It is always difficult to find a house that belongs to us, that reflects our qualities, our taste and our desires. When finally you find it, immediately after the first enthusiasm, you dive into an endless series of questions like "how to furnish it?", "Which colors to choose?" And "how to give a house a personal touch in order to turn it into a home with personality? ".

Personally, I have never loved those flats full of design objects that can be recognized at a glance. I have always loved, however, those particular houses, which bear the imprint and style of those who live there; those apartments that often contain vintage, contemporary and ethnic objects. The houses that tell a story.

This is how I have always approached the furnishing of the houses where I lived. In my house I brought myself, my memories, my travels, the colors and the fabrics that I bought while traveling around the world and that, in one way or another, gave my home a strong and elegant personality: a personality that reflects mine.

In addition to the objects collected during countless trips around the world, I have always loved fabrics. Silk, that has always been a great source of inspiration, is the protagonist. it gives immediate elegance to every corner, but also it‘s good for every season.

To give a stately and romantic touch to your room, you could embellish the bed with two pure mulberry silk pillowcase.

You can also play with colors using, for example, a white duvet cover and two rose pure silk pillowcase that, of course, should be combined with the color of the walls. (373)

My Milanese apartment, dating back to the beginning of the last century, is characterized by very high ceilings and decorated with stuccos representing flowers and fruits. In such an environment, very bright and spacious, I chose a dark gray for the walls, a very fashionable and elegant color that can be even more refined by dressing the bed with a set of pink or white mulberry silk sheets queen or, why not, two colors set.

Another color that sounds perfect with gray is teal green (Pantone eggshell blue). It is very relaxing and ideal for resting after a busy day in the office or traveling. 

In the end I can say that silk, together with colors and light are the best features that can make our flat looking elegant and luxury! So, enjoy!
