Most of the judges have lived through big renovations themselves, and so know the heartache and heartfelt decisions that go into them. They agreed that the most memorable homes aren’t defined by a single statement piece, but by the hundreds of thoughtful choices you make along the way, all shaping how a space looks, feels and functions. It’s the weight of a window handle in your hand, the richness of the timber beneath your feet, the shadow line created by a moulding, or the softly irregular edge of a tile<\/a> that all add up to create an interior with genuine depth and personality.<\/p>\n

This year’s Style Awards<\/a> winners celebrate those often-overlooked elements that elevate a renovation. These are the products that designers obsess over because they understand that the smallest details often have the biggest impact. Hardware has become jewellery for the home, flooring introduces warmth and atmosphere from the ground up, while architectural mouldings and beautifully crafted tiles bring texture and rhythm. Your next renovation starts here.<\/p>\n

When we\u2019re considering which houses make it into Livingetc and which ones don\u2019t, it often comes down to the detail. Has the designer focused on the right edges? The perfect plug sockets? And what about the window furniture?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is where Corston Architectural Detail comes in, the brand that takes the everyday like pull handles for windows (see also plug sockets) and elevates them into a design feature in their own right. “So satisfying to hold, but even more satisfying to look at,” says global editor in chief Sarah Spiteri.<\/p>\n

Our love for organic edges continues to endure \u2014 and that\u2019s particularly true of
the Enso tile collection by Ca\u2019 Pietra, which comes ready weathered, its irregular edges seemingly already loved for years.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the sort of design that makes everything around it more characterful, adding bags of charm to a new project. “These tiles are so soft and pretty,\u2019 says Hugh Metcalf, editor of Livingetc.com. “I love how individual each one is.”<\/p>\n

Finishing touch: Kate moulding by Kate Guinness x Camilla Hampton<\/p>\n

Inspired by the crenellated edge of a bedside table that Kate Guinness designed, this moulding \u2014 in collaboration with Camilla Hampton \u2014 is really so versatile. In a choice of covetable colours, use to add flair to the edge of a shelf, run around a door frame or demarcate a niche.<\/p>\n

“It takes imagination to create something that can be used in this many ways,” says editor Pip Rich.<\/p>\n

There are real subtleties in the new real wood floors by Ted Todd. Harlington mixes rich brown tones with gentle greys, balancing richness and warmth; Chatsworth features golden yellow hues teamed with warm tan-browns for a classic wood floor feel; and Appleby has trend-driven terracotta against a red-brown brick undertone.<\/p>\n

“They all make statements but not loudly, so you can live with them for a long time,” says interiors editor Emma Breislin.<\/p>\n
