Interior design trends focus on practical home renovations

Interior design trends in Brazil are shifting toward practical, low-impact renovation methods that prioritize aesthetics and comfort without the need for major structural changes. For walls, alternatives to traditional wood panels include textured plaster, 3D panels, geometric moldings, removable wallpaper, and ultra-thin stone veneers.

Ceiling design is also gaining prominence. Architect Eduardo Baldelomar notes that wood ceilings can transform an atmosphere, particularly in spaces with high ceilings or those dominated by cold materials like concrete and glass. For those seeking low maintenance, vinyl or PVC coverings that mimic wood are recommended alternatives.

In bathrooms, renovation can be achieved through epoxy paint for non-tiled walls or vinyl adhesives applied directly over old tiles to provide a cost-effective and immediate visual update.
