Understanding The Importance Of Small Details In Interior Design

By Vickie Daeley


When it comes to decorating, we know what we like and we know that furnishings, paint color and lighting make a huge impact in any room. However, any good designer will tell you that it's not just the biggest elements that make a statement. The little details in design can truly transform a room from good into great. Here are some details you should think about when you are getting ready to redo just about any room in your home.

While the exterior of your cabinetry and your doors certainly makes a bold statement, don't forget about carefully selecting your knobs and pulls. There are literally thousands of amazing choices out there to fit virtually any design style from sleek and contemporary to quirky and colorful. Even an armoire, dresser or display cabinet can be fitted up with unique knobs or drawer pools. Consider a cute wine cabinet with knobs made out of cork or something fashioned from pewter for a French country living room or kitchen.

Natural elements, such as plants and fresh flowers, are small things that truly bring a room to life. There is definitely a style of plant or flower to suit any design style. If you have a cozy country bedroom, consider a rustic vase filled with daisies or sunflowers. A clear glass vase filled with white callas and greenery makes a bold statement and is just the right touch for a stark, contemporary living room. There are many styles of plants, flowers, pots and vases to consider and each one should accentuate your overall design.

Sometimes people want a room that is stark and simple, free of everything but a few carefully selected accessories. One item that can bring in a good amount of warmth without distracting from other more important elements of a room is a well-designed rug. You can select a rug that is pre-made or even have your interior designer create a special custom design for your rug. This customization ensures that you get just the right style and that the size is perfect for your space.

Decorative accessories are another fabulous option for making your room distinctive. This is where you want to put a few of your collectibles on display, grouping them together to make a statement. Or change out your items seasonally. Choose seashells for a bright summer feel and tiny autumn wreaths for cozy warmth.

While we all have some great decorating ideas of our own, a professional designer can capture the spirit of our personality and transform this into a cohesive plan. Hiring a design team can be the fastest and most efficient way to turn your house into a dream home. Not only, will they be able to create a design that fits your taste, your designers will be able work on the project instead of it falling on you to fit in painting, shopping and DIY construction work.
