Curated Corners: The Art of Designing Intimate Spaces by KMI
Beyond grand rooms, true design shines in the smallest details. Discover how KMI crafts intimate corners that add layers of charm, character, and quiet sophistication to any home.
The KMI Approach to Curated Corners: Intentional Vignettes
For KMI, a curated corner is a micro-environment, designed with as much intention as an entire room. These intimate spaces are vital because they:
Add Depth & Character: They break monotony and introduce layers of visual interest.
Foster Moments of Respite: They provide a dedicated spot for quiet reflection, reading, or simply enjoying a beautiful view.
Enhance Functionality: From a practical landing zone to a sophisticated entertaining station, every element serves a purpose.
Reflect Personal Style: These are ideal areas to showcase cherished objects, art, or unique textures, making a house truly feel like home.

Crafting Your Own Curated Corners
Inspired by KMI's bespoke approach? Here are some insights for designing your own intimate spaces:
Identify Opportunity: Look for underutilized areas – a quiet wall, a neglected hallway corner, the space beside a fireplace, or a simple window recess.
Define Its Purpose: Decide if the corner is for functionality (a charging station, a drop zone), comfort (a reading nook), or purely aesthetic display (an art vignette).
Layer with Intention: Begin with a foundation (a small table, a chair, a rug). Then, layer in lighting (table lamp, sconce), art, and a few carefully selected decorative objects that tell a story or add texture. Remember, less is often more for a sophisticated feel.
