Organize the space according to your needs
When deciding to design a garden, the primary aspect to take into consideration is to evaluate the functionality you would like to give it: "personal relaxation area away from the noise of chaos and everyday life" or "convivial place to live with the family, perhaps suitable for children?”, “Area dedicated to sport” or “place dedicated to the well-being of body and mind?”. Once you have carefully and carefully evaluated your needs, you can start taking a look around you, carefully studying the context that surrounds you.

Optimize spaces
Once you have chosen the functionality to attribute to your garden, you can choose how to divide the areas, trying to highlight its strengths and camouflage its defects. Therefore, our advice is to pay attention to proportions, units and geometries, thus trying, as a basic rule, to optimize spaces to the fullest, recreating a comfortable environment that respects the right balance between all the components inserted in your garden.

Respect the place
One of the fundamental rules, in order to give life to an impeccable garden, lies in recreating a space in full harmony with the surrounding environment: what sense would it have to insert, for example, plants of an exotic nature, in a countryside or hill landscape? Don't forget, therefore, that plants are a fundamental element in the design of your garden!

Taking care of borders
Another important aspect, contrary to what one might think, is the careful attention paid to the perimeter boundaries, since the boundary limits of the garden, and therefore of your home, are very important in order to guarantee you a serene space equipped with privacy. Our advice is to carefully evaluate the right solution to adopt, of suitable dimensions, to surround your garden, such as hedges or trees of various kinds, for example.

Create a sheltered shaded area
When designing a garden, shaded areas or shelters from possible bad weather certainly cannot be missing: you could think of using the vegetation to recreate them, but don't forget that a robustly protected area, especially in case of rain, could be truly functional and, consequently, a fundamental element, for example by introducing a gazebo, a veranda or an avant-garde tensile structure.

Choose the ideal style, furnishings and atmosphere
The last rule, but not least of importance, is to carefully evaluate the style to be attributed to your garden, even better if there is continuity with the style chosen for the interior furnishings. Consequently, the choice of furnishings to be included is also very important, since they must conform to the external environment, without neglecting the importance of comfort and aesthetics. These elements, combined with a suggestive nocturnal atmosphere, capable of emphasizing the structure and details of our space, will give life to a truly perfect dream garden!

Interior Designer since 1985
CEO & Founder, Italian Design in the World
Italian design has always been synonymous with beauty, precision, and creativity. In recent years, this legacy has evolved into something new: a fusion of tradition and technology, where craftsmanship meets smart materials, sustainable production, and digital innovation.
It’s not about square meters — it’s about smart choices. Modern luxury no longer belongs only to villas or penthouses: it’s about the ability to make refined beauty flourish even in compact spaces through premium materials, tailored design, and carefully orchestrated lighting. This is the essence of micro luxury — a rising trend across Europe, appealing to cultured urban dwellers seeking chic, intelligent solutions for smaller homes.
In an increasingly fast-paced world, home is becoming the only true space to slow down. Slow living — a philosophy that promotes awareness, simplicity, and presence — is reshaping the way we design interiors. Today’s design no longer focuses solely on aesthetics but on sensory well-being: tactile materials, natural hues, soft light, and a balance between empty and full that restores calm and clarity.
Fire has always symbolized warmth, conviviality, and atmosphere. In recent years, fireplaces are no longer just a memory of mountain homes: they’ve returned as key features in urban living, reimagined in modern, sustainable, and stylish forms. Whether bioethanol, electric, or wall-mounted minimal, today’s fireplace is both decorative and functional—transforming any room into a cozy retreat.
September marks new beginnings: back to work, back to school, back to routine. The home quickly becomes the operational hub for balancing busy schedules and moments of relaxation. After summer, spaces often feel cluttered, crowded, or simply not optimized. The solution? Rethink your interiors smartly, using storage, multifunctional furniture, and small tricks to restore order and prepare your home for the more “indoor” months ahead.
As autumn 2025 begins, renovating your home isn’t just about style—it’s also a real opportunity thanks to state incentives and tax deductions currently in place. Whether you want to buy new furniture, improve energy efficiency, or give your interiors a fresh personality, the Home Bonuses are a valuable tool to combine design, functionality, and savings.
