Details Make the Difference

Often the thing we avoid the most is the key to making a good project an incredible one. It is easy to paint inside the lines and make safe, timeless choices. But occasionally, stepping over the line of “safe” and “normal” is exactly what transforms a space into a memorable moment.

In these moments, we often find that our client’s are almost looking for permission to be bold and daring. As if “fitting in” is the best way to live our lives.

Allowing your space to be a truly unique and — even better — a genuine reflection of things you love, is truly what makes a house a home. It should be personal. It should be unique. It should be your retreat at the end of a busy day.

More importantly, those same unexpected details and “bold” design choices our clients are often hesitate to make, are the very same ones they gush about for years to come. Those are the elements of “home” they are the most delighted by. Those are the decisions they are proud of making.

The truth is, what feels bold and “out there” to one client is well within the comfort zone of another. In terms of creative expression and preferences, we feel no request is over the top. After all, design is deeply personal and allows you to express your inner passions and interests into a space others can see.

What most clients want, therefore, is permission to fully be themselves.

If you find yourself seeking a nod of approval from someone else to make a daring or uncommon design decision — grant yourself permission to fully express yourself and create a space you love. We promise, it’s a decision you will appreciate for years and years to come.
