Yet so often when it comes to design, we stress about the big picture and forget to take a look at the little things. In fact, it’s the little things that help us put our own stamp on a space. Today we highlight the power of unique decorating details in every room of the home. Unexpected Touches Some of my favorite rooms of all time make special use of unexpected touches–those details that catch you off guard with their powerful qualities. Take the space below by Diego Alejandro Design. A gallery-style wall filled with vivid images is undeniably striking, especially since a monochromatic look is achieved with the use of white frames and mats. The artwork is unified, even though a wide range of colors and looks are represented: Speaking of gallery-style spaces, the living room below features an array of artwork, but that’s just the beginning. Note how the art hangs from the ceiling to the floor, incorporating unusual details like wall-mounted greenery Sometimes the unexpected details can be used to repeat a color scheme, as shown in our next featured space. Note how shades of orange and green appear on special touches such as artwork and flowers. The room’s pillows and rug also help to reinforce the color scheme.

Hot pink pillows and bar stools are extremely eye-catching, as is the room’s geometric rug. And we can’t forget the floral arrangements that rest on the dining table and kitchen bar.

Ample seating and a transparent room divider also create the vibe of a commercial space, yet comfy details like throw pillows ensure that this interior truly feels like home. [from WXY Architecture + Urban Design] Never underestimate the appeal of an interesting throw pillow collection! And that’s not the only thing going for the living space below… A woodland-themed wall mural is an earthy backdrop to powerful pops of color. [from Desire to Inspire] Layering patterns is an effective way to add interest and depth to a space. This living area incorporates pillows, seating and a throw, all featuring a different print. Then there’s the addition of stunning branch-themed wall art. Neutral tones dominate the space, but there’s certainly no lack of variety… [from Ian Stallings]
