​DESIGNING TO FIT THE VISION​
​

Eye Candy!

4/14/2018

We can all probably agree that it’s the accents, the focus elements and the unique twists that get our attention ‑ at first!   Color combinations you might not have guessed would go perfectly together, or the way a vintage component fits right in with a complementary contemporary design are signs of the professional touch: knowing how to accent without over-kill!
 
“Eye candy” is great when it does the job of introducing, accenting, balancing or coordinating appropriate Interior design that successfully represents the client’s vision.  In fact, those interesting accents are often the subtle glue that ties other elements together.  Tastefully selected and conservatively implemented, a special element, material or color can provide connection between various areas of a facility, home or professional practice.
 
Trouble happens with just too much of a good thing!  When it may get out of hand, and the eye candy becomes a distraction to the overall Interior design goals, rather than a subtle connector, it can be as much of a flop as good music played too loud or too much sugar spoiling a perfect cup of coffee.   You have to know when enough is enough!

Tastefully executed, magnificent “Eye Candy” will make your Interior environment unforgettable!
​Understanding accent elements and their purpose in a carefully balanced Interior environment design and plan is quite important.   Coordinated with a marketing plan, appropriate Interior design takes careful consideration to promote the company product or service in ways that reinforce the message but don’t inadvertently distract.   Gimmicks, repetitive audio, annoying moving elements and other wrong choices can make an impression backfire!
 
The expression “Eye Candy” suggests something delightful, attractive, pleasing to see and enjoy.   Your professional Interior Design Team is skilled (and enthusiastic) concerning ways to take an interior design vision and theme, develop it tastefully and appropriately and include elements that specifically attract attention and provide continuity.
 
When re-doing or refreshing your home or business Interior environment as a personal project, keep in mind the difference between conservatively and tastefully repeating an accent color, material or element and over-using to the point of distracting from your desired impression in your overall Interior environment. 
 
Choosing a specific color or feature solely for the purpose of drawing the eye, connecting different aspects in a whole room or area, or punctuating for contrast doesn’t mean that it should be so “quantified” that it upstages and overwhelms.  
 
Accessorizing is a skill!   When in doubt, ask an expert for some guidance.   (Most professionals are willing to point you in the right direction at little or no cost!)  With eye candy – like real candy – a little goes a long way, and more often than not, less is more!
