Architectural Details

When designing interiors, aside from examining the space, learning about the client’s taste, needs, and lifestyle, and before creating a furniture and lighting plan- adding architectural details to the space creates elegance, even in an empty room! I love trim work; it adds depth, texture, richness and sophistication to any space.

I would like to share with you some inspirational images... showcasing the collaboration between the architects and the interior designers. What do you think? Which one is your favorite?
