CASACOR Bahia 2025: 10 ideas that will make you want to renew your decor

Recently opened to the public, the CASACOR Bahia 2025 debuted with projects filled with colors, textures, and creative decorations. Throughout the exhibition, the details do not go unnoticed and inspire new renovations or small changes in decoration. Therefore, we have prepared a selection of charming ideas for you to keep as a reference for the next transformation of your house or apartment.

1. Sticker over tiles

The project created by architect Marlon Gama translates the meeting of history, nature, and technology and showcases inspirations from the organic forms of water and the heritage of the Portuguese colonial houses in Bahia. One of the main elements that refer to this cultural characteristic is the famous Portuguese tiles, whose patterns were printed on an adhesive film, applied to square white tiles. According to Marlon, the idea was to present a simple and accessible concept in a sophisticated way.

2. Wallpaper at the top

A creative atmosphere fills the project created by architect Wesley Lemos at CASACOR Bahia. The professional presents an expressive set of works that articulate contemporary art, folk art, and symbolic expressions of Afro-Brazilian religiosity. The curation reflects an ethical and aesthetic stance aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, promoting inclusion, diversity, sustainability, and symbolic justice. The colors compose the perfect setting for this proposal, complemented by the unusual use of wallpaper, installed at the top, combined with a similarly colorful ceiling.

3. Combine patterns!

The architect João Gabriel brought a retrofuturistic aesthetic and mid-century design elements to his project at CASACOR Bahia 2025. The space functions as a creative studio that celebrates memory, resistance, and black permanence in architecture. Colors like green, mustard, and brown, along with preserved elements of the original property, connect the past and the present. Highlighting the wall painted with green stripes combined with the floor of decorative hydraulic tiles.

4. Bet on stripes!

The project signed by Mázia Arquitetura e Interiores proposes a sensory experience for visitors. It was designed as an intimate sanctuary, where pause, reflection, listening, and transformation are cultivated. The cozy atmosphere emerges from the earthy color palette, highlighted by the white stripes, which provide contrast next to the bathroom doors.

5. Wine cellar in the wall

The architect Ian Carvalho created a narrative where poetry and affection promote a dive into the emotional origins of dreams. Among several creative ideas in his project, the standout is the bar cabinet, with seed-shaped doors, which holds golden objects symbolizing the vital energy of dreams.

6. Utilize the window

Another highlight of the project signed by Ian Carvalho is the corner near the window. There, the professional positioned the Sergio Rodrigues armchair, with stools serving as side tables, and a charming composition of vases and other objects.

7. Spa in the bathroom

In earthy tones, the palette chosen by Nath Veloso offers coziness and sophistication, while establishing a balance between body, earth, and time. Natural elements complete the setting, bringing delicacy. In the bathing area, the bathtub is located close to the vegetation, ensuring total relaxation and reconnection with nature.

8. Female art

The loft created by architect Gabriel Magalhães was designed as the home of a contemporary, creative woman, and protagonist of her own story. The project preserved the original floor, ceiling, and walls, now chipped, that serve as a backdrop for an interesting art collection. Curated by Gabriela Daltro, this collection is a selection of contemporary female artistic production. The selection of artworks — which blends personal collections, vintage pieces, and authorship works by artists like Aline Brune, Cristina De Middel, Claudia Andujar, and Maureen Bisilliat — is in tune with the concept of the project.

9. Cutouts in the walls

The biomimicry and the concept of ancestral futurism inspired the duo Daniela Agulha and Luiza Gaspar in creating this living space, where the use of organic shapes, textures, and solutions that respect the cycles of life stand out. Arches created in the masonry between the projects and one of the walls bring lightness and reinforce the fluidity proposed by the professionals.

10. Tiles as protagonists

Neto Cunha designed a space at CASACOR Bahia that combines a coffee shop and art gallery. The professional preserved original elements, such as frames and floors, respecting the memory of the construction while renewing its purpose. In addition to the powerful art curation, the project also draws attention due to the contrasts in black and white, especially in the tiles of the counter, which are part of the "bem-me-quer" collection, created by Monica Camargo for Studio Vetro.
