The role of accent colors in interior space design
In contemporary spaces, accent colors are taking on an increasingly central role, evolving from simple decorative details to true design features. They serve to give direction to the space, create depth, build focal points, and—above all—define a recognizable identity.
In this scenario, Atlas Plan surfaces become an ideal tool because they allow for a continuous, controlled finish, capable of transforming color into architecture.
Zephyr, a surface that illuminates the space with lightness
When you want to accentuate elegance and contemporaneity, it is useful to use a color that stands out in a measured way. Zephyr interprets this need well: a "luminous" accent, suitable for projects that focus on balance and visual lightness.
It is perfect for targeted areas such as backsplashes, niches, vertical screens, or focal walls, where the surface can stand out without saturating the environment. The best effect is achieved when the accent is accompanied by warm, neutral supporting materials, so that the surface becomes a natural point of interest.
Baobab, a deep color that creates atmosphere
One of the most interesting trends in color is the search for deeper, more enveloping tones that not only paint the space but also create atmosphere. Baobab lends itself to this interpretation: a surface capable of adding intensity and character, working on the perception of depth and the dialogue with light.
It is an ideal choice for giving architectural volume to a space, defining a sophisticated environment with its own identity.
Exotic Wave, a surface with a graphic gesture
Today, the accent is not necessarily a uniform color: increasingly, it is movement, variation, rhythm. This is where Exotic Wavecomes into play, perfect for projects seeking a bold and contemporary focal point.
This type of surface is ideal for a scenic wall, a kitchen front, an impressive entrance, or a covering that becomes part of the story: the graphics of Exotic Wave give energy to the space and define its mood.
Properly managing an accent color requires direction. An effective guideline is to work with focal points: choose one or two areas to highlight (wall, backsplash, volume) and keep the rest in supporting shades to avoid a redundant effect.
Lighting is a fundamental aspect: an accent color changes significantly between natural lighting, warm evening light, and technical lighting; for this reason, it is useful to think of it as part of the lighting design.
Large slabs promote visual continuity, but for this very reason, they require careful positioning: when the accent is precisely calibrated, the space appears more harmonious, contemporary, and memorable.
