 Luxury interior design is not just about selecting the right furnishings, fabrics, or artwork, it’s about creating a sense of permanence, refinement, and craftsmanship that elevates a home from ordinary to extraordinary. One of the most powerful ways to achieve this transformation is through custom millwork. Whether it’s striking wall paneling, coffered ceilings, or bespoke built-in cabinetry, millwork design defines a space, enhances architecture, and brings unparalleled depth to luxury homes. In this blog, we’ll explore how millwork walls, ceilings, and built ins can reshape your interiors, offering both aesthetic beauty and functional value. If you’ve ever wondered why high end homes feel so distinct and timeless, the answer often lies in the details of architectural millwork.

Every luxury home tells a story - and often, it’s the smallest details that make the biggest impact. Among the many decisions you’ll face when designing your dream home, few are as visually defining as whether to use slabs or tiles for your surfaces. Both offer timeless beauty, durability, and sophistication, yet they speak different design languages. So, how do you decide which is right for you? The truth is, neither option is “better” - it all depends on your home’s architecture, your lifestyle, and your personal vision. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we help clients navigate this choice with confidence, ensuring every finish reflects the personality of their home.
