Italian style apartment - Appartamento di stile a Roma

ciao a tutti! Il post di oggi ruota sullo stile italiano e su quanto gli italiani siano dei veri maestri nell'arredamento dove il classico, l'arte e l'eleganza si sposano allo stile contemporaneo. Eccovene un esempio. L'appartamento che vi propongo è in affitto su homeaway. Ho sempre pensato che il camino costituisce il perfetto punto centrale intorno al quale concepire lo stile e il carattere di un interno. Questo camino dalla cornice in marmo è semplicemente la quintessenza dell'eleganza di un interno storico e pieno di arte. La luce e le pareti bianche infine sono in meraviglioso contrasto con gli arredi scuri, le cornici dorate e le travi del soffitto. Alla prossima!

Hi there! Today's post is about how Italians manage to be real masters when it comes to mixing timeless, classical and artful accents with a contemporary style. Can you belive that this apartment located in the historical center of Rome can be rented on Home Away? I have always thought that a fireplace like this one are the perfect focal (literrally) point for a living room. This one seems to be the perfect marbled framed fireplace for a soirée with friends. The bright and white walls let the big paintings stand out and add that classical timeless style to the living. I find it really gorgeous! This is what charmful means to me! Enjoy!! 

Italian style interiors - Interni italiani/mediterranei

I received a wonderful gift the other day. It’s a publication (Mediterranean Style) of interiors and exterior design by one of the best known Italian architects. Her name is Fabrizia Frezza, she is based in Rome where she lives and works.  Some time ago I told you I would dedicate a post to her and here I am with some news on her works and creations. The elegant volume is a collection of some of her most important makeovers, buildings’ reconstruction and interior designing that represent a perfect mix of Mediterranean and Italian style.  Natural and neutral colors, raw materials, white, beige, brown hues or bold colors in strong contrast with the white surroundings or the colors of the nature, the spellbindingTyrrhenian sea, big decorative plants, natural materials like stones, tiles, marble floors are the some of the patterns of the recognizable and still unique Frezza Style. What I love most of these interiors is the warmth and elegance they inspire and that special Italian attitude and love towards the blooming and luxuriant nature. What I mostly appreciate of Fabrizia Frezza’s style is her capacity to maintain and stick to the genius loci and at the same time transform her buildings and interiors into something brand new and sophisticated, without transfiguring the original Mediterranean patterns of the Italian architecture. Those who will have the privilege to breathe the style of an interior designed by Frezza will surely feel at home! For more information and a wider photogallery have a look at her website! Enjoy the tour! 

Some Mondrian inspiration! 

Classical elements and paintings worthy of an imperial residence!

It happens in Rome: contemporary furniture store - succede a Roma

There is a wonderful place in Rome where style, elegance and the most edgy novelties in interior design find their natural habitat. I'am talking about Stuarr, a big store in one of the mos characteristic streets of Rome, via Nizza. If you ever happen to be in Rome, don't miss a stop at Stuarr. I love this store and having the fortune to work very close to it, I take advantage of my lunch breaks to have a walk and take a look at the utmost novelties in interior design! Here are some pictures I took a few days ago. Enjoy!!!!
