Rodrigo Peixoto - Origem Presente. Um convite a desacelerar marca o ambiente Origem Presente, que ocupa 40 m² e resgata a essência do habitar. A proposta nasce da relação entre memória e contemporaneidade, traduzindo o tema Mente e Coração em uma arquitetura sensorial e acolhedora. Materiais naturais, tons terrosos e texturas táteis criam uma atmosfera íntima. O resultado é um espaço que estimula bem-estar, pertencimento e reconexão com aquilo que realmente importa.

The wall finishes play a central role in contemporary interiors. Instead of functioning only as a neutral background for furniture and decorative objects, the surfaces have gained texture, depth and visual presence, directly influencing the atmosphere of the projects.
Karolinna Venturi - Memória de Estar. Memória de Estar traduz a memória afetiva em linguagem arquitetônica contemporânea. O layout integra estar e cozinha em fluxo contínuo, dissolvendo limites e incentivando a permanência. A mesa central resgata o ritual do encontro como gesto arquitetônico. Madeira, vidro, texturas, iluminação e objetos afetivos criam camadas sensoriais que constroem atmosfera e narrativa. (Bia Nauiack/CASACOR)
At the same time, there is growing interest in materials that add a tactile feel and connection with more artisanal processes. In 2026, the trends point to walls that explore reliefs, irregularities, natural elements and less homogeneous finishes – creating more sensorial and welcoming spaces!
Natural textures, mineral materials and surfaces with a handmade appearance stand out among the wall finishes featured in the coming seasons.
Stone coverings remain on the rise, especially in versions with more organic texture and raw finish. Travertine, limestone, quartzite and stones with an irregular appearance help create sophisticated projects without visual excess.

Beyond its natural aesthetic, stone changes the way light hits the surfaces throughout the day. In living rooms, powder rooms and outdoor areas, the material adds depth and a sense of permanence, bringing interiors closer to references more connected to nature.
Mineral plasters and finishes with a handcrafted effect appear as an alternative to completely smooth and uniform walls. Surfaces inspired by lime, clay and cement create subtle movement and make the projects visually cozier.

Among the wall finishes, this type of texture stands out for creating a more natural and less industrialized appearance. Soft tones, such as sand, light terracotta and warm off-white, help reinforce the feeling of visual comfort.
Slatted panels remain present in contemporary interiors, but now appear in more organic and less rigid proposals. Slats with different thicknesses, natural tones and irregular designs help soften the linear aspect of the material.
Albuquerque + Malvim - Alysson Albuquerque e Rodrigo Malvim - Carbono Café BRB por Solo Brewing. Ancorado no coração do bairro do Recife, o Carbono Café BRB é um convite à pausa e aos encontros. Com uma paleta sóbria e iluminação intimista, o espaço oferece variadas experiências e o desejo de ficar um pouco mais. Toques de azul reforçam o diálogo com o Banco BRB, anfitrião do espaço.

In addition to visually warming the projects, wood also improves acoustic perception and adds texture without the need for many complementary decorative elements. The resource appears mainly in living rooms, bedrooms, and entrance halls.
Surfaces covered with straw, sisal and plant fibers have gained ground in projects that value natural materials and artisanal processes. The delicate texture helps create lighter and more welcoming projects without excess visual information.

These wall finishes appear both in contemporary proposals and in interiors that mix Brazilian, Mediterranean, and tropical references. Beyond aesthetics, the materials reinforce a sense of tactile comfort valued in current projects.
The tiles are no longer used only functionally in kitchens and bathrooms. In 2026, pieces with volume, artisanal finishing and three-dimensional designs appear as protagonists in different projects of the house.
Luiza Nogueira - Loft Santorini. Assinado por Luiza Nogueira, o Loft Santorini reflete a leveza do mar em linhas simples e materiais naturais. Madeira, palha e o porcelanato azul evocam um cenário sensorial, onde a memória afetiva encontra aconchego e poesia. Assim como na canção de Djavan, “O amor é azulzinho”. (Walter Dias/CASACOR)
The relief creates interesting plays of shadow and transforms the perception of the wall as the lighting changes throughout the day. In powder rooms and wet areas, the finishes help add personality without necessarily depending on intense colors.
With projects increasingly focused on the sensory experience, walls have come to play a structural role in decoration. Textures, reliefs, and natural materials help create more welcoming and sophisticated atmospheres even in minimalist spaces or with few pieces of furniture.

Wall finishes also reflect a growing search for less standardized interiors that are more connected to materiality. Instead of completely uniform surfaces, elements that reveal imperfections, handmade marks, and natural variations capable of making the projects more human and visually interesting gain ground.
