Feel the difference: 5 ways to enhance interiors with texture and tone
When designing a space, texture is often the unsung hero, quietly transforming the feel of a room while complementing its tone. Whether you’re looking to bounce light, add warmth, or create a serene retreat, the right texture can make all the difference.
We refer to a textured solid as a surface or material that features a single, uniform color (or very subtle tonal variations) but has a tactile or visual texture. This texture adds depth, dimension, and interest to the space while maintaining a clean and cohesive look.
In this blog, we’re sharing details of how you can elevate your interiors with beautiful textured solids from Coordonné’s Palette Collection.
1. Soft finishes: enhancing light and space
For rooms that could use a little extra brightness, wallpapers with soft, smooth textures are ideal.
These finishes subtly reflect light, making spaces feel airier and more open.
Think living rooms or hallways that benefit from a gentle glow. In neutral tones, these textures can serve as a versatile backdrop, creating a clean and cohesive look while amplifying natural light.
Pair soft-textured wallpaper with metallic or mirrored decor to amplify the effect even further, creating a bright and welcoming space.
2. Woven textures: muting sound and adding warmth
For areas where sound control is a priority—like home offices, media rooms, or cozy reading nooks—woven-textured wallpaper is a perfect choice.
These designs subtly absorb sound, reducing echoes and creating a quieter, more intimate environment. At the same time, the tactile quality of woven patterns adds warmth, making any space feel inviting and lived-in.
Incorporate plush fabrics like velvet or wool into the room for added comfort and a layered, cozy aesthetic.
3. Linen-like surfaces: evoking calm
Linen-inspired wallpapers bring an understated elegance to any room.
Their subtle texture creates a calm, organic feel, perfect for bedrooms or spa-like bathrooms. The natural fibers of these designs evoke a sense of serenity while maintaining a sophisticated edge, blending beautifully with minimalist or contemporary interiors.
Keep the color palette soft and neutral to highlight the wallpaper’s texture, allowing the tactile detail to shine.
4. Rougher textures: adding depth and drama
For spaces where you want to make a bold statement, rougher textures or heavily embossed wallpapers deliver impact. These designs add depth and dimension, drawing the eye and creating visual interest. Perfect for accent walls in dining rooms or entryways, these textures create a dramatic, gallery-like effect.
Use rough textures in bold, darker tones to enhance the contrast and elevate the drama of the space.
5. Subtle patterns: layers of interest
Texture is a great way to add intrigue with subtle layers of detail without overwhelming the room. These styles are ideal for transitional spaces like stairwells or powder rooms, where you want to introduce character without stealing the show.
Pair with minimalist furniture to allow the wallpaper’s intricate details to take center stage.
