Textural Luxe

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.

The colour of the throw and graphic motifs of the art are unexpected yet elegant.

Texture is used in different forms throughout the house, giving the entire home a design language.

One statement piece is all you need to set the tone of the room.

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.

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.

The feel of the wool carpet adds to the coziness of the space.

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.

Wallpaper is one of the easiest ways to add texture to a room.

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.
