Only you hotel in madrid designed by Lazaro rosa violan via belle vivir blog
Lazaro Rosa-Violan is probably one of the Interior Designers most posted about in blogs.  His design style is so globally chic that appeals to almost everyone who lays their eyes on one of his Interior projects.  One thing I love about his interiors is how Lazaro is able to mix different styles effortlessly.  One of Rosa-Violan’s constant design elements I’ve seen in his projects is the use of grand scale architectural focal points combined with vintage-looking pieces and ethnic-influenced pieces and accessories.  A bit of rusticality, in forms of chunky unpainted wood, is frequently found in his work as well.  I think it is a very smart way to tone down the allure side in his fantastic projects. For those who didn’t know Lazaro has sells through 1stdibs.  Whether Lazaro is designing residences or commercial spaces he seems to always think big, injecting a magnificent atmosphere to his design spaces.  The Only You Hotel in Madrid is no different.  Here Lozaro designed a wall in the entryway covered in Azulejos tiles that tidies up the rest of the navy blue and white palette found throughout the rest of the Hotel.  Floor to ceiling mirrored walls and eye-catching lighting fixtures are some of the
marvelous details found in the Only You Hotel in Madrid.

I would love to visit the showroom of Lorenzo Castillo in Madrid at least every week for inspirations and decorating ideas. As I used to do when living in New York City, I used to stroll the Antiques Stores in the Upper East Side admiring all the beautiful furniture. Lorenzo’s showroom displays his cultivated eclectic signature in each of the pieces he showcase within an outstanding decor. Lorenzo Castillo is an Interior Designer and a Antiquarian who has transformed a 19th century mansion in Madrid into his home and work space. The mansion used to belong to Count of Torrijos and Lorenzo fell in love with the impressive details of this old mansion and I don’t blame him. I can imagine the beauty of its architecture, something that cannot be well appreciated these days. Castillo knows how to use all different kinds of antiques such as art deco, regency, a little bit of Chinoiserie and vintage pieces together in great harmony.

I get enchanted every time I see designers who are capable of mixing many centuries and styles together. This fantastic antique architecture house serves as a canvas to display this Intelligent Eclecticism.  Small space but full of character.
