Taking your Design Project from Good to GREAT
According to well known designer Alexa Hampton, “In an age when everyone can buy the same sofa and fabrics on the internet, we may have reached the point where all that distinguishes our design from everyone else’s are the details.”
Perhaps uniqueness is the ultimate luxury.
Details allow you to customize a piece of furniture, a window treatment, or even a pillow and make it uniquely yours. It doesn’t have to be costly, just interesting and distinctive.
Something as simple as nailheads or contrast welt on a chair, or banding on drapery panels can set your design apart from the pack. Sometimes the trim on a pillow can tie your entire color scheme together and make it work.
Ideally, the details and furnishings you choose have special meaning to you. A memento from a trip, a gift from a dear friend, or a family heirloom can add a layer of warmth and personality to your space.
It’s the special touches that really draw one into a space and make it feel personal and inviting. So make sure you incorporate several special touches into your next design project.
