Rafael Bermejo

Titulado en Filología Alemana y Máster de Periodismo EL PAÍS, llevo dos décadas escribiendo sobre diseño, arquitectura e interiorismo. Trabajé como subdirector de la revista Diseño Interior entre 2010 y 2015, año en el que me mudé a Londres para montar y dirigir la revista online de la plataforma Houzz. 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.

Spacious living room with different areas

The new luxury at home isn’t square metres

Luxury in 2027 and 2028 has nothing to do with the square footage of the living room or whether the kitchen and bathroom feature exclusive materials or a spectacular bathtub. Today, luxury is synonymous with well-being. Luxury homes are currently designed as spaces capable of enhancing daily life, where layout and circulation are fundamental. Craftsmanship and original elements are a new symbol of exclusivity.

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

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.
