The Beauty of Detail

When we walk into a room, why do we find it beautiful? Is it the texture of a wall, the exquisite wood and design of the furniture, the patterns in carpets and upholstery or the understated floors and ceilings?

For me the beauty of the rooms at Towerwater is a culmination of handmade detail. The furniture, carpets, lamps, floor tiles, ceilings and even the plaster on the walls are handmade which all rest easy on the eye. One is never conscious of the separate detail in a room but more the harmony of the sum of it.

The need to understand and the pursuit of beauty are as old as the human race itself. In 1753 William Hogarth published his book The Analysis of Beauty in which he describes his theories of visual beauty and grace in a way that was accessible to the common man of his day.

Hogarth had six principles, which independently affect beauty. Apart from an academic discussion of what beauty is there is the understanding of what is beautiful to each individual.

At Towerwater we follow the rules of simple and classic design when we add to the layers of a room. Quality workmanship and products will always enhance the beauty of a space.

I like simple lines and functional beauty and will always fill my life with it. When I walk into a room one item can spoil the complete effect but when the sum of a room comes together to form a harmonious space true beauty has been achieved.

The detail that we introduce to Towerwater is what makes it special and some of it has been collected over years and when it came together at Towerwater it was as if an intricate puzzle fell into place.

Beauty is more than visual it is a sense of space that comes from inside and when it is in harmony with the universe it cannot be anything but perfect.
