evoke memories, convey well-being, and complete the identity of an environment.

Materials and textures: when touch also decorates

Even the material an element is made of contributes to its décor. Rough, smooth, matte, or glossy surfaces create tactile and visual experiences that enrich the space.

For example:

  • A matte resin sink communicates essentiality and modernity
  • A stone-effect shower tray adds texture
  • A brushed finish tap gives a technical and elegant touch

The materials proposed by Domus Habitat — such as those of Mobiltesino , Paini and Cipì — are
designed to last over time and convey quality at first touch.

How to harmonize the three senses: small choices, big
effect


You don't need to turn your entire house upside down to get a complete sensory effect.
You can start from a single room — like the bathroom or the entrance — and intervene on three
key elements:

  • A well-placed light
  • A carefully chosen room diffuser
  • A material that feels good to the touch

This approach allows you to transform even the simplest spaces into experiences to be
live, without invasive renovations, but with great emotional impact.

Experience the house with all your senses


True design speaks not only to the eye. It speaks to the body, to breathing, to daily well-being.
Domus Habitat selects products that are not only beautiful, but also sensorial: to be touched,
to smell, to illuminate.
