Choose a Base Style for Designing Each Space and Room

Whatever style you select—minimalist, classic, rustic, contemporary, modern, eclectic, etc.—it should be felt throughout every space. This helps anyone who identifies with that style to feel comfortable with everything they see. Sometimes, just one standout element is enough to achieve this, such as choosing a specific flooring finish that reflects that style. The style can also be complemented with elements typical of the location. For example, if it’s a beach destination, you can incorporate seaside elements into the base style. A good example can be seen in the images, where we present a contemporary style with Caribbean touches.

Create a Color and Texture Palette

Main and complementary colors for surfaces, furniture, and decorative elements, along with textures (wood, metals, marble, glass, mirrors, textiles) that define the look and feel of the entire interior. This palette should flow through all spaces, creating a sense of order that envelops the entire place. Define the colors and their gradients, and dare to play with them—just keep balance and incorporate texture. Remember, implementing a palette isn’t just about furniture and surfaces; you can also integrate it through accessories in the bathroom, like handles, faucets, grilles, and hangers, where the color and finish of these objects will help complete the style you’ve previously established.

Every Detail Counts

The desire is what motivates someone who has never visited a place to want to go. This can be achieved with simple things like wanting to sit on that swing looking out the window, admiring a piece of art from a chair where you can write and have a small table for your tea, or sleeping in that cozy-looking bed. Besides creating that desire, it’s also important to consider the experience the visitor has while enjoying the space—through smell, sounds, and sensations. That’s why every detail matters. By adding them, we enhance that experience. For example, plants not only add beauty and oxygen but also help improve acoustics. Rugs, besides being distinctive design elements, also contribute to acoustics and the sense of scale and space. Pay close attention to each of these details, as they all contribute to the desire to return or recommend that special place.
