Sparkle and Shine
It’s not every day that people ask for a shiny home. Glitz and glamour aren’t really what our clients request when we ask them about their design style. Honestly, it’s not something that easily flows into the conversation. Can you imagine…. “Oh, I love Spanish style colors, tufted furniture, and oh…glitter everywhere.” No, it doesn’t ever happen.
But the truth of the matter is, that on some level we all love a little luster in our lives. From the silky fabrics, high sheen walls or silver hardware and lighting fixtures, the “shiny” home pieces actually help make a room more comforting and help tie the room together. Think about it in your own home design. We can imagine a sparkling piece is surely somewhere.
Now, imagine taking it to the next level. Adding a tiny bit more sparkle. Imagine how well-appointed the room would feel then. Thus, why the design world welcomes luxury with open arms and why we feel glitz and glamour in accent pieces and furniture sometimes are just what a space needs.
To add a little more sparkle into your home, try these few pieces below. Hand chosen by our designers, these pieces truly are magnificently designed and will be stunning in any room design that needs a little more luster.
This Balmoral Graphite Leather on the Sheldon Recliner by Vanguard Furniture makes this piece pop and provides a little shine to the otherwise neutral room. Choose to use the leather for sitting room recliners like they did here or make a bigger statement by placing it on a living room sofa or as the upholstery for unmistakable dining room chairs.
Quilted for lush texture and added warmth, this chic Spencer Coverlet from Orchids Lux Home is a favorite of ours for masters and guest rooms alike. The velvet front has the perfect shine to liven any room a bit more without overwhelming the eye. In seven different hues, it’s easy to find one to fit your design style.
These Giselle Spot Tables by Vanguard Furniture are some of the most versatile tables around. Finished here with Artic Trace, Iced Shadow, Gilded Ray, and Gray Wisp, these pedestal tables are the perfect addition as an end table, plant stand, night stand, or entry-way console table.
Absolutely stunning in design, this Nilo Metallic Wall Covering from Kravet, Inc. will surely make any room shine. Either in gold shown below or a silver hue, use the pattern on an accent wall you want to drench with love or in a powder room or foyer for a more concentrated, dramatic look.
While the Apartment Sofa from Lee Industries is beautiful in itself, it’s the Marco Jade Cotton fabric and the small French gold nails that speak in this design. The deep, rich tones and textures add depth and a sense of luxury to the sofa we can’t forget.
Any one of these pieces or fabrics will truly ignite the design flare in a room. Give it a try in your own home and see how the overall room ambiance can change with a little more sparkle and shine.
