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 really 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 Kimbe Roden, we focus on crafting spaces that not only impress but also serve their purpose effectively. By coordinating trades, materials, finishes, and making well-informed decisions, we ensure a seamless and practical approach to interior design.
“I can only say great things about Kimble Roden Architect! Throughout the whole process of our build, from start to finish, we have experienced an extremely high level of professionalism coupled with care and compassion. Their attention to detail is second to none. Thank you, thank you !!!”
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.
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.
Have you considered how you will turn the lights on from either side of the room; is that storage piece better as a drawer or a cupboard; how are you going to accommodate your extensive collection of cookery books – these are the sort of questions we like to ask our clients to ensure their interior spaces work for them.
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.
An interior designer will be responsible for coordination of the finished scheme which will mean ensuring all trades are coordinated to ensure seamless delivery and to avoid abortive work. In order to achieve this Kimble Roden produce a full set of all construction and detail drawings.
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, at a Kimble Roden we ensure we create the backdrop for you to add your personal touches.
Kimble Roden have vast experience in interior design and can ensure all the details come together to create a cohesive, functional and beautiful space. By paying attention to all the elements of the space we can help you create a gorgeous interior that works and you will love to spend time in.
