Curullar: interior design made verb <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are houses you decorate and houses you cure. If you are intrigued by this word (and all it can do for you), here is a story of roots, craft and collaboration. A practical manifesto so that you too can please visit<\/strong> your space with soul without falling into empty fashions.<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Curullar:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marta, interior designer and founder of the studio Curullar<\/strong><\/a>has coined this verb to describe what happens when a space ceases to be neutral and becomes a place with a life of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curullar is not simply decorate<\/a>. It is to fill a space with memories, complicity and shared life; to design from collaboration and to rescue the beauty of the everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A verb with roots<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n
\"Curullar:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The story begins in Marta's childhood, when she helped her parents build their own house: pulling cables, painting walls, sawing parquet... Those domestic tasks became an early school of interior design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Spaces are not neutral: they are built with affection, effort and memory.<\/strong>\"he says. And from that conviction was born the verb please visit<\/em>a term that today gives its name to its study and its philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\"I'm a curullo, you curullas, and between all of us we curullo your space to turn it into a place designed to be lived in\".<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Curullar Method: designing with you<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

At Curullar, decorating is not a unilateral gesture. Marta works in a network with architects, interior designers, craftswomen, graphic designers and photographers. But the most important collaboration is with you: the client becomes co-author of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I love helping to unravel ideas and turn them into real solutions,<\/strong> he explains. This way of working turns every assignment into a passion project<\/em>. It doesn't matter if it's a small flat or a gastronomic establishment: they are all experienced with the same intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Curullar:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Visit his latest works<\/a> are P\u00e9cora, Forno Bomba, H\u00edbrid, Old Coffees House, La Camila or Slowmov<\/strong>. Spaces that are already part of Barcelona's urban life and that reflect the Curullar spirit: closeness, authenticity and details that tell stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curating begins with the gaze. Marta observes facades, forgotten textures, unexpected colours. She photographs anonymous corners that later inspire entire atmospheres. When she is immersed in a project, even her clothes reflect the colour palette she is working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process is also fuelled by infinite scrolling on Instagram and Pinterest, because inspiration does not distinguish between street and screen. And, as a backdrop, the music suggested by Spotify, which accompanies the mood of each phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identity and narrative<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Curullar does not impose a style, he builds a story. In Marta's story, her reddish favourites coexist, readings such as Brave New World<\/em> by Aldous Huxley, the sensuality of Call Me by Your Name<\/em> and the aesthetics of Paolo Sorrentino; references that filter through without dictating. Because to decorate is to narrate<\/strong>Every object, every colour, every atmosphere tells a chapter of your story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The home as a laboratory <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

His house confirms what he preaches: colourful, lively, full of pieces with a past. From this passion was born G\u00e8neru<\/a><\/strong>a side project to rescue and share objects with history. There shine his fetishes, the Toucan Lamp, icons of the pop<\/em> of the 1970s that have made a strong comeback on the radar. vintage<\/em>Why do they matter? Because they remind us that the fun design also curulla<\/strong>The mood is lifted and the space is de-dramatised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, yes, there is Cendra - his cat - occupying sofas and lighting up corners. Because a home is also measured in company<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Curullar:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Everyday and shared<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Curating doesn't just happen in art or design: it also happens in everyday life. A perfect plan at home always includes friends, family and popcorn. His signature dish is the lightly curdled potato and onion omelette, which has become a ritual among his friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I could choose one thing right now, it would not be a decorative object, but a place: a terrace with a sea view and a mountain view. A statement of intent: curating is also about opening the interior to the landscapes that inspire us.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Places that heal<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

In Barcelona, Marta stays with Gr\u00e0cia<\/strong>their host neighbourhood, and with the Barceloneta at dawn<\/strong>when there are still more fish than people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abroad, quote Brooklyn, Kyoto, Berlin, Oaxaca and Choc\u00f3<\/strong>: diverse places, full of character and culture. All of them inspire her way of understanding decoration as a crossroads of identities and memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To curl is to dwell with a soul<\/h5>\n\n\n
\n
\"Curullar:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In a sector sometimes dominated by fleeting trends, Curullar proposes another logic: to make decoration a shared, honest and meaningful process.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not just another style in the decorative catalogue. It is a vital attitude<\/strong>. Decorating is not about filling walls and shelves, it's about creating spaces that welcome you, represent you and make you live better.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marta has turned an invented verb into a decorating philosophy that goes beyond aesthetics: it is a reminder that what is important is not what you have, but how you live in it.<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
