Industrial style in this apartment design
The living room, kitchen and dining room have recently been transformed into multifunctional spaces. These environments, considered the heart of any home, are undergoing an evolution in their design, driven by new trends and the need to adapt to changing lifestyles.
Investment in design and functionality in these spaces often translates into a financial return, making the home more attractive to potential buyers and, therefore, more competitive in the market. Hence, it has become an increasingly considered factor by appraisers and real estate agents when evaluating the sale price of a property.
Open concepts have regained prominence. These unify the living room, dining room and kitchen in a single space, although it is also possible to achieve good results in separate environments.
Karina Isaías, plastic artist and interior decorator, told Infobae that “when we talk about integrated spaces, we talk about innovation, for many years it has been sought that all common environments have a dialogue, today the trend is monochromatic, choosing colors and shapes that maintain the same aesthetic line and coherence with the rest of the environments, that includes outdoor spaces.”

Ergonomic furniture is recommended to gain comfort and quality of life.
And if the living room is separated from the kitchen and dining room, experts maintain that the ideal is to generate a disruptive situation; the kitchen, for example, can take absolute prominence from the rest of the house, taking into account that it is currently a space that It is often shared as a work or study place.
And when choosing furniture, in terms of chairs, tables, armchairs and other seating accessories, specialists recommend that you prioritize comfort above all.
The distribution of furniture and doing it correctly is key in the environments that are intervened.
“Today the market offers countless models designed to fit various styles, but the elements I suggest, like the shoes, are comfort when used. Natural textures, light colors and manufacturing quality are keys to take into account when making a choice,” said Isaías.
Elberg added that “in relation to the dining room, it is advisable to select a table that fits the available space and is suitable for the number of people and chairs that are comfortable and combine with the general style of the space. The wall decoration will give the final touch. You could add a painting or a mirror, with the aim of enhancing and dressing the wall.”
The minimalist and Nordic style are also used to decorate environments.
“Spaces should reflect those who inhabit them. In remodeling projects that are not from scratch, small reforms are essential to meet the client's expectations,” said Isaías.
Natural light, light colors, wood and functional furniture are essential in these designs. In contrast, the industrial style uses elements such as exposed brick, visible pipes, metal and distressed wood to achieve an urban aesthetic.
“Minimalist style, where less is more, is characterized by clean lines, neutral colors and a sense of simplicity,” Elberg added.
Contemporary country style kitchen.
“If we consider a painting acquired from a prestigious gallery, the cost could be around $200,000. However, there are cheaper options that fit different decorative needs, with prices that can be $50,000 or less. The tusor curtains, for example, have an estimated cost of $150,000. As for the vegetation, which adds vitality to the environment, prices vary between $15,000 and $50,000,” explained Elberg.
The decorative elements that perform well, always generating good experiences, are bamboo, ceramics and lamps. Their prices can range from $5,000 to over $100,000. A designer object is not the same as something purchased at a craft fair.
Elberg added: “I want to emphasize that decorating with good taste and following trends does not necessarily imply a high cost. The budget can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the space, the quality of the materials, and the complexity of the design. In the case of high-end materials, we could be talking about around USD 20,000 for a home, but there are also options on the market that are around USD 5,000 for an entire house.”
Additionally, colors can be used to establish focal points or highlight specific elements, such as a piece of art or furniture.
Artificial lighting should provide warmth.
It is essential to know how to take advantage of natural light to create a relaxed and harmonious environment.
A well-executed interior design can increase the value of a property and attract more inquiries from potential buyers.
The open concept is the protagonist in the present.
Leonardo Ramos Couriel , of Ramos Couriel Real Estate, told Infobae that “a home can lose value if its decoration is too eccentric and does not fit the general taste. Simple, updated apartments, especially in areas like bathrooms and kitchens, tend to be more attractive. There are buyers who value these details, although there is also a segment that prefers to customize the property to their liking.”
Regarding interior design and its impact on the valuation of a property, there is a focus on several aspects, such as the connection with outdoor spaces, artificial lighting and the quality of furniture.
Buyers often express their preferences and observations during viewings, providing valuable insight into what they are looking for in a property.
Natural light also plays a vital role in the home.
Bathrooms and kitchens are usually the main focuses of attention for buyers, since the choice of furniture is usually very personal.
Ramos Couriel noted that “eccentric decorations, whether from art collectors or taxidermists, may attract attention in a publication, but they do not necessarily increase the value of the property. This is because, in most cases, properties are delivered empty and their value is determined based on factors such as location, floor, height and orientation. However, the value may vary if the property has been renovated or needs renovation.”
The cost of adequate lighting currently ranges between $3,000 and $5,000 per square meter.
Facundo Goya, architectural lighting designer who also offers solutions in home and building automation, told Infobae : “When lighting a living room, it is crucial to consider the activities that will be carried out. "They all require different lighting scenes and their respective control."
Once the lighting scenes have been established, it is vital to configure them correctly in agreement with the client, since replicating them in an automated way later can be complicated. “We must not only create these scenes, but also access them easily using a voice command, a touch on the cell phone or a wall switch, or in an automated way depending on the time and day of the week,” Goya concluded.
