Like the subtle zing or aroma that lights up your favorite culinary dish, incorporating an element of texture into your room might rightly be considered as one of the key ingredients in creating a trendy space.
Adding texture to various rooms in the home is hardly a new idea for interior designers of course, but right now the creation of a textured wall is totally on trend, and word is this approach won’t be going out of style anytime soon. In fact, whether you desire a more minimalist look, a warm rustic space, or anything in between – adding a bit of texture to your room is one of the most powerful tricks you can use to finish off your room in style.
WHAT DOES USING TEXTURE IN INTERIOR DESIGN MEAN?
Generally, texture refers to the surface quality of a material, especially in those that stand out from they are surrounded by. Texture can come from an extensive assortment of sources – a printed tile pattern in your kitchen perhaps, to a soft woollen throw on your living room sofa.
While it may be a second thought in terms of a room’s functionality, it’s still vital to the success of the finished design. It will aid the determination of the mood, feeling and atmosphere of your room, and will go a long way in generating depth and warmth within your space.
WHY ADD TEXTURE TO WALLS?
While smaller items like rugs and throws, soft furnishings and furniture will add additional texture to most rooms in the home, in spaces where additional furnishings aren’t as commonly applied, such as kitchens, bathrooms or hallways, visually enhancement becomes more difficult. Harder surfaces abound and so creating a layered quality to your spaces might be a bit more challenging.
If you are fortunate enough to have architectural features like vintage cornicing, chair rails, and panelling in your home, these can be a great start in giving any room visual interest and texture. However, if your space has less in the way of these supplementary details, adding them by way of brick, wood and tiles is a perfect way to presnt a more style.
