A CSS pseudo-class is a keyword added to a selector that specifies a special state of the selected element(s). For example, :hover can be used to change a button’s color when the user’s pointer hovers over it.

Other pseudo-elements and pseudo-class selectors, :not() can be chained with other pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements. For example, the following will add a “New!” word to list items that do not have a .old class name, using the ::after

Trivia & Notes

The :not() selector is chainable with more :not() selectors. For example, the following will match all articles except the one with an ID #featured, and then will filter out the articles with a class name .tutorial:

article:not(#featured):not(.tutorial) {
    /* style the articles that match */
}

Just like other pseudo-elements and pseudo-class selectors, :not() can be chained with other pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements. For example, the following will add a “New!” word to list items that do not have a .old class name, using the ::after pseudo-element:

li:not(.old)::after {
    content: "New!";
    color: deepPink;
}

On the Specificity of Selectors

The specificity of the :not() pseudo-class is the specificity of its argument. The :not() pseudo-class does not add to the selector specificity, unlike other pseudo-classes.

The simple selector that :not() takes as an argument can be any of the following:

• Type selector (e.g p, span, etc.)
• Class selector (e.g .element, .sidebar, etc.)
• ID selector (e.g #header)
• Pseudo-class selector (e.g :first-child, :last-of-type)

Reference

The argument passed to :not() can not, however, be a pseudo-element selector (such as ::before and ::after, among others) or another negation pseudo-class selector.

As an architect based in Reggio Calabria, I recently completed the renovation and interior restyling of a 1930s apartment, located in the heart of the city.

This project reflects a delicate balance between preserving historical character and creating a bright, modern living environment

Preserving the Past: Original Cement Tile Floors

A defining feature of the original home—its decorative cement tile flooring (cementine decorate)—was carefully preserved, restored, and celebrated as a central design element.

These floors, rich in colour and geometric patterns, tell the story of the home’s origins and craftsmanship from the early 20th century, adding texture and character to the new interiors.

Redesigning Space for Light and Flow

To suit contemporary living, the internal layout was redesigned to create a more fluid spatial experience. By opening and reconfiguring the connecting rooms, the living area now benefits from the full flow of natural light coming in from large southwest-facing windows.

These windows, shaped in keeping with the early 1900s eclectic architectural style, frame the view and flood the space with warm southern light

High Ceilings, Minimal Elegance

With its high ceilings and carefully selected materials, the apartment exudes a sense of airy sophistication. The interiors are enhanced by minimal, elegant furnishings and integrated comforts, creating a space that is both timeless and functional. Every design choice—from lighting to layout—was made to honor the building’s heritage while aligning with the needs of modern life.

Key Features of the Renovation

• Restoration of original 1930s cement tile floors
• Creation of open, flowing interiors for better spatial continuity
• Enhancement of natural light through southwest exposure
• Custom windows in early 20th-century eclectic style
• Minimalist, refined furnishings that highlight the architecture
• Modern comfort integrated discreetly within historical context
