11 projects from CASACOR taught how to use colors in 2025

The 2025 season of CASACOR demonstrated that mixing different colors in decoration is trending. Many architects and interior designers in the cast stepped out of their comfort zones and dared to combine tones, proposing new palettes and encouraging visitors to consider living in more colorful projects. During the journeys of the exhibitions throughout Brazil and Latin America, each palette evoked a different sensation, which further enriched the experience at the event. Check out the most colorful projects of CASACOR 2025 right below!

Brazilian House

In this house, designed by architect Maurício Arruda, nine tones interact with the pigments from the trees of Água Branca Park, where the exhibition in São Paulo was held. To define them, the architect enlisted the help of researcher Maibe Maroccolo, who mapped the area. “The main objective is to awaken a new perspective on the vegetation and the beauty that surrounds us,” explains Mauricio. The decoration is 100% Brazilian: antique pieces, contemporary design, and folk art celebrate our roots and set the stage for the exchange between tradition and innovation.

Gradient Staircase

The organic paths of the favelas guided the intervention in the internal staircase of CASACOR São Paulo, a dynamic route of ascent divided into three stages – each with its own color palette – representing the beginning (earth tones), the crossing (bordeaux, pinks, and reds), and the arrival (neutrals, blues, and greens). Aligned with the theme, the space designed by architects Nicholas Oher and Paloma Bresolin invites reflection on how dreams are cultivated and transformed into reality, highlighting the typical collective potency of our communities.

Solar Lavatory

In the lavatory designed by Vanessa Chieregato at CASACOR Ribeirão Preto, the diversity of materials, textures, and colors representing the plurality of the Brazilian people stands out. The project connects art, craftsmanship, history, music, and poetry, with the striped pagination functioning as a backdrop for every detail of the decoration. The yellow color paints the walls and ceiling, dialoguing with the coverings.

Ancestral Language

Designed by architect João Gabriel at CASACOR Bahia, this project is a tribute to the legacy of Joaquim Pinto de Oliveira, Tebas—the first black architect in Brazil. With a retro-futuristic aesthetic and mid-century design traits, the space displays colors such as green, mustard, and brown, along with preserved elements from the original property. By preserving materials and honoring Brazilian architecture, the space reaffirms ancestry as an aesthetic, political language, and a manifesto for a collective future.

Peaceful Atmosphere

The architect Jean de Just created an oasis of serenity and reconnection at CASACOR Rio de Janeiro. It is a space that provides a sensory experience, with massage rooms, meditation rooms, gardens, bathing areas, and a fireplace. To create a relaxing atmosphere, the professional opted for soft lighting, light colors, and organic shapes.

Artsy Blue

Created by Neto Cunha, with art curation by Igor Vidor, this project from CASACOR Bahia combines café and art gallery. Dark shades of blue provide an intimate atmosphere and serve as a backdrop for art pieces and preserved original elements, such as window frames and floors.

Soft Colors and Forms

The architect Bianca Rieg signs this living space at CASACOR Santa Catarina | Itapema, where delicacy finds form. In the space, soft pink and light blue tones create a gentle atmosphere, while organic curves lead to a serene rhythm. The wallpaper on the ceiling invites you to look up, like gazing at the sky among cotton plants.

Celebration Space

In this project from CASACOR Peru—signed by Daniela Pasini, Mariano Quiroga, Janice Hundskopf, and Milagros Aguilar—memories take shape in the kitchen. Colorful, the space celebrates life and family interactions, inherited from ancestral rituals around the fire.

Heraldic Roots

For this kitchen at CASACOR Pernambuco, the proposal by architect Cecília Lemos has heraldic roots: it unites the erudite and the popular, the sophisticated and the intuitive. She starts from the principle that everything can become art—the grandfather's letter, travel memories, and even the embroidery saved for years. The walls came to life with the intervention of Bruna Emery.

Explosion of Colors and Patterns

Named Atelier da Colecionadora, this project created by Ana Maria Freire and Camilla Pereira at CASACOR Pernambuco gathers fragments of travels and the peculiar tastes of the resident, which may be extravagant. Although eccentric, it has an elegant and sophisticated soul, translated by the contrast of the playful with the sober.

Love is Light Blue

Designed by Luiza Nogueira, this loft at CASACOR Pernambuco reflects the lightness of the sea in simple lines and natural materials. Wood, straw, and blue porcelain tile—color that permeates the entire space—evoke a sensory scenario where the affective memory finds comfort and poetry.
