Within the now well-established lexicon of interior design, modern style continues to exemplify the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics.
But what is modern style and how can we define it? Emerging in the early 20th century, this style embraces – and exalts – clean lines, neutral colours, and natural materials. With roots in the Bauhaus tradition and Scandinavian modernism, it’s guided by the philosophy that “form follows function”. This approach encourages a preference for open spaces filled with natural light, where each element is chosen for its utility as well as its aesthetic value.
Creating modern-style spaces means letting go of unnecessary decoration and focusing on simple and minimalist design.
Among the options for modern interior flooring, the choice of porcelain stoneware really stands out, a solution that embodies the perfect synthesis of exceptional design and technological innovation.
The unparalleled quality of modern stoneware tiles makes it possible to create extremely durable and versatile surfaces that reliably meet all design needs.
When selecting the ideal porcelain stoneware flooring, it’s important to carefully consider the typical palette of light-coloured modern floors. Shades like white, light grey, and beige create a sophisticated base for modern-style porcelain stoneware floors, while dark accents can add depth and contrast.
Glossy finishes add an extra touch of elegance to modern interior tiles, reflecting light and visually expanding a space, especially in open floor plans.
Like flooring, porcelain stoneware is one of the most versatile materials on the market when it comes to finding ideas for wall coverings as well. Specifically, and exclusively, for Cotto d’Este’s surfaces this aspect is highlighted by the availability of Kerlite ultra-thin ceramic slabs. These are thin, versatile, and incredibly durable thanks to their exclusive fibreglass reinforcement.
Kerlite is a universal architectural surface which, thanks to its large dimensions, makes it possible to achieve extraordinary aesthetic results in both indoor and outdoor architectural projects. Its use in exterior applications, for example ventilated facades and insulated cladding, is equally noteworthy. This outstanding product is the result of an innovative and highly sustainable manufacturing process, made possible by the expertise of Cotto d’Este, a pioneer in the sector of ultra-thin surfaces.
When choosing modern tiles for wall coverings, the goal is to achieve perfect harmony between the style of the furnishings, the arrangement of the lighting, and the overall décor.
In seeking this balance, the furniture and wall coverings of the living room are the main elements. Depending on the design choices, either one or the other takes centre stage at any given time, thereby defining the overall atmosphere of the room. This, in a modern-style home environment, is characterised by the presence of light colours, angular shapes, and sturdy materials like glass and steel.
When designing a modern-style kitchen or bathroom, it’s even more important to select a material that guarantees the utmost technical reliability as well as outstanding visual appeal.
For this reason, Cotto d’Este’s porcelain stoneware proves once again to be the best solution from every perspective. Its wide range of modern kitchen tiles and modern bathroom tiles makes it possible to customise any environment according to specific aesthetic demands.
When we add to this the inestimable value of the safety which PROTECT® surfaces guarantee, the result is even superior. This exclusive line of flooring and cladding with a built-in silver ion antibacterial shield, ensures easy-to-clean surfaces that are protected 24/7.
When it comes to choosing décor, modern style requires a careful selection of furniture and accessories that seamlessly combine aesthetics and functionality. Guidelines suggest a preference for simple shapes, geometric patterns, and elements inspired by natural materials like stone and wood.
For a contemporary look, it’s best to choose glossy wall coverings and flooring which exalt brightness and convey a sense of cleanliness and order.
Current trends see the kitchen as the heart of the home, a space where functionality, hygiene, and aesthetic appeal come together. Porcelain stoneware meets all of these needs, not just for modern-style kitchen flooring, but also for all coordinated surfaces.
Modern-style kitchen worktops, backsplashes, sinks, and décor: every surface can serve as a blank canvas for creating sophisticated and technically high-performance spaces.
Furthermore, the integration of advanced technologies, such as adjustable lighting systems and smart taps, can further enhance one’s living experience, transforming daily tasks into simple pleasures.
In the landscape of design trends, a modern bathroom is a space dedicated to rejuvenation and wellness.
Modern-style bathrooms with ceramic tiles can become true oases of well-being and performance, featuring design choices that embrace both style and technological efficiency.
In fact, a variety of formats for modern-style bathroom tiles meet the daily challenges of humidity and wear. Furthermore, fewer grout lines ensure maximum strength, durability, and ease of cleaning.
At the same time, a wide variety of design applications for the bathroom exist. These include modern-style shower cladding and cladding for furniture and sinks, making it possible to establish a coordinated and harmonious look.
Overall, Cotto d’Este’s high quality ceramic flooring and cladding represent the ultimate choice for those looking to create an elegant modern-style home. These design solutions flawlessly combine beauty, innovation, and functionality.
For those wondering what flooring to choose for a modern-style home, the answer is clear: Cotto d'Este, where every surface and floor reflects timeless elegance.
