However, 3D-effect ensured by slight or well palpable texture had become the trend. So, whether it is really an ultra-fresh idea for any interior or another fashion bug for most desperate connoisseurs, we are about to find out. Let’s review some of the most successful examples of using texture in interior design.

Materials and Options for Bedroom

The biggest room at home in size also has the biggest decorative possibilities as well. Everything we mentioned about the bedroom is also true here. However, we did not overview even a half of the overall textured materials that can enrich your living with extra relief. Soft panels are one of such options. They are pleasant to touch, eco-friendly, and visually appealing. Your Contemporary styled room will benefit from this solution.

Fusion style is also a hit when we are talking about non-linear decoration. The black living room in the nook looks very special due to the decent level of artificial light and light motifs of pictures.

Kitchen and a Bit of Fantasy

The cooking space can give you quite a frugal range of options in sense of adding volume.  One of the most obvious and intuitive ways to introduce texture to the kitchen is furniture facades in Classic style. They can be carved, with gilded inlays, etc. But turning on the imagination can prompt us to use additional functional elements of the kitchen set to achieve our goals. For example, it can be the splashback that can appear like a masterpiece of designer art.

Entrance and Hallway

Many houses have spacious enough entrances and/or hallways, so we can’t pass by this room. And since this space lacks furnishing and functional interior items, almost the only way to bring texture to the interior is wall decoration.
