DETAILS
The Lucia tub by Fleurco comes in Matte Black or White, but you can choose the perfect metal trim to match your bath.
IN THE DETAILS PERKS OF FORM AND FUNCTION THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
T he old saying may insist that the devil is in the details, but delight can be found in the details as well. Of course, one must start by consider- ing the major defining aspects of any purchase for your home: Is it the right size for your space? Does it complement your stylistic vision? Will you still love that color once you’ve seen it every day for a year? But it is often the details that deliver the most lasting re- turn on investment: how your kitchen faucet handle curving upward just so makes you smile even when facing a sink full of dishes; the way it is just a little bit easier to straighten up the powder room in a hurry for surprise guests because you chose those extra deep cabinets.

These details may be part of how an object appears, whether it’s the shine of tub trim carefully coordinated with faucet finish (pictured, above) or the way a shower floor blends seamlessly to preserve a sense of space in what is so often the smallest room. Alternately, you might find your bliss in the purposeful particulars about an object—a shower wall equipped with alcoves so you’re never stuck searching for shampoo or a disposal with 1.25 horsepower that purrs softly as a kitten. So we’ve gathered some of our favorite designs for the home and highlighted a few of the details that make them special—in the hopes that one of them might turn out to be the choice that makes you smile every time. ■
