When New York journalist Kyle Chayka defined the AirSpace aesthetic in 2016, referring to global taste homologation in the field of interiors, he described neutral, white environments with essential design and possibly with the same Ikea furniture. The writer argued about a global style in which everyone, wherever we go, can feel at home.
Trying to overcome this rigid minimalism, Airbnb selects the original design houses of its users offering a unique experience. It enhances residences that show a strong personality without sacrificing comfort and functionality. With the support of experts in the field of interior design, it has defined five trends for 2019: Mix&match, Rustic chic, Pop colours, Green is the new black and Natural materials.
What emerges from the five trends proposed by the San Francisco platform is that materials and colours again enrich domestic environments. Wood, cement, stone and rustic plaster are used to give warmth to the home, also using carpets and natural fabrics.
Another trend according to AirBnb is the skilful combination of styles, images, patterns and colours, to give the interior a unique character. Finally, green is an essential element: green walls or suspended vases, small cacti or lush flowers invade all environments and become real travel companions.
