Luxury design extends well beyond the right furniture and color palette; it comes down to the details that tie it all together. At Auer Design Hause, the finishing touches are emphasized just as much as the larger picture-planning phase. For example, a dining room tablescape can elevate the shared design experience, adding a layer of elegance and sophistication. Well curated details can have a great impact on the end result. Opting in for fine china, crystal or hand-blown glassware, quality flatware and textured linens can upgrade the space further. Another key component is lighting. A mixture of overhead, accent and ambient lighting used independently or in conjunction with each other, can change the mood of a room. Taper candles are a great way to create a welcoming atmosphere, where chandeliers can be made to light the space in a dramatic way.
Key details can be observed in the more permanent elements of a room, such as drapery and upholstery. The selection of premium upholstery materials and elegantly weighted drapery fabrics contributes significantly to an overall sense of luxury. The addition of texture comes from layered artwork displayed against a grasscloth wall covering. Every detail should reflect the personalities of those who inhabit the space, adding a distinct touch that enriches the overall design aesthetic. By emphasizing these finishing elements, you can elevate your dining room into a luxurious environment that is both visually captivating and warm. This meticulous attention to detail will create unforgettable dining experiences for you and your guests.
Another critical factor influencing the atmosphere of a room is scale. While a space may showcase exquisite textures, patterns and materials, improper scaling can lead to a cluttered appearance, causing important details to be overlooked. Ultimately, the cornerstone of effective design is functionality; if a room does not serve its intended purpose, the aesthetic appeal becomes irrelevant. Choosing pieces that serve a purpose, are in the correct scale and play into the palette will result in a room that reflects the intended atmosphere and function.
