Design Like the Pros, It’s in the Details
Written by faith | 0Most often my interior design clients in Seattle share a magazine photo of a room that inspires them. Frequently pages torn from various magazines are clipped together or combined in a file folder. I am overjoyed!

We review and point to ideas and examples they completely love. Often, there are some constraints so we can’t duplicate the exact same thing. The style of their home may be different or the room size is larger or considerably smaller. Other things like the budget might get in the way. Whatever the impediment, I always try to discover the feeling they want to capture.

To uncover the secret to fine interior design requires analyzing the little things. A look at the current Elle Décor or Veranda reveals that successful designers combine unexpected textures, fresh color schemes and diverse style elements to create distinctive arrangements.
John Saladino, 'layered textures', Veranda
A memorable room isn’t about spending a huge amount of money, but rather selecting the best blend of furnishings. Designers are adept at scale and pay attention to size. We’ve all seen a chair too large for the room dominate and destroy the appearance of an otherwise well-designed room.
Another detail you can observe in magazines is a combination of styles that removes a ‘matched’ up furniture look. ‘Design is in the details’ is a common phrase spoken by interior designers. Practice patience knowing careful observations of the smallest elements of a photograph provide a road-map to a room like a design pro.
