With comfort at the top of mind, the homeowners decided on a plush leather recliner sofa set and chose a bold colour - volcanic orange. Due to the striking colour of the sofa, the colour palette of the rest of the living room is kept neutral and warm to complement the sofa.
One of the most important tips to mastering the use of texture is to remember to layer. Try blending multiple different sources of materials to build the textural experience of your room.
In this living room, the use of the plush rug breaks up the large space and interrupts the monotony by introducing both physical and visual texture. The coffee table placed on the rug is two-tiered, with the smaller matte metal table nestled under the longer glossy black table with wooden legs. This curated mix and match of materials is a perfect example of how the homeowners brought in a spark of textural interest as they built layers around this space.
Another way to bring in texture into your living space is to use wood panelling, similar to how the homeowners here have created a feature wall around their TV area. The slatted wall installation in a dark walnut tone keeps the area looking warm and cosy, while the vertical lines draw your eyes upwards, which gives the illusion of a higher ceiling.
Chic and refined, the wall feature not only brings so much character to the space, but is also a much more timeless option compared to splurging on trendy wallpaper that may go out of style in a few seasons.
In the open-concept kitchen, you’ll notice how the glossy black cabinets are paired with the matte wood grain of the larger floor-to-ceiling cupboards which is again a play on mixing textures which makes for a show stopping backdrop for when someone is mixing cocktails and entertaining friends. The reflective nature of the glossy black cabinets throws light and creates a sense of movement in that space.
