Una vivienda con aire burgués ¡llena de vida!

Hisbalit

PROYECTO: FAD CASA Una vivienda con aire burgués ¡llena de vida! El estudio Quefalamaria se enfrentó a un gran reto para diseñar esta casa vallisoletana. Seis meses de trabajo que dieron como resultado una vivienda alegre, llena de vida y color, ¡y totalmente en tendencia! El espacio conserva el aire señorial y burgués original del edificio: el suelo en madera natural y colocado en espiga, las molduras de exquisito gusto en techos, arcos de media vuelta en el dormitorio principal, así como las ventanas con cuarterones que reinan en la fachada Sur y llenan de luz la habitación de invitados y el dormitorio infantil. Uno de los materiales que utilizaron para añadir color a la vivienda fue el terciopelo. Para presidir el salón eligieron terciopelo en tono caldera para los sofás, mientras que en el dormitorio apostaron por el azul marino en el cabecero de gallones,que se lleva todas las miradas. En el salón, el resto de la decoración se creó alrededor de grandes piezas: Dekton XXL para modernizar la chimenea, un espejo en la trasera de las estanterías del salón para multiplicar la luz en ese espacio, y mesas de diseño, consideradas pequeñas obras de arte. El estudio aprovechó un mueble de ébano que ya se encontraba en la casa, pintándolo de un color menta suave con remates en dorado y tiradores en negro. Una vitrina muy reto junto a la mesa del comedor. Para el dormitorio principal, Quefalamaria se decantó por colores frescos y veraniegos, como el mostaza, en la ropa de cama. En esta estancia tan especial crearon una zona de vestidor, un pequeño escritorio y un aparador con espacio para accesorios y para funcionar como tocador.. El dormitorio infantil es un “mundo rosa”, ideal para dar rienda suelta a cualquier sueño. El tono se neutraliza con paredes grises y muebles blancos. Para el dormitorio de invitados eligieron tonalidades más neutras. Entre sus accesorios destacan la gran lámpara de techo, las mesitas en tonos verdes y el gran espejo de cuerpo junto a una butaca. El baño es el efecto “WOW” de la casa. Responde perfectamente al estilo clásico y señorial que fluye por toda la vivienda, con un toque vintage, pero a la vez moderno, que lo hace muy especial. El elemento más especial del baño es el suelo personalizado de mosaico de vidrio ecológico Hisbalit. El estudio eligió el modelo DOTS, de la colección Art Factory, con teselas hexagonales en blanco y negro.. ¡Un diseño clásico que nunca pasa de moda! Las referencias usadas han sido la 101 (negro) y la 103 (blanco), de la colección UNICOLOR.

Dining Room Design Ideas with White Walls and Panelled Walls

A dining room can be used for casual dining, integrated into an open plan and connected to the living and kitchen areas; or as a formal space reserved solely for entertaining. While it may not be used frequently, it is a great focal point in the home, and requires little furnishings. Here's what you need to consider before you start planning a new dining room...

How will you use your dining room?

First, consider how frequently you will use the space. If you plan on using your dining room on a daily basis, a casual dining set-up with sturdy, long-lasting furniture is best. As for where you position it – well, any unused space in the home can be converted into a casual dining space, whether it be at the end of a kitchen island, or at the bottom of the stairs. A formal dining room, on the other hand, is more suited to a dedicated space, which is more common in heritage homes where space originally wasn’t at a premium. Perhaps you want your dining room to multi-task and accommodate everyday meals, homework sessions and grown-up dinner parties… If that’s the case, furniture is key. Look for versatile dining tables in either Australian or New Zealand hardwood or weathered timber for a more rustic look. These won’t show up sticky fingerprints as much and can be dressed up for guests.

What size and shape should your dining table be?

Your dining table should be able to seat all family members with some room for additional guests – each person should have at least 60 centimetres of space at the table. The right size, however, also depends on how much room you have. A general rule of thumb is to leave no less than 1 metre from the dining table to the wall or any additional furniture, so people have enough room to comfortably move around the space. Rectangular dining tables are versatile and can work in a variety of settings, while oval dining tables are more traditional and can turn any meal into an occasion. If you have a tight space to work in, a round dining table is best, and also a great option if you want to encourage conversation. A square dining table can be a dramatic addition to a dining room, but only if you have the space. It allows everyone at the table to see each other, but the bigger the table, the harder it will be able to hold a conversation with someone at the other end.

What type of dining chairs should you choose?

Once you’ve decided on a dining table, look for dining chairs that share a common design element. If your dining table legs are curved, for example, try to match them with dining chairs that have a similar curve, either in the legs or back. Next, consider the dimensions of the chair. The height of your dining chairs should allow at least 30 centimetres between the top of the seat and the top of the table. And to keep your tush happy, avoid dining chairs narrower than 45 centimetres.

How can you decorate your dining room?

Dining rooms are relatively minimal spaces, but that makes them a great place to splash a little colour through artwork, especially if yours is a formal dining room. If your dining room is lacking warmth, consider painting the walls a deep shade of red or blue, or go contemporary with black or grey. A cosy rug will make the space feel more intimate, while a sideboard or cabinet of curiosities will further personalise the space. Often overlooked, dining room lighting can also drastically alter the mood of a room, creating drama, spurring romance or encouraging conversation. Opt for soft lighting in the dining area with dimmer switches, and choose oversized pendants in large, open spaces or to make the dining area more of a focal point. Finally, add some table settings, such as a lace tablecloth for a whimsy feel, or a more basic table runner for a chic look.
