Once the structure of a house is finished being built, another chapter in the creative process begins, one which reveals the spirit of a home. This is the process of manipulating volumes and surfaces to give shape to the living experience. This way interior design goes beyond the threshold of a simple decoration and picks up architectural and psychological aspects, in addition to elements such as home furniture and equipment.
Not in vain, it's a sector that is currently on the rise thanks to increasing demand by a public that is getting tired of globalized markets and are seeking unique and creative solutions.
Today more than ever before, the look of the spaces we inhabit is perceived as our personal manifesto; especially in this time of marked individuality, where our homes represent a faithful reflection of our attitude towards the world and others. Through our homes we reveal who we are, how we think, the way love, eat, sleep, what we do with our free time, what our job is, our interests and obsessions, our expectations and aspirations.
It's natural then that, contrary to what occurred in the first half of the XXth century, interior home design has quit adapting to the mandates of one particular style in order to make way for a wide variety of new trends.
This phenomenon, which plants its roots in the deep social changes of the past century, has ocurred simultaneously across all cultural areas and is tied to the emergence of fashion as the leading exponent of contemporary society, which receive enough feedback to the point that it is often difficult to establish its limits.
In this book we see that all of these homes speak about their owners and creators and, in short, paint an accurate portrait of a segment of contemporary society which is concerned about building a context for everyday life.
