The key to creating a home environment that’s both interesting and stimulating, is texture! This of course relates to the surface quality of an object, giving a look or feel that’s three-dimensional in character.
Texture changes the way a room looks and feels. A rough brick wall with cracking paint, exposed beams jutting from the ceiling, or brushed metal lamps in the corner of a room can evoke emotion, you respond to its tactile quality without even touching it. Just like how your mouth starts to anticipate the sour of a lemon before you’ve even tasted it. Your body reacts. This is why texture plays such an important role in interior design. It’s this challenge of creating an emotive space to enhance the experience of design, that motivates most interior designers and stylists.
But there’s a fine line between a harmonious texture and one that is loud or OTT. So how do you achieve the perfect balance? We collected a few images on our travels that showcase texture in action.
