What if this detail was actually the real secret to transforming a room without disrupting everything or breaking the bank?
In decoration, as elsewhere, it is often the small details that make all the difference. In our interiors, there is precisely one that no one really pays attention to during renovation projects. When the time comes to reinvent a living room or bedroom, the imagination moves from choosing a new sofa to choosing bold wallpaper or a wall color that will hit the mark. We leaf through the magazines, we scroll through the pages of the Decoration section of the Journal des Femmes, we scan Instagram in search of that little extra that changes everything, convinced that we have thought of every nook and cranny.
However, any experienced decorator knows that the harmony of a room is not only due to the objects placed there, but also to these famous transitions, to these details which subtly unify the look. We think about dressing the ceilings with cornices, framing the windows with pretty blinds, choosing original floors… But there is a zone, discreet and linear, which plays a much greater role than it seems in the feeling of a space.
If some dare to use color, others natural materials, how many lean into… plinths? This strip between wall and floor is about to become the new fashionable creative space. By playing on their color, their height, or even their material, plinths can become the signature of a room, creating contrasts, or not. On its Instagram account, the brand of paints, wallpapers and friezes, Bilboquet Déco, unveiled a tutorial for personalizing skirting boards, capable of changing the atmosphere of a bedroom in less than 4 minutes, top time!
