How To: Incorporate Texture Into Your Next Renovation

Creating harmony in your home often requires taking a step back and thinking how you can bring visual interest or detail to your space to ensure a balanced, cohesive design. Consider the value that tactile texture, like velvet furniture or a shag rug, can add to a space compared to visual textures, like patterned wallpaper or decorative tiles.

We’re sharing some designer-inspired style tips to show how incorporating texture can bring out your personal style with dimension and visual interest.

Designers focus on the little details to elevate a space, turning a standard renovation into a one-of-a-kind design. Go from drab to fab by introducing textured details to your space, from detailed door front options to dimensional glass.

Cabinet door: Detailed cabinet doors add style and glamor
Backsplash: Use textured tiles to add visual interest
Hardware: Metallic accents adds visual texture
Cabinet textures: Flat paints, fine graining, or bold heavy grain
Cabinet glass: The reeded glass trend is here to stay
Sink: Uniquely textured sinks break up flat countertop space

Home renovations allow you to build the kitchen of your dreams and capitalize on your personal style. But don’t forget that homes are supposed to be lived-in! Adding texture and dimension is what makes a house feel like a home.
