The Little Things: Small Details That Make A Big Impact
AS THE OLD SAYING GOES, “IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE THAT BRING US JOY.” THIS SENTIMENT APPLIES TO MANY ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES, BUT IT IS SO IMPORTANT WHEN IT COMES TO DESIGN.
Sometimes it’s those small minute details that really bring a room together. Maybe it’s the throw pillows on your sofa, the carefully draped duvet on your bed, or the shape of the knobs on your cabinets. These are the details that make you take a step back and say, “Ah, finally perfect!”
Studies have shown that the average person spends over a year and a half in the bathroom over the course of their life. If you ask us, a space where you spend that much time should be perfect. To achieve perfection, you must take careful consideration in those little details.
The Kohler Occasion Collection is a perfect example of exactly how easy it can be to fill in all the details of your bathroom. The Occasion is a stunning 1920s art deco inspired collection that can fit seamlessly into almost any home. From faucets to valve trims to showerheads and a full line of accessories and lighting, one decision can drive the design of your entire space!
Accessorizing provokes thoughts of functionality. Where is your towel going to go when you get out of the shower or tub? You probably don’t even think about it, but where would you be without that towel bar? In tight spaces, robe hooks also work great for your bath towel!
The coordinating pivoting paper holder fits perfectly next to the toilet, and matching cabinet pulls can finish off the look on your vanity. Additionally, electric drying racks are a dream come true. Imagine that fresh-from-the-dryer feeling every time you step out of the shower!
You can’t have a functional bathroom without good lighting!
One, two, three, and sometimes four light sconces are all typically available. Which one you choose will depend on how you need to balance the space. For example, two single light sconces on either side of a mirror offer the perfect symmetry to fill out the wall above your vanity.
Recently, Kohler started offering coordinating lighting for the whole home. Adding an Occasion flush mount light in the center of your bathroom or a chandelier over your freestanding tub can create the perfect focal point. While you’re at it, check out the options for kitchen pendants, and you can really tie together your entire home with the same coordinating look!
Sometimes it's the smallest details that are easily forgotten that truly take a design from boring to stunning! So, the next time you have a project, take the time to perfect the final details of your space. A room that truly reflects your taste and style is a gift that never stops giving.
