like most about it is that there are no smooth lines in the texture of the tip. To some extent, the popularity of piqué textiles comes precisely because of the original texture – on the one hand, furniture and other accessories made of this material look solid and simple, and on the other, attractive and modern.

Smallpox

Very durable and preferred by us are textiles with a fine pattern and relief, combining two or three colors of threads. They allow you to make vast combinations with monochromatic accents in the home and are a gathering point of several shades. Most often these are cotton fabrics, but you can find variations with linen or wool that look wonderful. The interesting to the touch pattern creates an additional experience through the feel of the fabric and is appropriately complemented by larger or finer textures.

ATGdesign-blogpost-sofas

The choice of upholstery of a sofa or armchair, for example, makes it possible to add decorative pillows of different colors and fabrics or a blanket with a larger knit, combining one or two colors of the pattern of textiles. It is important not to forget about the carpet as a factor in the overall décor, which can carry similar elements 😉

The combinations of two fabrics on furniture are extremely relevant. There is a wide choice in the design of chairs, for example, which combine – leather and wool, velvet and cotton or cotton and leather. When developing conceptual interior solutions, the choice of this type of furniture helps to pleasantly complement the overall idea and selection of materials in the home.

Here are some favorite examples of chair variations, both in the model itself and in the upholstery. In addition to the combination of contrasting fabrics to the touch, you can also experiment in different color combinations. These three wonderful specimens can be seen in our office and showroom Design Lab.

An elegant and stylish pattern is herringbone. It can fit very well both in the office space of the home and in the living room according to the choice of a combination of colors. What attracts us the most to these fabrics with several thread colors is the illusion of a 3D effect that some of them create. In this way, you will definitely grab attention on the furniture, even if you choose a simpler and cleaner home design.

RD-2: a museum-sculpted interior in which comfort is on a pedestal

Fine aesthetics to the detail, combined with functional and stylish solutions – this is the character of the RD-2. Inspiring textures and precisely smooth surfaces are spread over a total area of 120 sq.m. The apartment consists of a bedroom with a bathroom, a study, a corridor and a unified living space that combines a kitchen, dining room and living room.

ATGdesign-RD2-residencial-interiordesign-photo-3

Photo: Mihaela Draganova

The unity of the living room with the vestibule is easily achieved by choosing a large-scale tile for the flooring. Granite tiles with a pattern resembling a mosaic are an expression of bold taste and a reference to museum interiors. The owner of the apartment “collects” memories that he wanted to arrange in the new home. Thus, souvenirs and favorite items found their place in beautiful glass showcases with a mirrored surface when they are dark.

ATGdesign-RD2-residencial-interiordesign-photo-8

Photo: Mihaela Draganova

Thus, the whole concept of the interior develops around the theme of “Travel and Memories”, and the design is visually on the edge between public and residential. You will notice that the accent in the hallway and living room are large mirrors, elegant surfaces and showcases that optically expand the space and resemble a gallery. However, comfort is not neglected, but on the contrary – emphasized by the strong presence of natural materials such as wood, marble, stone, leather, wool, silk. In this way, the connection with nature comes to the fore and contributes to the creation of comfort and warmth necessary for the perfect home.

ATGdesign-RD2-residencial-interiordesign-photo-7

The walls are covered with cladding, creating an eye-pleasing play between the reliefs of the different materials. White is not boring latex, but wallpaper with natural threads, complementing the feeling of coziness. The marble has a place of honor in the living room and bedroom, reminiscent of a work of art – again a contextual connection with the museum.

The decoration is mostly in gold and pink-gold metal surfaces to bring a noble touch and warmth.

ATGdesign-RD-2-deco

The kitchen is minimalistically designed in black and white colors. There is a small coffee area next to the window, so that in the morning the owner can enjoy the wonderful view of Vitosha Mountain. The small drawers and the vertical winery stand out as a cool design element of the built-in furniture. A recurring detail are the smoky showcases, which maintain the subtle aesthetics throughout the apartment.

ATGdesign-RD2-residencial-interiordesign-photo-11

Photo: Mihaela Draganova

The cabinet speaks of a soft and noble character. Leading is the white color, combined with subtle gray and brown shades. Natural wood parquet matches the cladding and gives a warm look to the room, while the white ceiling and light curtains open up the room even more.

ATGdesign-RD2-residencial-interiordesign-photo-22

The lighting can be adjusted by removing and placing individual panels thanks to their magnetic grip. This feature allows residents to easily transform a home office into a children’s room in the future, for example. Again, we see that the library has been created with the ability to arrange favorite elements of residents to create a pleasant working atmosphere.

The predominant materials in the bedroom are wood, leather and textiles. Wooden parquet is a choice for flooring and in the bedroom, which goes perfectly with the bed with leather and textile trim. The specially designed bedside table has a drawer for watches and jewelry, which stands out with a leather finish.

ATGdesign-RD2-residencial-interiordesign-photo-31

Photo: Mihaela Draganova

The shelf under the TV is slightly reminiscent of the one in the kitchen and suggests the space reserved for green plants that always bring freshness.

The design of the two bathrooms stands out with an interesting playfulness in the geometry and imperfection of the tiles. Bathroom lighting #1 is designed with perpendicular and parallel LED strips that emphasize straight shapes and are a counterpoint to the oval of the sink and mirror.

ATGdesign-RD-2-bathroom01

Bathroom #2 is noticeable a beautiful relief of the tiles – each looks unique and carries the imperfection of nature. Again, geometric shapes prevail on one of the walls, creating the illusion of depth with their black color.

You can walk around the finished apartment together with the owner Radi Dobrevski, who in the third edition of the My Perfect Home by ATG design video series shares about his favorite details of the new home. More details and photos can be found in our portfolio.

“Ethereal Nature” – 3D project for a luxury bathroom

[:bg]

A CREATIVE CONCEPT BASED ON FREEDOM OF SPIRIT AND CONNECTION WITH NATURE

The famous Ideal Standard Bathroom of the Year competition with each subsequent edition distinguishes the high level of interior design in Bulgaria and we are openly provoked with our participation to show not only a beautiful design, but also an exciting conceptual project.

ATGdesign-bathroom-of-the-year-Idealstandard-contest (2)

Inspired by the growing demand for man to be close to nature in his daily life, we developed an interior for a luxury bathroom “Ethereal Nature”. The idea is for the exterior to enter the interior of a personal and intimate space – that of the bathroom. We achieve this interconnection through the panoramic showcase and the living tree next to the bathtub. The soft, dense curtain creates a feeling of coziness and tenderness, while serving as a décor of the “stage” around the bathtub, the unequivocal accent of which is lamps in the shape of stylized birds (Brokis- Night Birds).

ATGdesign-bathroom-of-the-year-Idealstandard-contest (4)

In addition to paneling, the design concept is supported both visually and meaningfully by slabs with a natural marble vision from Fiandre’s Eco-Active series. These plates, with their antibacterial and photoactive coating that purifies the air from toxic molecules, are an innovative solution and solidly complement the intention to build an environment closer to natural purity and airiness.

ATGdesign-bathroom-of-the-year-Idealstandard-contest (4)

The layout also speaks of freedom and ease of movement of the occupant, providing enough “floating” space. The shower cabin in the center with all-glass walls, as well as the free-standing bathtub next to the showcase, are a provocation and a reflection of the brave and carefree spirit.

ATGdesign-bathroom-of-the-year-Idealstandard-contest (4)

The elegant ceramics and faucets of the Ideal Standard fit in perfect harmony with the design. This is the point of balance between etherity – the personification of freedom on the one hand, and strength – associated with roots, strength and stability, on the other.

Blue as Harmony

[:bg]

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.

ATG-design-Color-of-the-year-bedroom-design

3D visualisation by ATG design

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?

ANA-Arquitectura20-a1-1580x549-source-inhabitat-com

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.

living-roofs-rooftop-gardens-book-02-source-architecturaldigest-com

source: architecturaldigest.com

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.

Rooftop-Terrase-swing-source-pinimg-com

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.

Roof-Terrace-Design-Kings-Cross04-source-gardenbuilders

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.

ATG design blog post 4 bedroom tips - lighting

3D visualisation by ATG design

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

ATG design blog post 4 bedroom tips - wardrobe

3D visualisation by ATG design

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.

ATG design blog post 4 bedroom tips - wardrobe ideas

  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.

ATG design blog post 4 bedroom tips - mirror

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.

The walls speak – an accent in the home with which you will impress

A mirror of fluid and experimental human nature, the trends for 2019 in home decoration are bold and more and more people dare to apply them in their homes. This year is definitely characterized by a shift in focus away from gray, neutral shades and a search for more vibrant colors on the walls to enrich spaces with a rich visual experience.

ATG design bedroom interior

3D visualization: ATG design

For a relatively long period, the leading choice in the interior was the gray range, creating a feeling of more air. This really frees up space for the presence of other types of accents. Now, however, people need to attract new emotions and sensations and turn to fresher tones and bold patterns. We notice a demand for more energy, with some preferring to be wrapped in colors directly. This study of the consumer outside the traditional framework is also due to the desire to establish their own style in the interior, which expresses a specific individuality and taste.

Connection with nature

This change in thinking takes the form of a harmonious restoration of the relationship with nature and its presence in different ways. Floral patterns are super relevant, and not from this year. Their consolidation as an active element in 2019 suggests an increasingly strong recognition with nature as part of the home. This really breathes new life into the walls and makes them a leading accent at the expense of a more neutral color scheme in the furniture.

The variety of patterns on almost any materials (wallpaper, tiles, textiles) allows the implementation not only in one room, but a synchronous approach with repetitive motifs throughout the home.

Live presence

Currently, Pinterest is measuring a 286% increase in demand for vertical gardens on the platform. Undoubtedly, this registers an obvious trend for the presence of nature, and not only as a pattern or print, but absolutely real. We often approach with the implementation of an entire green wall of natural vegetation. This even helps to contrast with the wall next door, highlighting the features of both.

Relief and textures

Tactile sensations add a new line of perception to the atmosphere and if you are a connoisseur of distinctive design, you should take advantage. An absolute favorite in 2019, the embossed patterns on the walls bring a touch of splendor, but at the same time can also show an elegant taste, combined correctly. Creating a contrast between two different fabrics is extremely appealing, and if you are not a fan of bright colors, this is a suitable way to create a distinctive element on the walls of the interior, preserving the range.

A stylish choice in this case would be the luxurious Belgian wall cladding made of natural materials OMEXCO and KHROMA, which demonstrate the unlimited possibilities of wallpaper in creating original interiors. Of course, this type of texture matching is thin ice for non-professionals. There is a real risk of overdoing it and instead of a subtle presence of matter, it will result in a crowded and pompous interior. Without hesitation, it is best to turn to a trusted designer to achieve the desired effect. [:]

The charm of the Mediterranean architectural style

Since the beginning of May, we have been in a series of long weekends. With the first warm and green days, everyone is looking for an opportunity to relax in a pleasant and cozy place. What could be better than a long holiday at the villa? And probably, most of us are already starting to “tighten” the villas for the summer season. And if you are a lover of luxurious and sophisticated style, then surely you like Mediterranean architecture and dream of achieving its charm in your home. And have you ever wondered what makes it so distinctive and attractive?

Photo source: www.homedit.com

In addition to always reminding us of Mediterranean beaches and salty breezes, it is characteristic that it is a mixture of several geographical regions – it has borrowings from both the Spanish and Italian styles. Of course, for us, the white cement facades mostly remind us of our closer Greece, but they also carry this architectural spirit. They are considered, broadly speaking, Mediterranean, since they all share some typical elements.

Photo source: www.homedit.com

Such are the many decorative motifs, heavy doors, light façade and tiles, fragments of wrought iron. Let’s not miss the romantic arch, which can be seen from the very entrance gate of the yard, and even on a sculpted window. And in contrast to the façade in neutral tones is the ceramic red roof, which turns the house into a home.

Photo source: www.homedit.com

The modern interpretation of Mediterranean architecture has an emphasis on a casual lifestyle and open spaces. This also determines the choice of furniture with an extremely comfortable design, suitable for relaxation.

Photo source: www.freshome.com

It is almost mandatory to have at least one floor designed with spacious openings. If it is impossible to have a large terrace, then a gazebo or a summer kitchen can make use of the stay outside in a cozy corner.

Photo source: www.homedit.com

Of course, each owner of such a residence shows his personal reading of convenience and style. Some will bet on exquisite taste with heavy and antique furniture, rich textures and patterns reminiscent of a villa in Tuscany. Others will choose the familiar comfort of a soft sofa, but in light and neutral shades.
