Little Details, Big Impact: Custom Accents to Make Your Home Pop

When it comes to building a custom home, it’s about so much more than just choosing the right floorplan. At Buffum Homes, we believe the little details are what truly transform a house into your home. Thoughtful design accents, such as trey ceilings, built-in shelving, or unique lighting fixtures, allow your vision and personality to shine in every corner of your space. These small yet impactful touches are the finishing flourishes that make a home uniquely yours.

Ideas to Inspire Your Custom Design Details

Here are some ways to incorporate eye-catching accents into your Buffum Homes build:

◦ Trey Ceilings
Add depth and dimension to your rooms with trey ceilings. Whether subtle or bold, they create a stunning focal point in spaces like the primary bedroom, dining room, or living area. Paint the inset with a contrasting color or add crown molding for an extra pop of elegance.

◦ Statement Lighting
From chandeliers in the foyer to pendant lights over the kitchen island, the right fixtures can dramatically elevate a room’s style. Buffum Homes’ preferred vendors offer a wide selection to match any aesthetic, from modern minimalism to rustic charm.

◦ Built-In Shelving or Niches
Practical and stylish, built-ins give you a place to showcase books, art, or keepsakes while keeping things organized. Add lighting to highlight special pieces or opt for custom woodwork to match your home’s overall design.

◦ Accent Walls
Create a striking backdrop with an accent wall. This could be a bold paint color, wallpaper, or even natural materials like wood or stone. Accent walls work beautifully in bedrooms, offices, or living rooms to make a statement.

◦ Unique Tile Work
Make areas like the kitchen backsplash, bathroom floors, or shower walls stand out with distinctive tile designs. Whether you choose classic subway tiles or intricate mosaic patterns, the possibilities are endless.

◦ Personalized Hardware
The right cabinet knobs, drawer pulls, and door handles can be the perfect finishing touches. Matte black for a modern look or antique brass for timeless charm—hardware is a subtle way to express your style.
