kitchen with a light color. For the counter and shelves, I opted for the large-format stone-effect porcelain slabs.
What choices did you make for the bedroom?
I incorporated Crogiolo Terramater Cotto tiles into the headboard, and then extended them to the shelf, desk, and floor. On the wall opposite the bed, there’ s a bench made with the same material, which harmoniously runs through the architecture of the room. Among all the rooms in the house, this is where I used the most textured tiles, because it’ s a sacred, intimate, calm space.
And the bathroom?
There’ s a compact bathtub, covered in tiles, that connects smoothly to the shower. For the color, the obvious choice would have been blue. But these green rectangular tiles – part of the Crogiolo Lume collection – struck me instantly with their beauty, their extraordinary tones and shades. Looking at the landscape outside, I thought that the green, bouncing off the tiles and water, would create a truly stunning environment. The glossy finish I chose for the tiles aims to highlight light play and reflections, while also conveying a sense of hygiene and cleanliness.
