What are some effective strategies for incorporating unique architectural elements into interior design?

1. Contrast: One of the best ways to make unique architectural elements stand out is to create contrast. An excellent example of this is pairing modern furniture with traditional structures or vice versa. The difference will emphasize the distinctiveness of each element.

2. Highlighting: Using light fixtures and spotlighting is an excellent way to highlight architecture. A single fixture over a focal point can create an immediate visual impact.

3. Complimenting: Closely related and harmonious elements can complement each other quite well. A simple color palette or addition can tie the design elements together giving a sense of fluidity.

4. Emphasis: One of the most effective ways to draw attention to unique architectural features is to showcase it. Create a dedicated space and center your design around it.

5. Texture: Use textures and patterns that make the interior design a much more welcoming and comfortable environment. This makes the space livelier and less jumbled.

6. Scale: Large-scale architecture can be hard to soft-pedal into a design, however, when properly designed it can create a natural flair.

7. Minimalism: The fundamental principle of minimalism is to keep only what is essential. When contemplating how to incorporate unique architectural elements, this principle applies as it can provide the space needed to help demonstrate the beauty of other features.
