Layering Your Interiors With Textures

There are two aspects to any material palette: a tonal palette and a textural palette. Imagine an ambience dripping in colour but missing in textures and patterns. No matter how rich and robust the colour quotient is, it will be considered a lacklustre design! Textural palettes are an essential cue to designing a tasteful home because they lend spatial depth and a layered context to any interiors.

In this blog, we will learn how to visualise interior design ideas in terms of texture:

Ground Beneath The Feet
The floor lays the foundation of everything else we build on, and its design should never be left as an afterthought. People usually opt for textured floors in areas where they socialise, sit down or dine. Popular flooring options include hardwood, vinyl, cork, natural stone, tile and carpet flooring. Consider how you would like the ground beneath your feet to look: smooth with a marblesque sheen, honed like natural stone, or gravelly like terrazzo?

Counter Question?
Complement your floor’s textures with contrasting kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity tops and other surfaces across the household. Apart from the universal corian, marble and quartz slabs, you can also choose from soapstone, acrylic, laminated and even butcher blocks!

A common pitfall that many homeowners make is that they tend to opt for one universal slab design across every surface in the household. In contrast, we recommend that you play around with different types.

Display Walls
Nothing screams mediocrity more than matte-finish walls with solid colour wall paints. India has a history of monumental, maximalist walls to borrow from—textured colours, wallpapering, cladding, inlays, murals, ornamental screens, and so much more! Nothing adds more depth and dimension to a living space than textured walls. It even justifies the most colour-averse, monochromatic, staid home decorator.

Fantastic Fabrics
Your final touch is your drapes and furnishings. From sheer curtains, furry rugs, and leathery chair back supports, every fabric you add as a finishing touch adds a tactile dimension to your room and personality to your home interior design.

Layering your decor with textures can help to create focal points, add visual interest, and ultimately make a home a cosy nest!
