The Design Journal
A notebook of ideas, observations, and quiet inspiration.
The Atelier Ercra Design Journal is a place to pause and reflect on the art of creating spaces that feel alive with meaning.
Here, we share notes from behind the studio - thoughts on interiors, colour, materials, and atmosphere - alongside stories from our projects and the inspirations that shape them.
It’s less about trends, more about perspective: how design can tell stories, stir emotion, and bring a sense of belonging to the spaces we inhabit.
Whether it’s a detail noticed in a historic hotel, a colour story unfolding, or the craft behind a single material, each entry explores the moments where creativity and place meet.
Welcome to our ongoing conversation about design, beauty, and the spaces that make us feel at home.
How to choose the right white paint?
White paint isn’t just ‘white’. Every white has an undertone, and that undertone quietly shapes how a space feels.
Colour of the Day: But make it make sense! BURGUNDY
Burgundy is one of those colours that completely transforms a room the moment it’s applied. It’s rich, grounding, sophisticated and full of quiet drama.
