For those looking to revitalize their decor – whether at home, in the office or in any other space – painting half walls can be the perfect solution. They are a great way to bring more creativity and personality to interior spaces, without overloading the composition. Much sought after at CASACOR exhibitions, they give décor a surprising and pleasant appearance. Check out different ways to use this trend below!

A decor full of energy

[galeria-abril id="95225" type="slider" showtitle="false" data-restrict="false"] In this space for socializing, Leila Bittencourt thought of colors as the key to a cheerful decor. The Coral #Co.living Loft , which was part of CASACOR Rio de Janeiro in 2019, was created based on an open plan, where the furniture can be rearranged in different ways. In it, the designer pieces are the real highlight. The positive energy that the loft emanate is directly rooted in the warm color palette chosen for the walls – with shades of blue, green and orange –, and also in the vigor of the natural hanging plants.

Vibrant tones

The bright orange tone of this kitchen by Jean de Just catches the eye right away – it runs across all the walls of the 65 m² space, which connects three areas as if they were one. Called Além de Cozinha , the CASACOR Rio de Janeiro project features a marble island as the central element of the space, which contrasts with the vibrant tones of the furniture. When applied to just half a wall, these tones make the decor more creative and are not tiring to the eyes. The combination with lighter elements contributes to an elegant and lively composition.

To dictate an atmosphere

The colors are perhaps the most striking feature of the decoration project, which features a soft grayish blue tone on two-thirds of the walls, alongside a personality-filled eggplant purple. Designer pieces from the 1960s bring a refreshing, surprising and positive feel to the lobby. The combination innovates in the way the robust art collection is displayed, usually neutralized on a white background.

Elegance in the workplace

Designed by Taciana Nakalski , the Businesswoman's Home Office was highlighted at CASACOR Paraná 2019 for combining functionality and technology in 36 m². A shade of grayish green calms the eye, while at the same time bringing personality to the decor. It runs along the wall behind the office desk and overlaps two photographs positioned there. Next to it, a slatted wood panel completes the composition.

The face of new living

[galeria-abril id="95228" type="slider" showtitle="false" data-restrict="false"] Busy lives, constant moving, business trips – the new nomads are people who live in big cities and spend more time away from home than at home. With this in mind, the Estúdio Nômade was designed, which, like its occupant, is flexible, has a loose layout and caters to a wide range of activities and functions. Designed by Todos Arquitetura at CASACOR São Paulo in 2017, the space was created with neutral colors, such as the blue and white of the walls, which are not in the foreground and, therefore, do not suffer major impacts from possible changes in furniture.

Colors and sobriety

The decor on top of these was created with sobriety, albeit in an eclectic way, mixing pieces of Tenório's own design with those of major Italian brands. The balanced and adult atmosphere is due to the dark tones, such as gray and brown, as well as the works of art, such as the rosewood panel by Joaquim Tenreiro and the photos by Yuri Serôdio and Mario Cravo Neto.

A way to subvert the traditional

Maicon-Antoniolli-loft-kaleidoscoop-CCSP-2018

[/caption] As the name of the space suggests, the Loft Caleidoscoop was inspired by the three sides of a kaleidoscope and the use of color in composition, distortion and fragmentation. As a bold aesthetic exercise, Maicon Antoniolli 's space for CASACOR São Paulo 2018 does not feature any white surfaces. To achieve this, the architect sought references in the works of German colorist Josef Albers, who relates colors to the sensation of depth. The professional went a step further and, instead of choosing complementary or analogous tones for the decoration, he used a range of unconventional, but still surprising, compositions.
