When you’re focusing on room design in your home, you should consider incorporating one focal point into each space to make a style statement. This has become a huge trend in interior design. And, while you can put together a space with a number of beautiful elements, you really only need one to create a “wow” factor. At Skyline Window Coverings, we see so many gorgeous homes of our clients that are absolutely doing it right. Today, we are sharing our top 5…
An Outdoor Backdrop
Coming in at the top of the list–it’s the windows, of course! Large windows are the ideal backdrop for your home, showing off the landscape and letting in natural light. But, leaving them bare can wreak havoc on your interiors with too much light, heat and UV rays. That’s why we love bringing custom shades into room design. You can coordinate fabrics with other elements in the space, and when you choose shades that have special characteristics, like these Designer Banded Shades, it’s a truly unique backdrop in your home.
The Feature Wall
Creating an accent wall within a room design is a perfect way to give the space instant personality and pizazz! The key is to keep it to one wall–normally, you would showcase the wall that faces you as you enter the room. This one focal wall sets the scene without being surrounded by too much design. There are so many products on the market today, from wall moulding to shiplap, and from tile to wallpaper.
Lighting
A truly unique design element? The chandelier. This has become commonplace in design, with exquisite lighting showing up in rooms where no one had ever thought they belonged–primary bathrooms, nurseries, even laundry rooms. We love that bringing ONE piece into this space enhanced the design so this–once minimalist–dining area is positively bursting with style.
Bold Accents
In addition to the lighting and accent wall ideas, adding color, pattern and textured to your room design are all ways to personalize the space. You’ll enhance the look with intentional colors that you love. Mix and match patterns for upscale design. Highlight a collection of art-inspired items to showcase, and bring in furnishings that are beautiful–but allow the space to be functional. You don’t have to do it all like the dining room in this home, just pick one, and get started!
Built-in Shelving
We love to see function in room design, and adding built-in shelving, along with work spaces, and a few cabinets to store supplies, is a perfect mix of style and function. Built-ins have become a popular feature in living rooms and family rooms, bedrooms for both children and adults, but the home office was made for this kind of style-function marriage of sorts.
