Room Design: 5 Ways to Make a Style Statement

When designing the rooms of your home, you really only need ONE exceptional element to make a statement. At Austin Window Fashions, we visit many clients around the Austin area, and we can tell you that it is true. One specific element can take the room design from ordinary to extraordinary. Don’t believe us? Just take a look at these 5 examples…

A Wall of Wow

If you haven’t seen what’s happening in the world of accent walls, you’re in for a treat. This ONE element in a room is fully responsible to taking the average space and turning it into a luxury retreat of sorts. Whether it’s shiplap, wallpaper, wainscoting or a pattern with moulding, your room design will be complete when you bring in a feature wall.

Show Off the View

Of course–we would say the windows. But, it’s true. The windows of your home add natural light and beautiful views. However, we’d like to point out that it doesn’t end there. The windows in a room can invite light and views, but the real showstopper? It’s the window coverings. Living in Texas, we need all the help we can get when it comes to blocking the intense light and heat. Our designers at Austin Window Fashions are also here to help those windows become a dynamic backdrop in your home with the right window treatments.

Let There Be (Gorgeous) Light

If you’ve ever swapped out light fixtures in your room design, you know this one can’t miss. Pendants, chandeliers, sconces…these elements offer levels of lighting for creating just the right ambiance, but they also invite stunning style. By choosing a finish in one of today’s most sought-after looks, like brass, matte black or wood, the right lighting will amp up the look of your room.

Just Look Up

The ceiling can be a blank slate that–when designed with the proper elements–takes the room design to a whole other level. Ceiling beams, coffered ceiling patterns, wallpaper, or by simply painting the ceiling the same color as the wall–these ideas are all on the list of ways to makeover your space with a dynamic focal point that won’t overwhelm the design.

Combine Style & Function

We love a good built-in shelving unit in room design. There is just something special about a wall feature that can display collections for style, while also allowing the family to tuck items away that they don’t want to show off. Built-ins have become a clever way to combine style and function in rooms, and they are popping up everywhere, from mudrooms and family rooms, to bedrooms and home offices.
