When designing the interior spaces within your new Sarasota condo, focusing on the small details is often as important as the big picture. It’s the little details that help homeowners who are lucky enough to enjoy dramatic water and city views, to add the “wow” factor. Remember, there’s no real right or wrong when it comes to personal style, as every interior design should be as unique as the individual who calls it home.

BLVD Sarasota’s expansive open floor plans and incredible views will get your imagination stirring.

Here’s a guide with a few simple tips to consider when you’re ready to incorporate your style into your personal space:

Neutrals, Neutrals Everywhere
One way to get everything to work together is to use a color scheme in the same color family. You can see in this that the greys, creams and whites set the backdrop to showcase the blue skies and the colors of the Sarasota Bay waters. Neutrals are the best way to pull the design theme together, no matter what style you choose to decorate it in.

Keep It Simple
The beautiful thing about interior design is that it doesn’t need anything big or dramatic. Much as neutrals serve to draw attention to the shape of the space without taking away from it, furniture in simple shapes accentuates a room without drawing all of the attention to one piece. Consider pieces made with natural materials in darker colors to complement previously mentioned neutrals, and to make an expanded space feel even larger.

It’s All In The Materials
The best way to create drama in a room is to introduce natural materials. Dark woods and stones like slate make for a conversation piece-most people don’t expect to find materials such as marble or quartz utilized as part of daily life, which makes them stand out when encountered. Popular design trends today include white marble contrasted against gold or located in an unusual spot, such as a table or a countertop. Dramatic powder rooms and bathrooms become a memory point for your guests with the incorporation of marble bathtubs. Add panache by making a statement with unique vessel sinks, innovative fixtures and dimensional wall coverings.

Accent with Authenticity and Art
One of the best inspirations for a residence can be the world around it. Architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and room designers such as Michael S. Smith have been known to incorporate art into their works, with great success. A wall piece bought from a local artist can serve as an accent piece for a room designed around the color scheme of the blue waters below. A sculpture bought at the Rosemary Indie Craft Fair can be the centerpiece in another room by contrasting the color of the sculpture and the color themes. Inspiration for style can be taken from anywhere. Whether incorporating a design aesthetic taken from the colors, shapes, or even sounds that you can find right in front of you, it’s simple and enjoyable to make a space that is uniquely you from everything around you.
