How to Add the Wow Factor to Your Home

At Barclay Interiors, we believe that every home has the potential to impress and inspire. Whether you’re looking to transform a single room or refresh your entire property, adding the “wow factor” is all about attention to detail, making bold choices, and thoughtful design. Here are a few ways we bring standout features into our projects, offering ideas that can help you elevate your home.

1. Statement Pieces that Steal the Show

A room can be completely transformed with the addition of a striking statement piece. At Barclay Interiors, we specialise in creating custom-designed furniture or sourcing unique items that become the focal point of the space. Whether it’s a bespoke armchair upholstered in luxurious fabrics or a large, eye-catching mirror that reflects light and adds depth, the right statement piece can make an immediate impact and set the tone for the rest of the room.

2. Texture and Contrast for Depth

Combining a variety of materials and textures is key to creating depth and interest in a room. We often layer natural materials such as wood and stone with more refined elements like velvet, leather, or metals to add richness to our designs. Contrast adds dimension, making the room visually engaging and inviting. By carefully selecting finishes and materials, we ensure every surface feels intentional and contributes to the overall aesthetic.

3. Lighting That Sets the Mood

Lighting is not just functional—it’s a crucial design element that can shape the atmosphere of a home. Whether it’s a statement chandelier in a grand entrance hall or soft, ambient lighting in a living room, the right lighting fixtures can elevate any space. At Barclay Interiors, we consider both the architectural features of the room and the way our clients live, ensuring that lighting is both practical and beautiful, day or night.

4. Art and Accessories for Personal Style

We believe that a home should reflect the personality and tastes of the people who live there. Art, sculptures, and carefully curated accessories are excellent ways to inject personality into a space. By selecting unique, one-of-a-kind pieces—whether it’s a vintage find or a commissioned artwork—we create interiors that feel individual and distinctive.

5. Bold Colours and Patterns for Visual Impact

Using bold colours and patterns is an effective way to add impact without overwhelming the space. We often incorporate these elements in accent walls, upholstery, or statement rugs. These pops of colour or pattern inject energy and interest into a room while maintaining a sense of balance and sophistication.

6. Bespoke Joinery and Custom Design

One of the key features of our projects is bespoke joinery, allowing us to create functional yet stunning spaces tailored to each home and client’s needs. Whether it’s a custom-designed kitchen, a built-in wardrobe, or intricate woodwork in a sitting room, our bespoke designs provide a unique finish, showcasing craftsmanship and attention to detail that adds both style and substance to the space.
At Barclay Interiors, we excel at blending bold design elements with timeless elegance, creating homes that are both beautiful and practical. Whether you’re considering a full renovation or simply looking to update a room, our team is here to help you add the wow factor to your home.
