The texture is the key to any successful interior design. While color, pattern, and proportion are also important, a room devoid of textural contrasts is simply boring. Read on to learn how you can mix textures to create a room full of interest and depth.
Texture, while it has always been an important element of design, has really taken the forefront in trendy home interiors over the past several years. The juxtaposition of varied textures creates interest and depth on a new level, and it really isn’t difficult to achieve.
The key to successfully mixing textures is to look for items from different categories including rough and rustic, smooth and satiny, and metallic. For example, if your room contains a rustic stone fireplace, such as the one in the photo below, consider contrasting the fireplace with a smooth leather sofa and woven window treatments. The textural mix could even be taken a step further by the introduction of a mirrored side table or shiny glass vase on the mantle.
