Titulado en Filología Alemana y Máster de Periodismo EL PAÍS, llevo dos décadas escribiendo sobre diseño, arquitectura e interiorismo.

En Idealista News continúo haciendo lo que más me gusta: escribir sobre arquitectura e interiorismo. En mis ratos libres monto en bici. Mi última aventura: pedalear sin prisas de Londres a Cambridge.

Four small home renovations with a big impact that you'll never regret

Which renovations can most transform a home and boost its resale value? Architects and interior designers often highlight four key updates, including new flooring, removing partition walls or replacing a bathtub with a shower. We’ll also outline the approximate costs and, crucially, the results you can expect – not just in terms of functionality and style, but also if you plan to sell your home in the future.

Colour drenching: the interior design trend everyone’s talking about

Monochromatic interiors will define 2026, building on a trend that’s been growing for months. The key driver? A desire to reclaim privacy at home. While open-plan living remains popular, people now seek wellbeing through creating more secluded, personal spaces. The drenching technique, covering a room in a single colour, is ideal for relaxing spots where you can read, listen to music or unwind. A study or guest room is perfect for embracing this calming, immersive style.
