The saying ‘The devil is in the details’ (attributed to the philosopher Nietzsche) may sound like an ominous warning – but when we are considering the phrase in the context of architecture and interior design, what we mean is that even the grandest project depends on the success of the smallest components.

Creating exceptional interior spaces goes beyond mere aesthetics; it involves careful consideration of functionality, comfort, material use, and design. All these elements are brought together to create a well-considered interior solution – to use another philosopher’s quote ‘the sum is greater than the parts’.

At Millenniums, we focus on crafting spaces that not only impress but also serve their purpose effectively. By coordinating trades, materials, and finishes, and making well-informed decisions, we ensure a seamless and practical approach to interior design.

‍Here are five reasons why attention to detail is so important in interior design:

1. More Than Just Aesthetics

Interior design is not just about appearances; it's about creating spaces that function well. A successful design considers how people will use the space, ensuring it offers easy movement and practical furniture arrangement. It will take into account the context of the room – where does the sun fall? What’s the best view? All these constraints feed into making the room the best it can be.

2. Ensuring Functionality, Comfort and Usability:

Any space should allow people to use it easily and efficiently. Whether it's a kitchen designed for easy cooking and storage access, or a home office optimised for productivity, we focus on creating spaces that cater to specific needs.

Comfort is a key aspect of our designs. We aim to make spaces inviting, user-friendly, and pleasant to spend time in. This involves providing comfortable seating, adequate lighting, and well-thought-out layouts. Paying attention to every aspect of how a space will function enables you to make the right decisions.

3. Thinking About a Space 3-Dimensionally:

It might be easy to think about, for example, a floor finish – but what happens at the junction of the wall – is there a skirting board or a shadow gap? How does the skirting board meet the junction of doors or fixed furniture. You have a steel beam to conceal – but how does this tie in with the rest of the ceiling and the lighting.

A good interior designer will ensure all of these details are thought about and coordinate a full set of detailed drawings to communicate the design to the contractor and avoid having to make compromised decisions on site.

4. Coordinating the Fit-Out:

The tiny details – the switch plates, the artwork, the lighting will fall in to place once you have an overall scheme that has been well-designed. Your home should be a reflection of your personality and objects that are meaningful to you, we ensure we create the backdrop for you to add your personal touches.
