Prints have always been present in decoration — sometimes discreet, sometimes exuberant, but always expressive. In 2025, the projects of CASACOR SP 2025 show that there are no limits to where they can go. More than just an aesthetic resource, the strategic use of graphic, floral, or geometric patterns helps build visual and sensory narratives for each space. If before prints seemed confined to fabrics and specific objects, now they spread freely across various surfaces, challenging the neutrality of solid tones and proving that mixing references is a great ally of contemporary projects. **From walls to ceilings!** At CASACOR SP 2025, wallpapers cover vertical surfaces and, in some cases, even the ceiling — a choice that completely transforms the perception of the space. There are monochromatic compositions with subtle patterns that create depth, like Rodolfo Consoli's project, but also spaces that bet on strong contrasts, such as André Bastos and Pedro Luiz de Marqui's maximalist floral. Applying prints to the ceiling may seem risky, but in CASACOR SP projects, this decision proved to be correct: the gaze is automatically drawn upwards, valuing high ceilings and breaking visual expectations. The result is an immersive and engaging aesthetic. **On sofas and armchairs** Printed fabrics have become the protagonists in upholstery, replacing traditional neutral tones with compositions that bring energy and personality. Instead of betting solely on cushions as a point of color, professionals like Léo Shehtman and Romário Rodrigues dared to apply patterns to large-volume pieces, including sofas, armchairs, and chaises. Stripes, florals, and organic designs are some of the choices that work especially well on these pieces, as they help create focal points in the space and contribute to the feeling of warmth. When the pattern aligns with the rest of the palette or dialogues with other decorative elements, the effect is even more sophisticated. **In curtains** Printed curtains appear in different proposals of the exhibition, proving that they do not have to be supporting elements. Lightweight fabrics with delicate patterns, like the arabesques of Marina Linhares and Daniela Funari, filter the light softly, while denser options create an elegant frame for the external view, such as the geometric one by Ale Mellos. In bedrooms and living rooms, these curtains stand out by contrasting with smooth walls or composing with other graphic elements of the space. The controlled overlapping of prints creates visual texture and reinforces the aesthetic narrative of the project. **Inside cabinets** Even the interiors of cabinets receive prints at CASACOR SP 2025. In kitchen and closet projects designed by Carlos Navero and Melissa Camargo and Rodolfo Consoli, respectively, the surprise touch of finding a patterned background reveals attention to detail and the desire to create enchanting spaces completely. In this context, decorative papers play a fundamental role: they are easy to apply and allow for quick personalization. Using them inside niches or drawers is also a delicate way to include visual patterns in the decor, even for those who prefer a more discreet aesthetic. **Finally, printed cushions** Classic and versatile, printed cushions remain one of the most effective resources to quickly renew the decor. At CASACOR SP, they appear in different projects, combined in various sizes, shapes, and patterns. The highlight goes to the living rooms of Marina Linhares and Paola Ribeiro. One of the strategies used by professionals was the use of cushions as a unifying point between disparate elements in the project. A print can contain colors present in other objects and, thus, create visual harmony. Mixing textures, such as velvet and linen, also helps enrich the composition without excess.
