Not to forget, desk spaces serve importance to this kind of set-up, after all, work takes a huge chunk of our time. FM Architettura d’Interni suggests for a window nook to be converted into a workspace, for inspired productivity overlooking the city. 

Decorating a house for the entire family can sometimes be tricky considering all the different personalities of family members in the mix. But differences may just come handy in designing your home for 2019.

For this year, we're shying away from the white-washed spaces and diving into a livelier, bolder design. 

Mix and match your styles through colours, patterns, and shapes. Colours such as burnt yellow, tonal red, dark greens, and teals may sound a tad overwhelming to the eyes but if paired correctly, it can certainly bring life to any room.

Velvet upholstery is also making waves this year—including other textured fabrics—creating drama and luxury to any space. Meanwhile, the much muted, light-coloured floors are also in trend to match the overall eclectic vibe.

All trends come and go, but one thing we should never say goodbye from are dining tables. More than a place to eat, it serves as a venue for most interaction taking place inside the house. In choosing the perfect dining set, you can opt for an organic-shaped furniture that is so in this year.

Meanwhile, bold-coloured kitchen appliances are also taking spotlight in most designs, together with dark countertops and matte-black plumbing.

Bringing oneself closer to nature, bright, lush, and airy biophilic designs are perfect for a townhouse staycation.

Biophilic designs evoke peacefulness and calmness, touching the human's innate connection with nature. One way to achieve this design is by incorparating plants in your home. Aside from this, good natural lighting is also a key element to this specific design. An open-plan floor design with high ceilings allows for most natural light to enter, including natural air ventilation.

Natural materials such as stones, copper, concrete, granite, and wood can also be utilized in various designs. Think of matching a wooden table with a copper lighting fixture or concrete walls paired with exposed coal-like hue plumbing. Sustainable materials are also gaining more demand in the market, advocating for a much more eco-friendly home.

But biophilic designs aren't only limited to plants or earthy minerals, natural shapes and elements such as Fibonnaci sequence can also be integrated in the overall design through graphic tiles and walls.
