Why softer detailing is shaping modern interiors

Interior detailing is becoming more expressive. Once treated as background elements, skirtings, architraves and door jambs are increasingly recognised as part of a project’s overall design language.

This shift frames the launch of Nova Vita® by Intrim Group, described as Australia’s first soft-curve flush finish skirting and door jamb system. The collection responds to a growing preference for interiors that retain clean lines while feeling warmer, calmer and more tactile.

For years, shadowline systems have defined many contemporary interiors through crisp geometry and recessed junctions. But as homes and hospitality spaces move toward softer forms, natural materials and calmer atmospheres, designers are rethinking how these details shape the experience of a room.

Nova Vita® introduces a curved transition in place of sharper shadowline edges. It is a subtle shift, but one that changes how surfaces meet and how light moves across them. The result is a flush finish system that feels gentler and more resolved.

The collection aligns with broader trends across coastal, Scandinavian and soft contemporary interiors, where rounded forms, quieter palettes and tactile materials are replacing harder minimalism.

Its significance also lies in placement. Skirting and door jamb systems sit at the meeting point of wall, floor and opening, repeated throughout a project. When carefully considered, they bring rhythm, cohesion and consistency to the interior.

Available in multiple profiles with coordinating jamb systems, Nova Vita® offers designers another language of detailing, one that balances precision with warmth.

For Intrim Group, the launch reflects a wider change in specification: even the smallest transitions now carry architectural weight.
