Texture
Texture is another important element to take into consideration when decorating a space because texture adds both visual and tactile interest. Texture can stimulate emotions, create a feeling of warmth and harmony and can provide sensual pleasure.
Textures can be found in the flooring, area rugs, walls, fabrics, draperies, furnishings etc. Visual texture may be seen in paint, wood furnishings, certain fabrics (such as smooth or satiny looking fabrics or rough or course fabrics). Tactile textures stimulate your sense of touch depending on materials used (for example leathers, silks, burlap, velvet's, chenille, etc. all have a different sense of touch). Textures can be rough or smooth, hard or soft, course or fine, shiny or flat, etc. When pulling together a decorating plan, it is ideal to create a design board in advance with the various textures you wish to use to see how the combinations will work together. Using the same texture throughout an entire room can be boring. A mix if textures can help to bring a room to lie. Textures can be combined in many different ways and it is ideal to use a variety and combination of textures when decorating to add excitement and interest and to bring together the desired look and feel for the room, however, don't overdo it. An example of how textures can be combined is by taking a sofa that is upholstered in richly patterned damask fabric and adding a few cushions of varying materials (possibly a couple of damask cushions combined with a couple of velvet cushions and one chenille cushion). A mixture of hard fabrics (such as leather) with soft fabrics (such as chenille, linen or cotton) can also work well even if the soft fabrics only appear in cushions and pillows. |
