Interior design is about more than just making a place look aesthetically pleasing. It’s also about making sufficient use of the space, setting a mood and transforming the lives of people who spend time in the space. The best way to ensure an interior transforms someone’s life is to add personal touches, making the space completely unique to an individual. To make a space unique, it’s the small details which are vital. Think accessories, wall art and of course, lighting! In this blog, we take a look at how you can craft a personalised interior, to showcase your character!

Add Accessories
The easiest way to add a personal touch into your interior is through accessories. Whether that’s by adding cosy cushions to your sofa, a circular mirror above your sink, or a giraffe in your dining room! It’s essential to incorporate accessories which mean something to you, but it is also vital to keep your interior scheme and colours in mind when picking your accessories.

The accessories in your interior give the room its personality, showcase items which mean something to you. For example, if you enjoy being outside, add some greenery to reflect this. A number of our handcrafted industrial lights were embedded into this wooden beam in this kitchen décor to create something absolutely stunning!
Showcase Travel Mementos
Travel broadens the mind, whether you’ve visited all 195 countries in the world, or just a handful, being reminded of your adventures by being at home allows you to add a personal touch! There are a number of ways you can display your travel memories in creative ways. The first most obvious way is displaying your holiday photos in a feature wall; organise images in a creative way, you could even pick up some wall prints to go alongside!
