Small Details That Make A Big Impact On Interior Design

In interior design, it is often the subtle nuances, the smaller details, that leave the most lasting impressions. At Broad Street Interiors, we believe that elements like hardware, fixtures, and trim are not mere afterthoughts but pivotal components that define a space's elegance and character.

The Power of Small Details: Hardware

Hardware is like jewelry for your home. Selecting the right knobs, pulls, and handles can seamlessly connect design elements, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

  • Material Matters: Opt for finishes like brushed nickel or antique brass to complement your home's color palette.

     

  • Consistency is Key: Maintain uniformity in hardware styles across rooms to ensure a cohesive look.

Fixtures: Function Meets Fashion

Light fixtures and faucets are more than utilitarian objects; they're statement pieces that can elevate a room's ambiance.

  • Lighting Layers: Incorporate a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create depth and warmth.

  • Faucet Finishes: Choose finishes that resonate with your overall design theme, be it modern matte black or classic polished chrome.

Trim and Molding: The Finishing Touches

Trim work, including baseboards, crown molding, and wainscoting, adds architectural interest and sophistication to interiors.

  • Scale and Proportion: Ensure trim sizes are proportionate to room dimensions to avoid overwhelming the space.

  • Color Coordination: Paint trims in complementary hues to walls for a harmonious look or in contrasting colors for a bold statement.

Local Flair: Savannah's Signature Style

Savannah homes boast a rich tapestry of historical and contemporary designs. Incorporating local elements can infuse authenticity into your interiors.

  • Historic Inspirations: Draw from Savannah's architecture by integrating intricate moldings and vintage fixtures.

  • Modern Twists: Blend traditional designs with modern accents to create a timeless yet current aesthetic.
