Charles Eames famously said, "The details are not the details. They make the design." This often rings true for us as I find that the details are the element that pull together an entire room bringing the space to life.
Finding meaning to those areas that are tucked away provides opportunity to showcase our client's personal aesthetic and design sense. It's always fun to incorporate objects and mementos in a curated way to showcase our clients' personality. Here's a snapshot of some favorite curated corners over the years with a few tips and tricks to take into account when styling small spaces.
Florals are a natural and easy way to add some color to a room and instantly elevate any corner or hallway. Plus the vessel provides an opportunity to add texture or a sculptural element.
So dust off the vase in your cupboard, visit a local florist, and embrace the change of the seasons.
Corners and small spaces are a great opportunity to let your objects and art shine. I always enjoy this part of the design process because it gives me a chance to collaborate on a more personal level with my clients.
Entertaining is a great opportunity to play with your space and get creative. Next time you have a dinner party, experiment with your glassware and tablescapes. It can help set the festive tone for any occasion.
If you feel stuck, follow your gut and see what you come up with. The beauty in working in small spaces is that you can always rearrange and recreate your vision. When in doubt, channel Charles Eames!
