In a world obsessed with style, we are going to advocate a radical approach: “It’s OK not to be a slave to it!” Mixing and matching pieces you love is a completely acceptable – if not perfect – way to create your dream home. Texture is one decorating tool that can be used across multiple styles. Often texture will be the unifying theme for a home, giving the space a unique look and feel without slavishly adhering to modern or classic design rules. While texture is currently a strong interior trend – think chunky knitted throws and mohair cushions – it is also a look that has stood the test of time. Carved wooden furniture and woven rugs are not new to design, yet both are a natural fit for homes of today.
At the Hickinbotham Preston Alfresco, luxe linens, knitted wool and plush velvet combine to create a sophisticated retreat.
Layer the room with upholstery, throws, cushions and curtains to help insulate the space - and style it.
The master bedroom at the Hickinbotham Kingsborough MKII is predominantly neutral-toned, but the use of texture adds interest and depth.
Texture is used in different forms throughout the house, giving the entire home a design language.
At the Hickinbotham Kingsborough MKII, eclectic elements - bone inlayed furniture, pressed metal art and woven textures - prove not everything has to match. Keep your texture tonal and it will work.
Texture adds liveliness to a space. It makes you want to "feel" the room, making it cosy and welcoming.
Light will affect texture: direct light will enhance it, whereas diffused light will detract from it. Every texture also reflects light differently, so use shiny reflective textures where more light is needed and darker, more absorbent textures where the light level is high.
The neutral palette of this room makes it feel sophisticated while the woven textures of the art and cushions inject personality and fun.
Infants and children are constantly searching for new visual stimuli to learn more about the world. Cater for this interest by including stimulating patterns and textures in the rooms where they sleep and play.
Think creatively when it comes to children's artwork - you don't always need paint and paper.
The carved wooden entertainment unit at the Hickinbotham Greendale adds interest to the space without overwhelming the room.
Texture and pattern combine here to create a focal point. The strong blue pattern of the artwork is balanced by the simple line of furniture.
Minimal decoration is needed when pattern and texture combine. Simple jars and books are all this space need to complete the look.
