Why Every Room Needs a Choice Piece

Why Every Room Needs a Choice Piece

With interior design, there is a common thread that ties the most captivating spaces together—unique decor and the use of a choice piece.

In our practice, we believe style starts the design conversation. With every style and every room, we love selecting a choice piece of unique decor to anchor and define the room’s character. Personality does indeed matter!

By focusing on a single standout element, we create rooms that are not only visually appealing but also deeply personal and unique to each client. It’s essential to discover the personal item that holds emotional significance. Such a connection ensures the space feels curated, special, and completed by the end of the design process.

A design strategy like this aims to find an exceptional element that complements other elements in a room, creating a sense of happiness and comfort.

Imagine stepping into your home, taking a deep breath in, a big breath out, and knowing you are right where you need to be by what you see—this is what a perfectly placed unique decor item can do for a space. It can set the tone for the entire decor, and we see it as a golden rule that can transform any space from ordinary to extraordinary!

Heirlooms can often point us in a specific direction and can be a source of inspiration for an entire project.

Family treasures can help us understand what resonates with our clients as the stage is being set. While aesthetics are important, a choice piece can help us consider how the piece will fit into a lifestyle. For example, opting for a stunning but uncomfortable chair may not be the wisest decision for bedtime storytelling in a child’s room.

John, our talented lead designer, has an impressive collection of antiques, unique furnishings, and art passed down from his mother. Not only did she inspire John’s creative nature and eye for interior design, but the family heirlooms also now adorn John and Kelly’s home.

Inherited items carry sentimental value, and our goal is to foster a sense of belonging with each project we do. Special family items are perfect for a choice piece. Ask John what his favorite heirloom piece of art or antique is, and you will see the smile it brings every single time!

A choice piece can elevate an entire room, infusing it with character, charm, and a sense of individuality that speaks to the personality of the home’s inhabitants.

It seems easy, right? But what exactly is a choice piece, and why is it so essential to create a memorable living space?

A choice piece is that one standout item in a room that catches the eye and sparks conversation. It could be a piece of art, a unique piece of furniture, an antique, or even a striking light fixture.

What makes it special is its ability to draw attention and set the tone for the rest of the space.

The Power of a Choice Piece

Anchoring the Space

A choice piece often serves as the focal point of a room. It anchors the space, giving it a sense of direction and purpose. For example, a beautifully crafted coffee table in the living room can become the gathering spot for conversations, subtly guiding the flow of movement and activity around it.

Expressing Personality

An extension of you is your home, and a choice piece is a perfect way to express your individuality. Whether it’s a bold painting that reflects your love for abstract art or a vintage armchair that speaks to your appreciation for a relaxed classic design, these items tell a story about who you are and how you live.

Creating Balance

In design, balance is key. A choice piece can help create visual harmony in a room. For instance, in a minimalist space, a vibrant, eclectic rug can add a touch of warmth and personality without overwhelming the simplicity of the design.

Adding Value

Unique pieces often have a timeless quality that can add value to your home. These items can be heirlooms, rare discoveries, or custom-made pieces that have or even gain value to the overall design.

“I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.”
