Whether in a private residence or a hospitality setting, curtains have the ability to make interiors feel more intimate, dramatic, welcoming, or sophisticated. Far more than a simple furnishing accessory, they are a true design element that enhances the architectural identity of a space. Thanks to the wide range of fabrics, certifications, and decorative patterns available, curtains become a tool for shaping light and creating ever-changing visual and sensory experiences.

Curtains as an architectural element

Beyond controlling light, curtains have the power to transform the perception of a space, altering its proportions, depth, and atmosphere. They can soften the appearance of a wall, emphasize the height of a room, guide the eye along a glazed surface, or subtly define the transition between two areas of a home or hospitality environment.

It is from this vision that CurtainLAB was born, Instabilelab’s curtain system for residential and hospitality environments, designed to create solutions that are perfectly aligned with each project’s identity. More and more, contemporary interiors embrace a coordinated design language, where walls, fabrics, and furnishings interact through harmonious color palettes, textures, and decorative patterns.

Thanks to the possibility of choosing from different track systems, fabrics, and printed designs, every space acquires a unique character. Fabrics can be decorated with patterns from the My Way collection, created to ensure visual continuity with the other Instabilelab interior design elements, or customized with bespoke graphics or designs adapted on request. In this way, the curtain becomes an expressive surface capable of conveying a distinctive and recognizable style.

Curtain systems for residential spaces: lightness, atmosphere and visual continuity

In residential interiors, light plays a fundamental role in everyday well-being. For this reason, a curtain system is chosen not only for its practical performance but also for its ability to create visual continuity and enhance the beauty of materials. For these settings, the clean, contemporary aesthetic of the Cruiser system is the ideal solution: its sliding panel design, defined by regular, minimalist lines, is created to enhance large glazed surfaces and open-plan spaces without weighing them down.

The choice of fabric completes the design, defining the atmosphere of the space. Cervino, light and airy, gracefully filters natural light through its delicate texture, while Cortina, thanks to its denser weave, diffuses a softer, more even light—ideal when greater visual comfort is desired.

Curtain systems for hotels and hospitality: a functional decorative language

In the hospitality sector, curtain selection must meet a variety of requirements. Beyond aesthetics, privacy, practicality and durability become essential factors in ensuring guest comfort and reinforcing the stylistic identity of the space. In these settings, the Move system stands out for its smooth, harmonious movement, bringing a sense of dynamism to interiors while enhancing the softness of the fabric through elegant, continuous waves, helping to create a refined and welcoming atmosphere.

When an interior design project requires greater control over light and privacy, Ponge Blackout is the ideal choice. Its 100% blackout construction ensures complete light blocking, making it particularly suitable for hotel rooms, suites, and wellness areas, where comfort and the quality of the guest experience are essential.

Maximum design freedom remains the guiding principle of the CurtainLAB curtain system: fabrics and track systems can always be selected according to the specific characteristics of the space, with no constraints, allowing for fully bespoke solutions tailored to the unique requirements of each project.

It is precisely from this concept that My Way was born, the Instabilelab collection that transforms patterns, textures and colour palettes into design tools capable of creating a common thread between wallpaper, furnishing fabrics, curtains, rugs and boiserie. This approach expands creative possibilities and makes it possible to design cohesive, elegant and highly distinctive interiors, both for residential projects and for hospitality and contract environments.

The distinctive feature of the collection lies precisely in its flexibility. The starting point of the project can be a wallpaper from any Instabilelab collection, paired with My Way patterns that are then applied to the other furnishing elements. The result is a coordinated system of measured contrasts, colour references, visual echoes and details that brings continuity to the entire space.

Beyond the traditional concept of coordinated interior design

The selection of My Way patterns was created as a complementary collection to the Instabilelab creative universe. The most distinctive elements come together to form a texture, a weave, an ornamental detail or a specific geometric motif into patterns that can be applied across different surfaces, from armchairs to boiserie, including curtain fabrics. Each element retains its own unique identity while contributing to a unified visual narrative that guides the eye throughout the entire space.

In this way, every surface helps shape the identity of the interior without becoming repetitive. The extensive colour palette, enhanced by the two colour variants available for each pattern and the possibility of customising the shades, also makes it possible to achieve the ideal balance with the wallpaper and the dominant colours of the project, creating either tone-on-tone combinations or bolder contrasts, always maintaining a strong compositional harmony.

From walls to furnishings: applications for a bespoke design project

The strength of My Way lies precisely in its ability to extend the decorative concept beyond the wall: the patterns derived from the collection’s graphics can be applied to the upholstered furniture of Collezione Privata Volumeuno and to the CurtainLAB curtain systems, creating a shared visual language across vertical surfaces, fabrics and furnishings.

Within this approach, wallpaper can take centre stage or become a subtle background element. The freedom to combine multiple patterns, materials and substrates offers endless design possibilities while always maintaining a cohesive and sophisticated aesthetic vision.

A versatile design language for residential, contract and hospitality interiors

Thanks to its versatility, My Way naturally adapts to both residential interiors and hospitality projects. In private homes, it makes it possible to create refined, highly personal spaces where every detail contributes to expressing the style of those who live there. In hotels, restaurants and hospitality environments, it offers the opportunity to build a distinctive identity, enhancing every space through a dynamic and creative decorative language.

More than just a collection, the patterns of the My Way collection represent a design approach that connects surfaces, materials and furnishing elements, giving designers the freedom to create exclusive interiors without compromising on a refined compositional balance.

Discover all the Instabilelab graphics, pair My Way patterns and explore every possibility for coordinating wallpapers, fabrics, curtains, rugs and customised wall coverings to bring unique projects to life.

With the exhibition “Street Art. Fino all’ultimo muro”, Villa Farsetti opens its doors to a powerful, direct, and contemporary artistic language: street art. This exhibition was created with the aim of presenting urban art not merely as a rebellious gesture linked to the streets, but as a form of expression capable of redefining spaces, identities, and communities.

In a striking and historically rich setting such as Villa Farsetti, street art enters into dialogue with historic architecture, creating a poetic and unexpected contrast. The urban mark, born to be ephemeral, engages with frescoes, monumental halls, and ancient surfaces, transforming itself into living memory, collective storytelling, and cultural heritage.

The exhibition brings together established artists from the Italian and international scenes, creating a journey where past and present meet. The grandeur of the villa embraces the free energy of urban art, giving rise to an immersive experience in which each artwork becomes a new interpretation of space.

The exhibition was curated by Enrica Feltracco and Massimiliano Sabbion, who shaped the itinerary through a careful selection of the featured artists and works. Their curatorial vision shaped a coherent and harmonious narrative, capable of engaging with the historical identity of Villa Farsetti and its interiors, enriched by furnishings provided by companies that were also thoughtfully chosen by the two curators. A collective project in which art, design, and architecture blend naturally, creating an immersive experience in which every detail is perfectly coordinated.

The exhibition route symbolically transforms the villa into a vast urban wall. The works, including large-scale pieces created specifically for the exhibition, reinterpret the historic interiors as a contemporary landscape, while fully respecting the architectural identity of the spaces.

Alongside the artworks, videos, photographs, and documents guide visitors through a narrative dedicated to the origins and evolution of global street art: from the writing movement of the 1970s to the most recent forms of artistic expression.

In this dialogue between artistic languages, Instabilelab also contributes to shaping the atmosphere of the exhibition spaces through the presence of its upholstered furnishings and rugs. Design elements that do not merely complete the exhibition setup, but actively take part in its visual narrative: surfaces, textures, and volumes become an integral part of the experience, creating spaces for pause, interaction, and contemplation.

Instabilelab furnishings accompany visitors along a journey where art, architecture, and interior design intertwine. The upholstered pieces offer comfort and welcome, while the rugs define and soften the space. Among them, the Andromeda 01 rug stands out, blending seamlessly into a perfect dialogue with Memorie Tattili, the artwork by Alessandra Carloni. This synergy helps transform the villa’s rooms into contemporary, vibrant, and immersive environments. A presence that reflects the brand’s vision, always driven by the intersection of decoration, design, and creative freedom.

At the heart of the main room, the experience becomes even more immersive, transforming into a true visual and sensory island. Here, the Clouwer rug serves as a stage for a refined constellation of floral forms: the compact Club pouf, the geometric balance of the Relaxia pouf, and the elegant Freya armchair, made unique by the nuances of the Verena graphic design. This design ensemble engages in an open dialogue with the narrative dimension of Alessandra Carloni’s artworks, Arizona Dream and Libero Pensiero. The furnishings are no longer mere objects; they become pieces of an artistic mosaic, amplifying the sense of journey and imagination that flows from the canvases into the lived space.

Moving into another room, the visual narrative shifts in rhythm and opens up to even more contemporary and daring inspirations. Here, the Olisia rug provides an elegant foundation for the Alicudi pouf, dressed for the occasion in the intriguing and exotic Tahira 01.a graphic design. This furnishing composition welcomes and amplifies the powerful urban energy of Bimbo Bang, the artwork by Evyrein. The striking visual interplay between the refined ornamental language of Instabilelab design and the edgy character of the artwork creates a corner of remarkable impact, demonstrating the brand’s ability to engage in dialogue with every form of expression.

The exhibition aims to transform Villa Farsetti into a contemporary meeting place where different languages converge: urban art, historical memory, design, and reflection on collective space. It is a project that invites visitors to see the wall not merely as a boundary, but as a narrative surface, a place of passage, and a realm of possibilities.

“Street Art. Fino all’ultimo muro” thus becomes much more than an exhibition: it is a meeting point between seemingly distant worlds, a story about marks, memory, and the transformation of spaces. A journey in which Villa Farsetti becomes a city, the wall becomes a narrative, and Instabilelab’s design accompanies the experience with its ability to give shape, character, and identity to environments.

Founded in Spinea as a creative laboratory dedicated to wallpaper and established in Santa Maria di Sala in 2016, Instabilelab has built a recognizable and constantly evolving identity over time, redefining the concept of interior decoration through collections capable of blending languages, materials and surfaces, transforming every project into a unique visual story. A journey marked by significant milestones, from participation in leading international trade fairs and events hosted at its headquarters to collaborations with prominent brands in the industry and, in 2023, the opening of the The Club showroom, an immersive and experiential space dedicated to designers, clients and partners to fully experience the Instabilelab world.

Today, Instabilelab is a constantly evolving design universe where the fusion of graphic art, interior design and decoration gives life to wallpapers, fabrics, rugs and coordinated furnishings that create highly personalized atmospheres. A journey that continues to look ahead while remaining true to its nature, moving through iconic collections, material experimentation and bespoke projects that go beyond the traditional boundaries of interior design.

Instabilelab’s identity: a philosophy driven by creative experimentation

The name Instabilelab embodies the very essence of the brand: instability not as a limitation, but as a creative driving force. An approach that interprets change as an opportunity for continuous evolution, experimentation and the exploration of new aesthetic languages.

The brand’s beginnings are also represented by the skull symbol, an iconic element that accompanied Instabilelab’s communication in its early years as a representation of breaking away from traditional decorative conventions. From the very beginning, Instabilelab chose to stand out through a design vision capable of combining creativity, contemporary craftsmanship and Made in Italy quality. Each collection is born from a research process involving textures, materials, colors and printing technologies, with the aim of offering a high expressive value.

From wallpaper to a universe of coordinated surfaces

Instabilelab’s origins are deeply rooted in the desire to transform wall decoration into an immersive design tool. Among the products that marked the brand’s evolution, several projects stand out for expanding the concept of decorative surfaces by integrating functional and scenic elements.

Book Access, for example, combined wallpaper and storage modules to create striking optical illusions, while Book Ghost introduced an integrated wall structure designed to hold books and other objects. With Light+Light, Instabilelab experimented with special photoluminescent paints capable of glowing in the dark only in selected areas, transforming the wall into a surprising visual experience. Art Kitchen brought decoration into the kitchen environment through water and heat resistant surfaces designed for backsplashes with a strong aesthetic impact.

In 2018, Custom-me was launched, a manifesto project of expressive freedom according to Instabilelab. The concept stemmed from the idea of removing boundaries between surfaces, objects and decoration, creating visual continuity between walls, fabrics, furnishings and furniture. This led to products such as Klauss tables, available in different sizes and fully customizable, Beautiful Light lamps, conceived as scenic protagonists even when switched off, and the first Relaxia and Silla upholstered furnishings, which can be covered with more than 1,600 different textures. Completing the project are the Florero planters, decorative elements designed to bring a touch of color to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Over the following years, Instabilelab progressively expanded its creative universe through the iconic collections currently available on the website: Sfumature di Magnolia, Remember Me, Memories, 24K, Materia, Avenue, My Way, In.colore and I.Magine, each distinguished by its own visual and material language.

At the same time, the brand evolved beyond traditional wallpaper through product lines dedicated to fabrics and furnishing elements: Carpetia Royal and CarpetiaLAB rugs, CurtainLAB curtain systems and Collezione Privata Volumeuno upholstered furnishings, extending its language across coordinated surfaces and interior accessories.

This journey has also been supported by continuous technological research aimed at enhancing both the aesthetics and performance of decorative surfaces. In 2025, for example, the introduction of a new cutting machine made it possible to achieve even greater visual precision and ensure a cleaner, more uniform final result, minimizing wrinkles, misalignments and installation touch ups.

10 years of collections designed for distinctive projects

Over the past decade, Instabilelab has established itself as a creative partner for architects, interior designers and professionals seeking customized and coherent decorative solutions. Collections are not conceived as standalone elements, but as design tools capable of interacting with one another to create immersive, scenic and perfectly coordinated environments. Wallpapers, fabrics, rugs and furnishing accessories thus become part of a single aesthetic narrative.

This vision will continue to guide the future of the brand, focusing on new creative contaminations, innovative decorative languages and products increasingly attentive to environmental sustainability.

The celebration held on June 12 represented not only the commemoration of an important anniversary but also the beginning of a new phase in Instabilelab’s evolution: a brand that for ten years has continued to transform surfaces and materials into expressive tools for contemporary interior design.

At the heart of this transformation, Golden Leaf wallpaper by Instabilelab emerges as the real protagonist: not merely a decorative covering, but a true architectural element capable of enveloping the entire space in a continuous visual narrative. The large-scale leaves, enriched with gold foil on a Tex Prestige substrate, transform the full-height walls into a theatrical backdrop that interacts with the natural light of the lakeside landscape and the design of contemporary furnishings.

The result is a space where luxury and nature, ingenuity and poetry coexist in perfect balance. The private spa proves Livingdreams‘ ability to translate ambitious visions into effective reality, supported by Instabilelab‘s technical expertise and innovative solutions.

We met with Nicole Hoch, founder of Livingdreams, to explore the design strategies and technical challenges that made this transformation possible.

– Transforming a bathroom into a sensory spa requires a design vision that goes beyond mere functionality. How did you develop the concept for this space, and which role did Golden Leaf graphic play in defining its emotional identity?

We wanted a modern, airy and delicate area that could connect with the trees and clearly stand out from the historic house. Thanks to the wide frameless windows, the centre of the pavilion feels like a green cave, offering scenic views among the trees. The close connection with nature is an essential part of both the architecture and the interior design.

– The choice of Instabilelab’s Tex Prestige substrate was crucial to the project’s technical success, ensuring moisture resistance in a spa environment. Beyond its functional performance, the integrated gold foil creates reflections and depth that interact with lighting. How did you approach the lighting design — from the backlit mirror to the illuminated niches — to enhance these textural qualities?

Through the many exhibitions I organised with my company, I’ve always valued staged lighting setups, because they create a dreamlike atmosphere. The eye is drawn to specific corners, etc., and the various materials take center stage, coming together to form a unified whole, a specific mood. With the help of Instabilelab, we were able to extend this wonderful staging all the way into the moist environments — and the Instabilelab team did a fantastic job in giving shape to the many design requirements. My wish was for the wallpaper pattern to look perfect whether the door was open or not; that was not so easy, but it worked out!

– The use of cladding flush doors with the same graphic represents a sophisticated technical and stylistic choice that requires millimetric precision in alignment and pattern continuity. Which were the main challenges during this phase, and how did the collaboration with Instabilelab help achieve such seamless narrative continuity?

Instabilelab‘s graphics team is highly professional, and it quickly becomes clear that such challenges are in their DNA — demanding, but absolutely achievable.

– Livingdreams operates between Switzerland and Mallorca, two very different geographical and cultural contexts. How do these two landscapes — alpine-lakeside and Mediterranean — influence your design approach? In this Lucerne project, the use of lush tropical imagery creates a deliberate contrast with the exterior: is this “sensory journey” strategy part of your design philosophy, or was it a specific response to the client’s needs?

The collection by Livingdreams offers durable, no-frills, custom-made furniture and home accessories, characterised by the use of valuable materials and a timeless design. The pieces are designed to be practical and blend into their surroundings, thus merging into a harmonious whole. A harmony that cannot be imagined in any other way. A perfect symbiosis: this is our commitment to our clients. That is why we are a good fit for both the city and the countryside, north and south.

– Designing for oneself is one of the most complex challenges: the filters of client expectations disappear, and personal desires emerge, often clashing with rational design thinking. How did you manage this dual role — designer and client — in the choice of Golden Leaf graphic?

This project felt no different than when my team and I put our heart and soul into other projects for our clients. The choice of colours and materials was very clear from the beginning and didn’t change. But surprisingly, this newly built house was almost more complex than the many renovations we’ve done for ourselves in the past. It was more complex because almost anything was possible. And it was clear that a beautiful design and the materials used also had to be practical — we didn’t want to compromise on that.

The Lucerne project demonstrates how wallpaper can transcend its decorative role to become a defining architectural element. Golden Leaf graphic does not simply cover the walls, it transforms them into a theatrical backdrop that interacts with light, the lakeside landscape, and the experience of those who inhabit the space.

Nicole Hoch’s words reveal a clear philosophy: design and functionality are not compromises, but allies. Every choice — from the moisture-resistant Tex Prestige substrate to the millimetric alignment around flush doors, up to the careful calibration of the lighting to enhance the reflections of gold foil — reflects this integrated vision.

This confirms that when the materials are able to meet complex technical challenges, creative freedom can fully express itself without constraints. A bathroom environment can become what Livingdreams has managed to create: a sensory sanctuary designed to be lived in, not merely passed through.

Instabilelab reinterprets the concept of modern carpet thanks to a creative design approach based on a variety of available supports and a wide choice of patterns and configurations. From the bold graphics and distinctive shapes of the CarpetiaLAB collection, up to the timeless elegance of Carpetia Royal, each product is designed to blend harmoniously into the space and offer infinite compositional possibilities.

CarpetiaLAB and Carpetia Royal: two interpretations of contemporary carpet

CarpetiaLAB was created as a selection of specific portions of My Way graphics. Both My Way and CarpetiaLAB are the result of unflagging aesthetic research. They stand out for a range of innovative and coordinated proposals, revolutionising the concept of customised furniture thanks to unique pieces that harmoniously interact with each other and the surrounding space.

Such vision expresses the idea of a carpet that becomes the protagonist: textures, solid colours and innovative patterns reinvent the traditional format, giving shape to a creative surface. Forms break away from convention and follow the identity of the project, leaving room for unconventional compositions.

On the other hand, Carpetia Royal interprets the luxury version of the modern carpet, with graphics selected from the Remember Me collection that create an elegant and timeless proposal, designed for exclusive environments where the carpet becomes an object of value and prestige.

The carpet as a design element: materials, aesthetics and performance

Carpets and moquette take on a central role in defining the atmosphere and perception of space in contemporary projects. According to this perspective, the variety of materials becomes an essential element, which is capable of influencing not only the visual aspect, but also the tactile and functional performance. Instabilelab offers a range of durable and resistant supports, with an increasing focus on sustainability behind the choice of raw materials.

Luxury Soft 11.5 is a soft and high-quality support characterised by an enveloping and nuanced colour palette, ideal to give full expression to the vibrant colours of the Carpetia Royal collection. Moketa is characterised by a delicate and comfortable surface, intense colour range and high printing performance, which allow to perfectly highlight any Instabilelab graphic. Both supports have recently been renewed in order to be manufactured from sustainable materials, while maintaining the excellent features of the original product.

As an alternative to the classic carpet, Instabilelab’s moquette proves to be a high-quality solution, which is mostly appreciated for its flawless design and ease of cleaning. Made with the same material as the Moketa support, it has different applications and design use, thus offering additional compositional possibilities in the room.

Carpets, moquette and wallpaper: a coordinated approach that makes the room unique

In interior design, carpets have the advantage of being an independent element capable of enhancing any project with great versatility, both in the hotel world and in public and residential environments.

The offer by Instabilelab is developed through a coordinated language that makes use of different surfaces, where the combination of carpet and wallpaper allows the creation of visually coherent and balanced environments. According to this design vision, the carpets of CarpetiaLAB take on a prominent role due to their bold character, while also finding a perfect visual balance when combined with softer wallpapers. Among them, the I.magine collection introduces neutral tones and light graphics, designed to soften the perception of space. On the other hand, the In.colore collection displays monochrome and textured surfaces that act as a balancing element, thus completing the composition.

This approach allows the creation of harmonious environments without visual excess, where contrast becomes a measured design tool. Consequently, the carpet becomes the protagonist in a context where vertical surfaces give life to a harmonious continuity, balancing the different decorative elements.

With Instabilelab, every surface becomes part of a unique story. Discover the CarpetiaLAB and Carpetia Royal collections and let yourself be inspired by a new approach to interior design.

Hotel room furniture: how to customise spaces with interior design

Interior design becomes a strategic tool to enhance and differentiate the identity of a hotel, making it recognisable in the eyes of guests. Coordinated colours, materials, textures and graphics create a harmonious environment full of personality: combining wallpaper, furnishing fabrics, curtains and carpets allows to build an integrated decorative design and a distinctive and coherent visual narrative, in which each element contributes to defining a unique context. The result is a hotel room conceived as an immersive space, where design and comfort are combined to offer a memorable experience.

Hotel room furniture: how to create a coordinated design with the collections by Instabilelab

For a hotel room, coherent style represents a fundamental added value to build environments that make an impression. A coordinated design allows to create a visual balance where each factor interacts with the other, helping define a precise and well-constructed atmosphere.

According to this vision, wallpaper becomes the starting point of the entire concept. As a matter of fact, the choice of graphics, colours and textures guides the selection of all the other elements, thus giving shape to the style of the room. Our wallpaper can be integrated into the design in different ways: by discreetly decorating the space – without overpowering it – as with the In.colore collection; by taking on a more central role, as with the I.magine collection, thus becoming the delicate protagonist of a balanced and elegant environment; or by becoming a scenic presence, as with the My Way collection, thanks to bolder and more decisive graphics.

Starting from this design basis, it is possible to develop a coordinated system that involves the entire furnishing. The cushions, bed frames, wall panels and upholstered items from Collezione Privata Volumeuno are created with the same patterns of the My Way collection, but can be covered with furniture fabrics designed with any graphics from our Instabilelab collections (with the exception of 24K collection), thus ensuring continuity between surfaces and volumes. In addition, the systems of CurtainLAB help define the atmosphere of the room, adding depth by modulating the intensity of natural light based on the fabric chosen. To complete the project, we offer the design carpets of CarpetiaLAB, which use the same patterns and colours of Instabilelab’s graphics to end the composition with sophistication.

Hotel room furniture and common areas: a coordinated style for the entire building

An effective furnishing project can extend beyond the individual room, involving also common spaces to create a linear visual identity throughout the building. Aesthetic continuity between different environments helps strengthening the brand perception of the hotel and making the guest experience unforgettable. The hall, in particular, is the first point of contact with the facility. In that area, solutions such as wall panels, carpets and upholstery allow to create an elegant and distinctive reception area, capable of conveying a precise and recognisable style from the outset.

The possibility to replicate materials, graphics and colour palettes also in lounges and common areas is fundamental to maintain a uniform design language between the different spaces, making each room part of a larger narrative. The advantages of this approach are manifold, resulting in greater visual impact, a well-defined identity, and a more engaging experience for the guests. Coordinated furniture becomes a strategic tool to stand out and leave a lasting impression in the memory of those who experience the hotel.
