There are some fixed stops for those who have to furnish Lake Maggiore apartments. One of these is undoubtedly Cersaie event, one of the most important event in the world in the field of ceramics and bathroom furnishings, which took place in Bologna from 27th September to 1st October 2021.
The latest edition, which was finally held in attendance, collected the proposals of about 600 exhibitors from 26 countries. A unique opportunity to see the latest trends in the sector and bring your favorites back to your home overlooking the shores of the most beautiful lake in Italy.
An undisputed protagonist in bathroom furnishings in recent years is certainly porcelain stoneware. Thanks to the development of new technologies, this versatile and resistant material lends itself to the most eclectic transformations.
At Cersaie 2021 there were several proposals for stoneware with a marble effect. Digital printing today allows you to play with patterns and shades of color. Granite-effect stoneware is also not left behind, with its typical fine grain and a very wide color palette. Known for its resistance and ease of cleaning, this material finds its rightful place in all types of Lake Maggiore apartments, from the smallest and simplest to the most luxurious.
Large porcelain stoneware slabs have been in use for some time, especially in public spaces and structures. But more and more the advantages of this format are becoming evident also for residential apartments and villas.
Here is an example of a house with a garden on Lago Maggiore where the stoneware floor could make a significant contribution, in the stone-effect or terracotta-effect versions.
Pros of large formats are: ease of cleaning, fewer joints, a different and increased perception of space. Unlike more fragile materials such as marble, stoneware, even in large tiles, maintains a particular resistance and lightness, which therefore also facilitates installation.
The new trend of large formats is also accompanied by another trend that from Cersaie 2021 and which can be carried over into the Lake Maggiore apartments with a contemporary look.
The total look bathroom has identical patterns and shades - for example the marble effect - on all the surfaces of the room: floors, walls, even the washbasins. This particular piece of furniture guarantees an immediate feeling of spaciousness, but also of character and luxury. Just think of a total look bathroom with black and white marble effect stoneware to immerse your mind in an environment of sure impact.
And for those looking for trends to replicate in their villa Lago Maggiore, here are some interesting ideas.
The pandemic has undoubtedly changed our relationship with the home. The fact of having to spend so much time at home has given rise to new needs for comfort, customization, but above all it has made us appreciate even more what for a long time we have not been able to enjoy live: nature.
This is why floral and vegetable motifs abound among Cersaie proposals, thanks also to a new trend that is preparing to enter our prestigious properties on Lago Maggiore: wallpaper. Emancipated from a legacy that only sees it in old and dusty houses, wallpaper returns to give color, movement and style to today's homes as well.

Floral motifs are also at the center of another trend that is making a comeback after years: the so-called Venetian marble, also known as grit. Also in this case, technological innovation allows the creation of the most diverse decorations and melanges, suitable for even the most whimsical needs and tastes.
Speaking of colors, there is also a renewed interest in liveliness and nature. This can be seen from the increasingly widespread use of bright shades. Alongside the traditional white, gray and black, which in any case remain the most used, there are various proposals of green and blue, as well as more eclectic deviations.
This trend is seen above all in the stained-out decorated tiles, that is, by positioning the tiles in such a way as to represent symmetrical and shaded designs. A sure hypnotic effect for stylish furniture.
If stoneware planks are not really welcome in your Lake Maggiore apartments, you can also opt for some trends regarding small tiles.
The latest trends concern above all the possibility of creating three-dimensional effects (also here often in the presence of floral motifs, such as embossed leaves or drops), as well as a “handmade” effect made by super glossy enamels, irregular surfaces and edges.
If you have already purchased a Lake Maggiore facing house, which needs renovations, with these little tips and trends stolen from Cersaie 2021 you will know how to make your new home perfect. If, on the contrary, you have not yet found the property of your dreams, then it is really worth contacting us.
