In&out decor: when outdoors and indoors speak the same language

A nook for alfresco reading, a terrace which looks like a sitting room or a bedroom exuding the fresh air of the great landscapes of the Far East. In&out décor is here to stay, breaking down the barriers between interior and exterior, creating spaces with a natural flow. The new Gancedo Samarkand collection transports us to the timeless landscapes of Turkestan, inviting us to follow the trend with fabrics that stand out as much for their design as for their toughness. But why is this style such a hit and how can we meld it into our lives?

A style which connects with the world

The success of the in&out trend is rooted in its ability to connect our spaces with nature. In a world where we are increasingly seeking greater tranquillity and harmony, this décor helps us create unique havens.

Gancedo’s Samarkand collection, its patterns inspired by the art and traditions of the Far East, transports us to exotic lands without leaving home. Its vibrant contemporary colours are a nod to the timeless landscapes of deserts and woodland, helping to achieve a perfect balance between energy and serenity.

Reasons to follow the trend

Decorating with an in&out focus is not just a question of aesthetics but also of practicality. The Samarkand fabrics are waterproof, fade resistant and easily washable, making them ideal both for a cosy sitting room and a sunny terrace. What’s more, by opting for furniture and textiles which can adapt to both spaces, we save time and money and achieve a visual continuity that enlarges our home.

With versatile textiles like Gancedo’s, we can transform any space. For instance,  Samarkand cushions printed with ethnic patterns lend character to either a bed or a garden bench. Mix and match earthy colours with details in natural wood for a cosy look. And don’t forget the weatherproof rugs that work just as well in a sitting room as on a porch.

The model above is the one that gives its name to the collection: a pattern of concentric circles and stripes, printed on a natural fabric which comes in coppers, blues and greens.

Much more than an exotic touch

Samarkand is not just a tribute to Turkestan but also a practical solution for modern spaces. From small projects to major renovations, these fabrics meet the demanding requirements of the hospitality sector, demonstrating that design does not have to be at loggerheads with practicality.

In this case it’s Margelan, a print featuring avant-garde geometrical motifs available in three colourways: blue with ochres; coppers and yellows; and greens and pinks.

Be inspired

If you’re planning to renovate your home with Samarkand’s unique touch, start off with simple details. With the Taki print on a bedspread and cushions, combined with striped pillows in Samarkand Stripe and a headboard upholstered in Kirghiz, you’ll transform your bedroom into an ethnic yet modern haven. Or try lightweight curtains that will let the light filter through while also serving to frame outdoor views.

For your al fresco spaces, put Khiva fabric on some sun loungers to create a nook that breathes authenticity. This ethnic tribal print, inspired by the bazaars of Uzbekistan, offers a riot of colour and design ideal for creating a cosy yet vibrant atmosphere.

With collections like Samarkand, which combines design, toughness and rich cultural inspiration, it’s impossible to resist creating spaces full of history and character.
