Small Changes, Big Impact: Quick and Easy Interior Design Updates

Today on the blog, we’re sharing the best low-lift design elements that will make the greatest impact in your rooms.

Lighting — Layered, dimmable, and beautiful

Having the right kind of lighting in a space is crucial to a beautiful interior design. And it’s not just the kinds of lighting - but how you can control it and how much of it you have. The more levels, layers, and controls in your lighting, the more luxurious your space feels and the better it works for you. Light control with multiple levels of brightness ensures you can see clearly when doing tasks such as working or cleaning, but you can also relax appropriately when you are winding down or entertaining. When we design a room, we add task, ambient, and accent lighting always. We select the most beautiful accent lighting with the finest finishes, and we consider the way that light interacts with walls and sunlight.

Add smart storage and cabinetry

Built-ins are relatively low lift in the greater scheme of construction projects. Built in shelving and cabinetry make a huge difference in the functionality and design of your space. They often add elegance and interest to a space, while making the space considerably more usable. Built-ins solve a storage problem, thereby cutting down on clutter in your space while also making it more peaceful and beautiful. They’re one of the best design elements in a home. They’re versatile in their design and configurations, making it a truly customizable solution to many of our clients’ problems.

Pick up your paintbrush

Paint wears over time, it gets scuffed and dinged. It’s not something your mind would often notice overtly, but you pick up on it when you scan a room if the paint is slightly aged, believe it or not that translates into how you perceive your space. A fresh coat of paint, applied professionally with proper wall prep and dry times makes an extraordinary difference in the quality of your room. Painting a room and/or changing the paint color of a room is one of the most impactful things you can do to update your rooms.

We recommend having a color palette in mind when painting your rooms. What color will best compliment the furniture for the space? Test your paint colors on your walls before you commit to it. It’s always important to see it on the wall in your home’s lighting to determine if it’ll really work in your space.

Whatever your project may be, the team you choose to execute it makes all the difference.
