Texture is like a magic wand for turning ideas into reality. Upholstery, floor coverings, and other materials are crucial components in design and perform the vital dual roles of construction and decoration. The options they afford in characteristics and performance allow designers to bring creative concepts to life as well as implement innovative design solutions. By experimenting with different finishes and textures, a home can look great with a limited selection of materials.
There are no set rules in interior design. Each example in this book has its own particular philosophy, look, and creative flair. These factors, together with the increasingly well thought-out demands of different clients and the complexity of each particular architectural project, lead to functional spaces and solutions. Designing the space we live in is of paramount importance and is possible through the creative exploration of elements, colors, and materials.
