Tell me what your house is like, and I will tell you who you are.
Tell me what your house is like, and I will tell you who you are. Our homes speak of us, what we are like and how we interact. What we like to do in them and how we spend our time is reflected not only in what our rooms, bathrooms or kitchens are like but in the materials we use to create them.
Any construction or refurbishment project must answer this question: what are the people living in that house like? The more a house speaks of you, your personality and your lifestyle, the closer you are to creating a consistent home where your idiosyncrasies are reflected in addition to beauty.
When these concepts are clear, you just have to find the right elements. In Mallorca, since 1921, we have DURAN: a specialist in building materials, who before proposing which is the best among the countless options, will first seek to know your needs and make your home a functional and stylish place.
And if we talk about functionality, the kitchen takes the cake. Kitchens are no longer those hidden places at the end of the corridor and take full prominence, becoming that place where you want to be and spend most of your time. DURAN kitchens are a perfect blend of design and functionality, between technology and wellness. Modern kitchens are not just a place to cook; you live in them. The kitchen is the heart and soul of the house; it hosts conversations and surely some other secrets!
Eating healthy is no longer a fad; it is a way of life in which fresh food gains positions against processed food, which results in larger fridges and smaller freezers. As José Manuel Martínez – head of the kitchen department at DURAN – explains, “current appliances reflect a healthier and more efficient way of cooking, eliminating the thousands of gadgets that invaded our countertop, giving way to simpler and more efficient elements such as vacuum packers, which allow delicious marinades, low temperature cooking ovens , or surface extraction plates, which are perfectly hidden and seek a novel design”.
But if kitchens are the heart of our homes, bathrooms don’t want to lag behind and, for some years now, design has boomed to make them those places that make the difference between the conventional and the avant-garde. Visiting one of the three great showrooms that DURAN has in Mallorca, you realise that the minimalism of straight and aseptic shapes gives way to softer lines, with natural stone countertops and matt black, nickel, brass or copper faucets. And why not, colours! Sand, dirt, even black are replacing the surgical white of the toilets, giving a less cold touch.
Bathrooms reflect, again, a change of archetype, showers above bathtubs, or exempt bathtubs. Large showers, technologically adapted, able to change our mood, either with a specific colour or with the right song. Or smart toilets, with automated seats, night light, antibacterial cleaning system and with save-a-flush, above the bidets.
The bathrooms of our homes are becoming “small spas” prepared to provide us with the coveted well-being after a day of work or simply a moment of disconnection from the countless responsibilities of the day to day.
At DURAN, homes speak of you because they speak with you. And it is in this coming of ideas that the key that opens the perfect project for you and your loved ones appears. Whether it is large 3-metre pieces to grant monumentality to your pavement or the small mosaic format that adds colour and versatility. Anything goes! Hydraulic flooring, porcelain, wood, laminate, as long as it adapts to your lifestyle, customs and style of your home, something that is much clearer once after visiting and chatting with DURAN.
