Although one of the most important elements of interior design, texture can often be overlooked when styling homes and living areas, however by layering textiles, fixtures and fittings with varied feels and finishes, you can dramatically enhance the visual interest of any space.

STATEMENT PIECES
Along with selecting the right colour palette and carefully considered lighting, well chosen pieces can add depth and dimension, create a more sensory experience, and elevate your interior aesthetic.
To add visual weight and create a bold focal point, choose statement pieces with strongly defined textures, such as the Jadore Freestanding Stone Bath with its deep, classical ridges, or the striking Maddox Freestanding Stone Bath with its modern parallel grooves.
For a pared down approach, opt for pieces with elegant detailing as seen on our recently launched Couture vanity unit collection, which features sophisticated fluting across all cabinet doors. Alternatively, to incorporate texture as well as the unique pattern and feel of marble, the Perlato Countertop Basin is carved from smooth Arabescato or Carrara marble with deep, circular ridges, making it a timeless investment piece.

CREATIVE SURFACES
Captivating surfaces are a key interior trend for 2023, which can be achieved with heavy wallpapers and specialist paint. Textured finishes such as faux fabric, plaster and concrete can create visual interest, and provide a focal point or subtle backdrop for statement furniture.
Luxe tiling can also add depth across walls and floors. For a handcrafted feel, the rough grain of travertine creates a clever contrast with smooth stone fixtures, beautifully exemplified by our Romano Fluted Mosaic Tiles. If you prefer the classic tones and unique patterns of traditional marble, fluted tiles crafted from flawless Carrara can also instantly add charm and character to a living space.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Incorporating hardware and home accessories made from varied materials is one of the easiest ways to incorporate texture within your interiors. Offering both style and practicality, our door furniture collection features intricate details for a timeless aesthetic and improved grip, including Dali designs with concave fluting, Eton cabinet knobs with concentric rings, and our knurled range inspired by the diamond detailing found in luxury motorcars.
Soft furnishing accents in contrasting fabrics such as leather, velvet, linen, suede and boucle can also create a more tactile look and feel, along with layered lighting that accentuates the varied materials and finishes across a space.
