For that signature style
Incorporating a signature piece into your interior design can instantly elevate your space and make it truly unique to you. Whether it’s a bold piece of artwork, a custom piece of furniture, or a statement light fixture, a signature piece draws inspiration from your personal style, experiences, or even your favourite design style.
Choosing the right piece can feel loaded with risk, so here are some starter tips to get you in the creative mindset to approach creating your own:
Getting started
Find your inspiration
Look to the things you love—whether it’s nature, travel, or art. Inspiration can come from anywhere. A signature piece should reflect your personality and the story you want your space to tell.
Consider materials and textures
Think about the materials that resonate with your aesthetic. Whether it’s rich wood, sleek metals, or vibrant fabrics, choosing the right materials will help your piece stand out while blending with your room’s existing textures.
Play with scale
Don’t be afraid to go big! A large, statement-making sofa or oversized artwork can be the focal point that defines the room. If your space is smaller, opt for something more subtle but still striking, like a unique sculpture or intricately designed coffee table.
Blend or contrast with your existing design
If your interior is already filled with colour and pattern, a more minimalist signature piece could provide balance. Conversely, if your space is neutral, consider a bold, colourful piece to create contrast and energy.
Expand on your style
Lighting Matters
Ensure it’s well-lit to make it the star of the room.
Complementary Accents
Surround your signature piece with smaller items that complement but don’t overshadow it.
Adapt to Space
If you’re working with a large, open room, go for something expansive. In smaller areas, ensure the piece doesn't overwhelm but enhances the space.
The main this I always encourage people to remember is that creating a signature piece is about expressing a bit of yourself and in the process making your space truly yours.
Have fun with the process and let your personality shine - and you can always get in touch if you feel some guidance would be beneficial.
