Designing for Small Spaces

Finding Inspiration at

Perry Lane Hotel

Travel has always been a delightful journey for me, not just for the destinations but for the captivating designs I encounter along the way. I find joy in exploring how people live, the layouts of different cities, and the unique interiors that tell their own stories. Today, let's take a closer look at the Perry Lane Hotel in beautiful Savannah, where we'll discover design ideas that can easily be incorporated into your own home.

The Magic of Molding and Colors

Let's start with the guest rooms, where we're immediately drawn to the rich blue paint on the walls. This choice creates a cozy yet elegant atmosphere that sets the stage for an inviting stay. What really caught my eye is how they played with molding. They used a high chair-molding cleverly to mimic a more substantial crown molding, giving the room a timeless touch. To add to the charm, two layers of delicate moldings grace the ceiling, creating a fresh take on traditional crown molding. And let's not forget the icing on the cake – painting the ceiling the same rich color as the walls, tying everything together beautifully. (See more on the interesting Perry Lane moldings in my next blog post.) If you like this color pallet, consider trying Hale Navy from Benjamin Moore or Needlepoint Navy from Sherwin Williams for a beautiful accent color.

TV Space Luxury

Now, let's talk about the TV area. It's all about the details here. They've added leather upholstery behind the TV, which not only looks luxurious but also serves a practical purpose. Molding once again takes the spotlight, framing the TV with sophistication and adding that extra touch of elegance. In small-space living, it's these little design elements that truly make a difference.

Perfectly Scaled Furniture

When designing for a small space, it's all about getting the proportions right. Take the guest room's furniture, for example. The curved sofa offers a cozy spot for lounging and accommodates more than one person comfortably. An ottoman serves as a coffee table with the addition of a tray, and the cocktail table is just the right size for a drink or two. To ground the space, a thoughtfully sized rug anchors it all, creating a harmonious layout.

Smart Bathroom Space Solutions

Lastly, let's peek into the bathroom. They've expanded the wall to create a convenient ledge, a clever move for those tight on space. This ledge offers extra surface area for your daily routine or a few decorative touches. If you're mindful of keeping things clutter-free, it's a fantastic addition that can be stylishly organized.

In a nutshell, Perry Lane Hotel in Savannah showcases design ideas that enhance both form and function without sacrificing style. From creative molding to rich color palettes and perfectly scaled furniture, these design elements can easily find a place in your own home, adding a touch of elegance and practicality.
