Interior Design: elements to consider for design purposes
When it comes to interior design, the most obvious elements that come to mind are: furnishings, lighting and decorations. Yet, the essence of a design project does not only reside in the objects that populate it, but also, and most importantly, in the ability to create harmonious spaces where aesthetics and functionality blend in perfect balance. Every detail, from the texture of the surfaces to colour combinations, contributes to defining the atmosphere of an environment, influencing the way in which it is perceived and experienced.
Interior design is not a matter of personal taste (or, at least, not only), but an art that requires technical skills and a deep knowledge and understanding of materials. Elements such as floors, walls and coverings, often underestimated, are capable of radically transforming the appearance of a room. It is not simply about choosing a floor that looks good, but of considering how each element interacts with the surrounding space, light and daily use. Likewise, walls create the background of an interior environment, a visual outline that embraces and defines the space.
In recent years, interior design has often embraced a trend towards continuous surfaces, without joints or visual interruptions. These solutions are capable of visually enlarging the space and of creating a sense of fluidity. Seamless surfaces rich in texture are becoming increasingly sought after by those who want a welcoming, custom-made environment with great aesthetic impact. Knowing how to choose the right material, therefore, is essential to obtain interior spaces that do not only look good, but are also pleasant to live in every day.
Whether in a domestic, commercial or professional environment, attention to detail is what distinguishes a successful project, as it comes as the result of research and the expertise of professionals, architects, designers and experienced operators in the sector. Floors and walls become key elements, capable of defining the identity of a space and the way in which it is perceived by those who live there or visit it. In this context, the choice of surfaces becomes crucial: seamless floors, tactile surfaces, unique coverings for kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms can really make the difference.
Interior floorings: the basis for a design project
The floor is one of the most important elements of any interior design project, as it affects the aesthetics and functionality of a space. Ideal Work offers various versatile solutions for interior floors, able to adapt to any style and need.

Walls: another key element
Those who believe that walls are simple separation elements clearly underestimate the potential underlying these elements. If properly designed, walls can become the aesthetic fulcrum of an environment. Ideal Work’s solutions transform walls into surfaces rich in character and texture.

This finish allows you to obtain the look of raw concrete without having to resort to invasive solutions. Ideal for minimalist and contemporary environments, Concrete Optik gives walls an urban and sophisticated look, transforming any room into a space with great visual impact.
Customising with colours
Colour choice is one of the most important aspects in interior design: it defines the atmosphere of a space, influencing perception and well-being. Colours can visually expand or narrow an environment, evoke specific emotions such as calm or energy, and create coherence between the various furnishing elements, contributing to a harmonious and functional design.
Ideal Work offers a wide range of shades to customise floors and walls.
