As a homeowner, you are always looking for ways to improve the quality of your interiors. What can you do to add more detailed elements?
That is what we cover in this guide. We look at all of the ways you can improve your interiors by increasing the level of detail they embody and ensuring that you always have something interesting to look at when you are not watching TV.
Use more crown molding
If you’re not using crown modelling yet in your interiors, then why not? You don’t have to pay a specialist craftsman to come in and install it for you anymore. Instead, you can get simple stick-on versions that attach to the border around your ceiling and the area around your central chandelier or light. It’s so easy to install and you can sometimes do it yourself if you have a little bit of understanding about how it works.
Install cast-iron radiators
Installing cast iron radiators is another approach you could take. Manufacturers are making these increasingly detailed, and many have luxurious embellishments on them that wouldn’t look out of place in a Georgian mansion.
Brands like Cast Iron Radiator Centre have some of the best examples of the sort of products available. As you all quickly see, you can really go to town on these. You can really find something that matches your current home theme.
Use curated artwork
Curated artwork is one of the best ways to establish a brand identity for your home. This might sound a bit strange, but branding can work in the domestic environment just as well as it can in a commercial one. Once you get it right, your home will have a specific atmosphere and ambience about it that’s difficult to replicate. Nobody will really understand how you’re doing it, but everything will unconsciously fit together if you adopt this approach.
Use more biophilic variables
If you’re not using biophilic variables right now, you should be. Greenery isn’t just about decoration. It’s also about softening hard lines that can dominate interiors.
Think about what your space feels like. If it feels too digital or corporate, you want plants that are the perfect bridge to organic shapes. Don’t just stick a single pot plant in the corner. Cluster and layer them. Make sure you have plants of different heights and slightly different shades. Green is obviously the dominant colour, but you could choose more floral colours if your interiors need colourful focal points.
Use white space
Finally, while it might sound a bit strange, you can add more decorative details to your interiors by making more use of white space. Many people treat their surfaces like storage units rather than canvases, so leaving more blankness on your sideboards and on your walls can actually enhance the appearance of what’s already there. You see this technique being regularly adopted in high-end cafes and hotels. Ideally, you should follow the 60/40 rule: 40% of visible surfaces (like desks and shelving) should be clear, and 60% should have books or vases on it.
