Minimalist Christmas decorations: less glitter, more soul

Conscious Christmas: The Definitive Guide to Minimalist and Natural Decorating. Every December, homes are filled with intense lights, bright decorations and saturated colors. Although Christmas is traditionally associated with visual abundance, a growing trend invites you to celebrate it from a calmer, more aesthetically pleasing perspective: minimalist Christmas decorating. This approach prioritizes calm, intention and natural materials. It simplifies without losing beauty and leaves room for light, texture and small details with meaning. What is minimalist Christmas decor? Minimalist decor is based on clean lines, balance and reduction of unnecessary elements. At Christmas it means: - Visual simplicity: few decorations, selected with intention. - Natural materials that bring warmth. - Handcrafted and timeless aesthetics, far from ephemeral. Minimalist is not synonymous with cold: when built with textures, neutral tones and organic materials, it creates a warm elegance that invites to rest. Color palette: the basis of minimalist aesthetics. Neutral tones are the protagonists, because they allow the space to breathe: - Whites, ecru and beige for luminosity. - Soft grays for balance. - Natural greens inspired by the winter forest. - Browns, earth and wood to connect with the organic. - Matte gold or copper as subtle accents.

Frank Gehry: the architect who reinvented form in motion dies

Frank Gehry, one of the most influential architects of the 20th and 21st century, passes away at the age of 96. We review his vision, iconic works and creative legacy.. On December 5, as reported by RTVE, Frank Gehry (1929-2025) passed away at the age of 96. His departure marks the end of one of the most visionary voices of contemporary architecture: a creator who transformed steel, titanium and impossible curves into a poetics of movement. Gehry not only designed buildings: he invented a language of his own. His sculptural, intuitive and deeply emotional approach forever changed the way we understand the relationship between form, space and experience. In this tribute we review his most emblematic works, his creative philosophy and the legacy he leaves to artists, architects and designers around the world. An architectural language that broke all the rules. Dynamic and sculptural volumes. His buildings seem to vibrate or move, as if they were frozen in the midst of a fluid movement. His architecture aspired more to feel than to explain itself. Innovative materials. Corrugated steel, titanium, curved glass and industrial surfaces became expressive tools that defied visual gravity. Emotional design For Gehry, a building had to move. His flexible, gestural forms sought to provoke surprise, evocation, and an almost musical sensory experience. His atypical approach made his work a fusion of architecture, design and contemporary sculpture.
