Bathroom and interior renovation trends in Brazil

Overview

In Brazil, low-cost renovation methods for bathroom interiors are gaining popularity as alternatives to expensive construction. These include the use of epoxy paint on non-tiled walls due to its moisture resistance, durability, and ease of DIY application. Additionally, vinyl adhesive is being used to change the visual appearance of existing tiles, allowing for customization through various patterns and colors without the need for a full renovation.

Interior design trends are shifting toward practical, low-impact methods that prioritize aesthetics and comfort without major structural changes. Beyond bathrooms, wall decoration is expanding to include textured plaster, 3D panels, geometric moldings, removable wallpaper, and ultra-thin stone veneers as alternatives to traditional wood panels.

Ceiling design is also gaining prominence. Architect Eduardo Baldelomar notes that wood ceilings can transform an atmosphere, especially 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.
