When you want to make a statement in room design, you don’t have to focus on the entire room. Many times, one focal point will set the tone, create a vibe and make the bold statement you’re looking for. At Creative Blinds, we are all about bringing our clients’ visions to life. Our CB Design Studio is a great place to start! While we love what window treatments can do, we don’t just stop there! You can find ideas and guidance for wallpaper and upholstery in addition to custom shades and drapery. It really does bring the entire space together. Today, we are showing off 5 ways to make a statement in room design…
The Feature Wall
Have you seen what is happening to walls in the design world? Simply gorgeous. Accent walls have always been a way to achieve dimension and a splash of color. But, today’s walls in room design have taken everything to a whole new level. From board and batten, to shapes and colors, the feature wall is full of visual interest. Want to know how to achieve this? The feature wall is the one you’re facing when you walk into a room. It’s the backdrop. From there, you’ll choose the color and characteristics you’d like to see.
The Ceiling
Sometimes referred to as “The Fifth Wall,” the ceiling is an opportunity to add elements of style to a blank slate. You might add beams to an overly high ceiling, bringing warmth to the space and tying in the room design. Crown moulding adds a touch of sophistication around the room, highlighting a quiet, but beautiful detail. Wallpaper has become a favorite for ceilings–it’s a moment of style that cloaks the room in design without overwhelming the space. The most simple option is to color drench the room–which means the ceiling gets painted in the same color as the walls, making everything feel cozy and on-point.
The Windows
We love how window coverings can be that one, really special design element. Whether you have large windows, or small windows, you have the opportunity to make a statement that enhances the style of your home. From the patterned or textured fabrics of floor to ceiling draperies, to the natural fibers of woven shades, there are so many ways to create the perfect backdrop in room design. Not only that, but you’ll also be upgrading the comfort of the room with light control, regulated temperatures and privacy. These Designer Banded Shades offer a fun, accent wall of style.
Built-in Shelving
If you’re the type of person who likes to display decor on shelves, but you also need storage to be a part of room design, consider adding a wall of built-ins! The best part about this idea is that built-in designs instantly transform a space and add beautiful style while creating function. They can go in any room, from the living room, to the dining room, and from the home office, to the bedrooms!
The Lighting
An ideal way to add instant style to a space? The lighting! You may not realize it, but just one addition of lighting can take the room design from drab to fab. If you’re staring at your space, wondering what element is missing to finish off the look, consider the lights. Many times, a chandelier in the middle of a room, or pendants across the ceiling will amp up the style. But, don’t forget about secondary lighting sources, like floor lamps or wall sconces that add ambient light and subtle design.
