At Avec Interiors, we believe in the transformative power of high-quality materials. Down to metal accents and tilework, each design element and material plays a unique role in curating the ambiance of your interior space. Adding personality and charm, finishing materials like tiles, beams, and flooring work cohesively to tie together your personalized dream space.
As we delve into the capabilities of finishing materials, learn how flooring, tiles, and lighting can elevate your space, adding both functional value and visual appeal.
As the foundation of your design, flooring subtly sets the stage for your interior’s look and feel, influencing color schemes, textures, and decor flow. With ever-expanding options, choose from faux or natural materials like European oak, reclaimed wood, and engineered hardwood, depending on your style, cost, and durability preferences. For an easier-to-maintain, budget-friendly alternative, consider waterproof laminate flooring that mimics natural wood, or wood-look porcelain tiles, which offer the aesthetic appeal of hardwood combined with the durability and ease of tile. These options deliver style and practicality without sacrificing design quality.
In addition to flooring, other wooden design elements, such as beams, hold transformative power, adding architectural focal points and establishing a connection to the outdoors. Faux box beams, a cost-effective alternative to authentic wood beams, add dimension and a comforting ambiance while complementing various design styles, from modern to farmhouse. For a refined and one-of-a-kid look, we partner with local millworkers and beam fabricators to create pieces designed precisely for you and your space.
In the world of design, tiling holds the power of versatility. From backsplashes to flooring and more, tiles serve several functional purposes and add aesthetic appeal. Seamlessly blending form and function, design-centric tiles infuse artistry into our spaces. A current trending design style, terracotta, adds distinctive charm and color while livening floors, backsplashes, and more. At Avec Interiors, we work with local artisans specializing in hard-to-source, unique tiles, ranging from simple, beautiful colors to exquisite hand-painted terracotta, inviting truly one-of-a-kind stories into our spaces.
Each type of tile, from ceramic to porcelain to hand-painted terracotta tiles, has unique characteristics that make it suitable for different applications and spaces. For example, ceramic porcelain tiles are denser and more water-resistant, making them perfect for high-traffic areas. With their artistic flair, hand-painted terracotta tiles can be best suited for decorative accents like backsplashes or feature walls.
Beyond functional appeal, decorative lighting adds visual interest, creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyday living and entertaining. Though often overlooked, design-centric fixtures not only brighten your space but enhance aesthetics. Design-forward lighting brands offer a wide variety of stylish, high-quality lighting, from modern to coastal to rustic styles. At Avec Interiors, we work with these vendors to elevate your space, choosing pieces that reflect your design preferences and complement your furnishings and accents.
When choosing decorative lighting, it’s crucial to consider the levels of light and how they will interact within your space. Strategically layering ambient, task, and accent lighting adds dimension and caters to your changing functional needs. Don’t be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone. For instance, incorporating a statement pendant light along a with soft floor lamp for reading adds visual interest and yet still serves a practical purpose.
In the realm of interior design, every material and fixture, from backsplashes to lighting to artwork, works in harmony to create a balanced space. Finishing materials, such as flooring, tiling, and light fixtures, play a pivotal role in this, blending functionality and style to elevate your space. When selecting finishing materials, it’s important to consider functionality, durability, and stylistic preferences.
