1. Layer Different Textures
The secret to a rich and deep room design lies in mastering layering. Mixing different textures of upholstery, fabrics, and plants in a room not only enhances the look, but also adds a touch of luxury. If your home contains a lot of monochromatic colours and not many patterns, try adding interest by placing a few textures next to each other on the wall - the multi-dimensional result will be immediately visible and create an intriguing visual. Here, various design ideas can help to optimally arrange the room.
2. Add Textured Furniture
Texture on furniture is not to be missed. Especially as you have a such intimate contact with it. Either it is a desk chair made out of rattan, or a cool marble table with naturally-formed little cracks and veining – all furniture has an immense opportunity to add both visual and tactile appeal.
3. Play with textured Home Accessories
Textured vases, storage boxes, plates, sculptures, trays, - even clocks can also add a wonderful sense of textural interest to a room. Our tip is to purposefully create an arrangement of objets with alternating and editing various textures to make a statement in your home. However, it is important to select textures that are sympathetic to one another, to avoid having too many textures that might clash together.
4. Decorate with Plants and Flowers
The difference in form, petal and leaf shape, height, colour and vessel all produce a textural effect on a room’s decoration. Try to choose the blooms or plants that link to other textures in the space, such as the glossy verdant leaves of an oversized palm linking to lacquered, strong-lined furniture. Our tip: make sure any vases match an existing texture in the room as well, such as upholstery on the sofa or textured lamp base.
5. Light it up
Lighting is another feature in the room with a possible texture aspect. The look and feel of the lamp itself might play a significant role in providing texture. A high-polished chrome floor lamp adds a very different texture to a hammered bronze ceiling light, example. But it is the rays of light themselves where texture takes on a more visual character, so think different fabrics, materials when choosing shades as well.
To create your own personal living ambience, it is worth exploring different furnishing styles in more detail and discovering your own preferences in the process.
