Movement in Mallorca isn’t only about performance—it’s also about restoration.

WHAT’S NEXT IN INTERIOR DESIGN

The Evolution of Interior Design:2025’s Most Defining Trends The world of interior design is stepping into 2025 with a bold new vision—one that celebrates individuality, texture, and history.

Gone are the days of stark minimalism and restrained palettes; instead, homes are transforming into layered, expressive sanctuaries that feel both deeply personal and effortlessly elegant. From the resurgence of Art Deco opulence to the revival of rich, storied materials, this year’s design trends bridge the past and future, proving that true luxury is not just about aesthetics—it’s about storytelling.

1 . The Art Deco Revival: Glamour Meets Geometry

2.Verdigris Accents: The Beauty of Patina

3.Brown Furniture: A Nod to Heritage

Elegance finds new life in the reawakening of Art Deco influences. From furniture silhouettes to intricate wall paneling, the bold lines, geometric motifs, and rich lacquered finishes of the 1920s are making a grand return.

Unlike the heavy opulence of the past, this resurgence integrates with contemporary spaces in a more refined manner—think marble inlays, metallic accents, and symmetrical patterns that whisper rather than shout.

Art Deco’s ability to merge historical grandeur with modern sensibilities makes it a design movement that is both timeless and strikingly fresh.

Aged copper’s signature green-blue patina, verdigris, is emerging as a subtle yet striking accent in lighting, accessories, and hardware.

This naturally weathered effect brings an organic richness to interiors, offering a departure from high-polish metals in favor of finishes that evolve over time. Whether appearing in sculptural lighting fixtures or artisanal homeware, verdigris tones lend a sense of heritage and depth, effortlessly complementing the earthier, natureinspired palettes that are shaping modern homes.

In an era of disposable decor, antiques and heirloom pieces are reclaiming their space. English and American antiques, affectionately referred to as “brown furniture,” are experiencing a revival among collectors and designers who appreciate their rich patina, craftsmanship, and depth of character. Whether it’s a Georgian writing desk or a Queen Anne dining chair, these historical pieces offer a grounding presence in interiors, pairing beautifully with modern art and contemporary textiles for a sophisticated, layered look. The move toward authenticity signals a broader appreciation for history and sustainability in design.

4.Drapery as Art: Softness with Structure

5.Velvet: The Return of Tactility

6.Jewel Tones & The Rise of Yellow

Velvet is taking center stage, replacing the soft boucle textures of previous years.

This luxurious, touchable material is appearing in a spectrum of hues, from deep jewel tones to soft neutrals. Unlike its overly decadent past, today’s velvet is more nuanced—think cut velvets with intricate patterns, cotton velvets with a matte finish, and layered upholstery that adds richness without excess. As homeowners crave more intimate, inviting spaces, velvet’s tactile quality makes it a go-to for statement seating, drapery, and accent pieces.

While neutrals will always have their place, interiors are shifting towards more vibrant, jeweltoned palettes. Rich greens, deep blues, and warm ambers create a sense of depth and coziness, moving away from cooler, more sterile shades. In particular, yellow is emerging as the defining color of 2025—inspired by the golden hues found in historical tapestries and naturally dyed fabrics. Whether used as an accent or a full-room statement, yellow infuses spaces with an undeniable energy, bridging tradition with modern expression.

Drapery is no longer merely functional; it is sculptural, immersive, and artistic. Whether pleated, oversized, or cascading in dramatic folds, fabric installations are redefining how we frame and soften spaces. Large-scale, patterned drapery adds movement to interiors, balancing the structured geometry of modern architecture with a sense of warmth and fluidity. Layered sheers, velvet panels, and bold prints lend a theatrical touch, transforming windows into framed expressions of style. This shift signals a return to craftsmanship— where fabric becomes an integral part of spatial storytelling.

In 2025, interior design embraces heritage, craftsmanship, and personal expression. As the world speeds up, interiors slow down, prioritizing character and emotion.

“For me, the menu is like my children.

I love them all the same way”

Connected Mallorca

An exclusive interview with Diego Gallegos, the ‘King of Caviar,’ on his journey from dishwasher to Michelin-starred chef , and how he’s redefining sustainable fine dining at Sollo, Marbella.

Just months after its opening Sollo, a fine dining restaurant in Fuengirola, was awarded a coveted Michelin star. Today, it also holds two Repsol Suns and the prestigious Green Michelin Star, the first of its kind in Malaga province. To uncover the story behind these accolades, The Agency Marbella had the privilege of sitting down with the man behind it all: Diego Gallegos, affectionately known as the ‘King of Caviar.’

Gallegos is not only a culinary visionary but also a father of two, a passionate environmentalist, and a chef whose life story reads like the script of an underdog movie.

From his humble beginnings as a law student in Brazil to his ascent as a leading figure in Spanish gastronomy, his tale is one of resilience, creativity, and a commitment to sustainability.

zero.

“We try to emulate the natural ecosystem. Each plant works better with different kinds of fish (...) The only thing wasted here is the water by evaporation,” he says, as he guides us through the facility.

The ingredients for Sollo’s courses are sourced predominantly on-site, including herbs from a meticulously cultivated garden. These plants, used in desserts and infusions, feature unexpected flavors like camembert cheese and European wasabi.

The Darth Vader Gummy and the Art of Sobremesa

From Dishwasher to Michelin Star Diego Gallegos’s culinary journey began unexpectedly. After arriving in the South of Spain as a law student, he took up a job as a dishwasher to support himself and stay longer.

One day, the chef at his workplace called in sick, and Gallegos was asked to step in. That day, he says, everything for him changed.

“You don’t have time to think of anything. It’s like a feeling that I have never felt in another place,” Gallegos recalls, likening the chaotic yet exhilarating kitchen atmosphere to the scenes from The Bear, the hit TV series starring Jeremy Allen White.

The thrill of that moment led him to abandon his law books and pursue culinary training, much to the dismay of his father.

“It was difficult because at this time nobody wanted to be a chef,” he admits, reflecting on the stigma attached to the profession at the time.

SANTINA Brunch

A Menu That Tells His Story At Sollo, nestled in the luxurious Higueron Resort, Gallegos has curated a dining experience that mirrors his life’s journey. His tasting menu is a narrative that begins in Brazil, weaving through his Peruvian heritage and his Spanish influences. Family recipes take center stage, such as an innovative version of the tiger milk his grandmother used to make, enriched with high-end culinary techniques.

“Each dish tells a part of my story,” he explains. “For me, the menu is like my children. I love them all the same way.”

A Green Gastronomic Revolution Sollo’s Green Michelin Star is a testament to Gallegos’s dedication to sustainability. The restaurant’s 10,000-liter aquaponic system integrates fish farming with vegetable cultivation, reducing waste to nearly

A playful nod to his childhood, Gallegos’s signature Darth Vader gummy has become a highlight of Sollo’s menu.

“Darth Vader, for me, is the special one. He was the bad guy in all the movies, but in the end, he was nice (...) because he saved his son,” Gallegos shares with a smile.

Beyond the inventive dishes, Gallegos champions the Spanish tradition of sobremesa—a leisurely, immersive dining experience that celebrates conversation and connection.

At Sollo, sustainability is not just an ethos but an experience that invites guests to slow down, savor, and engage with a gastronomic journey unlike any other. With his unwavering passion and innovative spirit, Diego Gallegos has not only redefined fine dining in Fuengirola but also set a new standard for sustainable gastronomy in Spain.

Boating in Mallorca

TIPS FOR BOATERS

Mallorca By Sea—A Boater’s Guide

Wajer

A Dutch builder with a family legacy, Wajer crafts luxury day-boats from 38 to 77 feet. Its Puerto Portals hub handles everything from maintenance to concierge services, ensuring effortless exploration of the island’s waters. Blending performance, comfort, and timeless elegance, Wajer delivers a carefree yachting concept in Mallorca.

Few experiences rival the thrill of discovering Mallorca by sea. Whether you’re gliding past dramatic cliffs or slipping into a secluded inlet for a quick swim, boating allows an intimate encounter with the island’s hidden gems. Turquoise waters, secluded beaches, and sweeping views make each voyage unforgettable—an invitation to savor the island’s maritime charm at your own pace.

Renting a Boat: Tailored Adventures For many visitors and residents, renting is the simplest way to embrace Mallorca’s aquatic playground. Beginners or those without a license can opt for smaller, license-free inflatable boats perfect for exploring shoreline coves near bustling ports. If speed and distance matter more, licensed captains can rent larger powerboats or sailboats, opening the possibility of reaching remote spots such as Sa Calobra or Formentor’s breathtaking waters. Those seeking a fully indulgent day might charter a yacht staffed by a professional crew, complete with gourmet dining and sunset cruises—a luxurious approach to experiencing Mallorca’s coastal magic.

Regardless of style, a rental boat offers freedom. Drop anchor in crystal-clear shallows for a snorkel session, or time your departure to watch the sun slip below the horizon. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a romantic trip, or simply a day of spontaneous adventure, boat hire lets you define your ideal escapade.

Frauscher at Puerto Portals

Renowned Austrian shipyard Frauscher extends its reach with a new base in Puerto Portals.

Known for designdriven craft and pioneering e-mobility collaborations—such as with Porsche—Frauscher finds the perfect setting amid this elegant luxury harbor. Expect performance, innovation, and next-level boating experiences.

Buying a Boat: Making the Sea Your Second Home

For more committed seafaring enthusiasts, purchasing a vessel in Mallorca promises an ongoing bond with the island’s shifting blues.

First and foremost, consider how you plan to use the boat—will you be taking weekend cruises or organizing extended excursions around the Balearics? Research local listings and attend boat shows to gauge price points, condition, and availability. Once you’ve found a promising option, hire a trusted marine surveyor. An in-depth inspection can reveal hidden flaws in the hull or engine, safeguarding you from unexpected costs and disappointment later on.

Documentation is equally critical. Check that the boat’s registration, VAT status, and licensing requirements are in order. Maintenance typically runs around 10% of a vessel’s value each year, and you’ll need to factor in mooring fees, insurance, and taxes. With the right preparation—plus a clear sailing license—a well-negotiated purchase paves the way for endless exploration of Mallorca’s coastline.

THE AGENCY | MALLORCA

Destinations to Inspire Whether you’re renting or have purchased your own vessel, the island’s iconic spots beckon. Sa Calobra, framed by towering cliffs, offers striking vistas and hidden nooks perfect for a peaceful swim. Formentor’s pristine waters captivate with their shifting turquoise tones, while Porto Cristo’s sheltered port invites calm anchorage near the famous Cuevas del Drach. Each destination reveals a different facet of Mallorca’s beauty, from adrenaline-fueled adventures to tranquil, postcard-worthy moments.

Anchoring with Care Beyond the pleasure of cruising, Mallorca’s marine environment deserves mindful stewardship. Anchoring in areas like Sa Calobra or Formentor can be magical, but it’s crucial to protect the local seagrass meadows (Posidonia) and other fragile ecosystems. Where possible, use mooring buoys to avoid disturbing the seabed. If you must drop anchor, favor sandy or rocky substrates over delicate seagrass beds. Consulting Posidonia maps or resources from local environmental groups can guide you to responsible anchorage spots. Eco-friendly anchor designs can further limit impact, as can properly positioning your chain to prevent scouring the ocean floor. By following local regulations and choosing methods that minimize damage, you’ll help ensure Mallorca’s crystalline waters remain vibrant for generations to come.

Ultimately, boating in Mallorca is a symphony of discovery: from the practicalities of renting or buying to the serene moment of dropping anchor in a hidden cove. With a bit of planning and a respectful approach, you’ll gain not only access to some of the island’s most enchanting destinations but a deeper connection to its heartbeat—the alluring intersection where sea meets shore.
