After studying past projects I realized we consistently weave four elements into our interior design projects. I came to my own conclusion that these elements are the secret sauce. It’s what gives a space life, dimension and mostly importantly; it’s what make makes the room just feel so good.
Below is one of our recent interior design projects in Kennewick ,Washington where all four of these elements were used.
Texture
Every room needs texture. Texture is what makes a room feel cozy, and gives the space depth. Texture helps a room not feel flat. I love incorporating organic textures such as stone, wood, and organic fabrics. Other ways to add texture is through pillows, throws, baskets, and upholstery. In this space we used texture through pillows, a side tables and upholstery.
2. Old and New
Nothing brings charm to a room like vintage and new friends hooking arms and collaborating together. They are long lost friends where the vintage tells a story of the past and the new is making memories for future generations to come. We source mostly new for our interior design clients but definitely find it important to incorporate these found treasures! It makes a room feel collective and one of a kind. It’s obvious the stand up piano is the long lost friend in this story!
3. Mix of Materials.
Mixing of materials is really important in your room design. Metal, wood, stone and wovens are great materials to mix in your space. My favorite places to mix materials are are end tables, coffee tables, frames and lighting. In this project we mixed materials in lighting, frames and end tables.
4. Something Personal
Of course you need this element for your room right? And did you know It can be more than just photos. Like a souvenir from a vacation, a crochet blanket, or an object that has sentimental meaning. It could even just be something that reflects your style in a unique way. . No matter what it is, you need to bring some personal items into your design. This is what will make your space feel relatable and most importantly, reflective of you and your unique style! In this space our client had the sweetest little piano stool she used when she was a little girl that is tucked under the upright piano.
We hoped this help you in your endeavors to create a space you love to come home to. Thanks for stopping by! Let us know if there is something you would like us to cover in our future blog posts in the comments.
Warmly,
