2 RAFFI TODAY Liberty is a meaningful word; the idea behind it is even more meaningful. Ensuring that it becomes something enjoyed by all is a significant challenge. However, when it comes to personal freedom, we can give this gift to ourselves immediately, simply by living our life the way we want to live it. This life should be lived in a place where it feels liberated and at home. As a designer for the home furnishing brand Raffi, I have set myself the task of creating beautiful things that allow you to design your private environment to be exactly how you want it. Sometimes all it takes is a small change or an extra touch to make a big impact on your living space. A new coat of paint in a calm colour, striking wallpaper, or perhaps a contemporary skirting board to frame your interior in a completely new way. Raffi walldeco is writing modern design history and the key figures are walls, people and interior style. For me, walls are more than just an architectural necessity that silently reminds us of the fact that rooms have a beginning and an end. A wall s surface finish allows the character of a room to fully reveal itself. Walls and ceilings offer us the freedom and space to create the desired atmosphere and to develop our personal home style. The interaction between the various design elements, such as colours, wallpapers, mouldings and skirting boards, results in a very personal style mix that is in harmony with the needs of the residents. Each lifestyle brand offers its own vision of a perfect home that it shares with people in the form of designs, colours and patterns. Raffi s vision consists of combining a modern look with plenty of natural elements and gentle beauty. Enjoy your freedom and browse the following pages let our idea of the perfect home inspire you to be happy and content. Maarten Vrolijk

3 Rosette Rosary Volute Estate Rose PALACE GHOSTS WITH MODERN AMBITIONS How simple lines became decorative elements Drop A look at the history of using carefully crafted skirting boards, dado rails and elaborate stucco plasterwork to decorate walls will always lead us to their aristocratic origins, reminding us of their role in royal palaces and castles. Ever since homes have become more than just safe places to live, people have been creatively decorating their walls with precious materials and beautiful mouldings. The age when a wall was just a wall has long since passed. With creative ideas, contemporary designs and extremely modern styles, mouldings, cornices and skirting boards are conquering the world of interiors and are making an impressive impact. These days, walls and ceiling decorations can once again be a bit more flamboyant, especially if the curves used are gentle, like the petals of a rose. The elegant ceiling rose Rosette from the new Raffi walldeco range also produces its striking effect in contemporary, newly built homes, proving itself to be stylistically independent from period interiors and high ceilings. RAFFI MOULDINGS A modern love story between wall and style Especially on the walls of large rooms, mouldings are style-defining elements that have a strong impact. They act as a welcome counterpart to the plain soberness of a large expanse of wall. Rails, mouldings and profiles can also be used to creatively fashion large-scale frames. Contemporary wooden floor finishes and a distinctive flair for beautiful objects go well with these wall pictures. Elegance and cosiness could not meet in a more perfectly shaped way. Mouldings, coving or cornicing add visually exciting accents and are a quick and easy way to turn a hallway into an elegant reception area.

4 COMBINE & CREATE Giving body to painted colour BEAUTIFULLY COMBINED Wallpaper, paint colour and mouldings Wallpaper, paint colour and decorative mouldings could be called the three wall artists. When these artists work together in unity, things take on a stylish, contemporary look, yet everything also stays relaxed and well-balanced. A beautiful luxury that will quickly and effortlessly be at home in any home. Raffi paint establishes a naturally beautiful connection between walls and decorative elements from the walldeco range. The subtle, earthy shades of the Raffi paint range of colours increase the visual impact of the mouldings and create a fusion between the wall and the decorative elements that results in a well-balanced overall look. As all paint colours can be combined with each other, subtle effects can be achieved that will add only as much liveliness as is desired. Light shades of beige are an elegant yet flattering background for linear shapes, cool materials and wood. Cosiness does not necessarily equal rusticity, nor does elegance necessarily mean severity. An especially charming effect is the subtle light-dark nuancing between the expanse of the wall and decorative rails, mouldings or stucco elements, as this further accentuates the sculptural character of the latter. A clever combination of paint colours and wall mouldings can bring the best out of any room. Mouldings can even be used to fashion creative murals in the bedrooms of the youngest family members, or to frame their favourite heroes. And another in-vogue wall artist is flirting with the charm of the new mouldings: wallpaper. The latest Raffi wallpaper collection Villa Raphael offers a choice of designs, all waiting to be accentuated by the gentle curves of the walldeco range. THE FRAME DECIDES How long the memory stays with you Pictures in various sizes, creatively arranged and beautifully framed, add a lively radiance to silent walls and soon become an attractive, eye-catching feature. Raffi walldeco gives you the liberty to decide how you want to frame your memories forever. Here, personal taste decides which picture is displayed framed by which mouldings and in which size. Although, maybe it won t be old pictures that connect the people and the room, but instead ornate, contemporary patterns such as eden from the Villa Raphael wallpaper collection. SWEET DREAMS LAST NIGHT Then it s time to return to reality Grandad s wingback armchair has been re-covered and has once more become a favourite spot, the old wooden cradle has been given a lick of new paint and now functions as a decorative collecting place for as yet unread books, a reminder of sleepless nights and the first smile but something is still missing. Maybe a period home feel in the living room, a stylish frame for the reading corner, an attractive showstopper in the hallway or a decorative picture gallery that recaptures the most beautiful moments of past holidays? Personal interior dreams that can come true in a way that is quick and easy.

6 DIY ROYALTY Quick and easy the product is the expert here BEAUTIFUL ROOMS... love walls with features Walls and ceilings offer plenty of space for adding new characteristics to a room. Decorative mouldings, beautiful paint colours or striking wallpapers are a quick and easy way to design walls creatively to great effect. This change doesn t have to wait until the next rainy weekend or your first day off from work. A few simple steps is all it takes to change more than just the room s image. Each piece of moulding is a piece of art and also releases the artist in you. WALL ARTISTS DON T NEED ANYONE ELSE Cut. Glue. Paint. The Raffi walldeco range includes rails and decorative mouldings as well as stucco ornaments and decorative accent pieces that pave the way for truly individual, liberated interior design. The Raffi brand also offers all of the accessory products needed. There are just a few simple steps between your idea and its realisation. As soon as the right moulding has been chosen, the desired position can be marked on the wall, the desired size can determined, and the rail or moulding can be cut to size. A fine saw and a mitre box prove themselves to be expert professionals that guarantee a perfect angle. After that, simply apply mounting adhesive to the reverse of the rail, moulding or ornament and firmly stick the decorative element onto the wall. All that is needed now is a bit of paint for a perfectly beautiful result. The Raffi paint range of colours contains subtle earthy shades with a sophisticated character. Painting mouldings and walls in the same shade results in a calm, elegant look. All of the shades in the the Raffi range of colours can be combined with each other, which means you can set beautiful accents that elegantly emphasise the 3D effect of the mouldings. The stucco ornaments can be painted using effects such as clouding or stippling before they are mounted, in preparation for the intensive relationship that the colours are about to form. First and foremost, the stucco ceiling rose will cleverly stage many a chandelier to come.
