These Decor Details Elevate a Space From Good to Wow
Small additions not always noticed by the casual eye can transform the look of a place and add oodles of style. Here are a few examples
Have you ever stepped into a room and fallen immediately in love with it? Chances are it had something to do with the extra detailing in that space. They say God is in the detail, and truly so. A well-designed interior is a culmination of some large and some tiny, yet significant, things. These small things add that extra flourish to the look of the space, thereby creating an impressive interior. Here are some examples.
Trad cabinet inside contemporary room
The soft-toned, cosy bedroom induces a feeling of utter relaxation. Elements like the ceiling lights, plush bedding and the dark floor come together to create a cohesive modern design scheme, but the stand-alone vintage-style armoire by itself adds contrast and plenty of charm. I love how the painted cabinet glistens and adds a sparkle to the room.

Textured shower glass
A feeling of luxury radiates in this washroom – but not without the screen. Take a look at the etched-glass partition that seems like a wave breaking on a shore: it makes for a striking addition, giving the room an animated quality.

Dainty edge to upholstery
I love the contrast piping on the white sectional. What a wonderful way to dip into the world of vibrant upholstery – it makes for a dainty design inclusion and encourages you to sit up and take notice.

Playful cabinet handles
In this children’s bedroom, the design hinges on fun child-friendly elements such as the bunk bed, striped wallpaper and the open niches for toys inside the bunk bed unit. What really seals the deal is the numerals as cabinet handles, adding an extra dose of playfulness.

Design-laden railing
Looking at this balustrade, words like ‘minimal yet impactful’ come to mind. Of course the understair storage makes quite a statement, but can you ignore the wrought-iron railing that gives a modern, stylish look to the entire space? They almost look like they’ve been drawn in thin air with a ruler – so slender, clean and symmetrical.

Design within the shelf
Open shelves are great for storing and displaying the best of curios and art – and when the back of the shelf is also accentuated with interesting textures and colours like in this image, it makes the unit look even more decorative and eye-catching.

Embossing on glass
It is delicate and fantastical – seemingly a hurried deer dashing across a stretch of land, reflected on the frosted glass. A nice bit of embossing on the window.

There’s a lot to like in this island kitchen – be it the cabinets, the open shelves next to the window or the wooden flooring. However, one detail that really catches the eye and adds another layer of interest is the graphic encaustic cement tiles inlaid like a rug. A nice ornamental touch, wouldn’t you agree?
