Colors everywhere: discover the hues of CASACOR SP 2017

Colors are all the rage. Not that they weren't before, far from it. It's just that now they've jumped off the walls and taken over the ceiling, floor, furniture, and decorative pieces. Apparently, that fear of overdoing it with the tones or mixing them has been replaced by the desire to be bold. "Painting is taking on a more structural character in environments these days, and that's why gradients, geometric patterns, stripes, and other special techniques are trending. Colors are also rising to the ceilings, creating 'box'-like effects and functioning as a lining. A simple resource, but with a great visual effect," reveals architect and host of the GNT program Decora, Maurício Arruda. And, while the expansion of color mixes is already popular with the public who appreciates them and with professionals who make use of their possibilities, another trend is slowly arriving and is also beginning to claim a leading role. Make way for ombré. Traditional in women's hair aesthetics, this French technique that produces a gradient effect took over the walls of some rooms at CASACOR São Paulo this year. Architect Paula Neder, for example, applied the procedure from top to bottom, starting with a salmon color and ending with an off-white color , in her rustic-style living room . Architects Paula Leme and Luciana Bicheri , from Lounge da Sala de Banho , also opted for this new design, but with the application in reverse, from bottom to top. In addition to ombré, according to Fernanda Figueiredo, color and communication manager for the Coral brand, "it is worth highlighting a different painting technique on walls: irregular geometry", she reveals. Architects Lucy Amicón and Vanessa Ireno invested in this geometric effect, mixing pink and green to color the Girl's Room . René Fernandes also embraced asymmetrical geometric shapes. To create the Reading and Tasting Studio , the architect combined grayish tones with blue. SP Estúdio opted for a geometric shape that comes out of the wall and continues on the furniture in the Baby's Room . In addition to these, other spaces have made color a highlight in their projects: All Architecture - Nômade Studio Luiz Otavio Debeus - Le Salon Studio Leo Romano - Brazil House

"Two years ago, no one would have imagined using baby pink in a living room. Today it is in fashion. Contrary to these tones, in the coming years we will see winter colors gaining more space, such as wine, mustard and moss green. Some will say: 'wow, these colors are too dark!'. My answer: 'but wasn't baby pink too childish?'", jokes the architect. In this video, learn the step-by-step process to replicate the ombré effect in your home: CASACOR SERVICE SAO PAULO 2017 WHEN?
