TEXTURE AND DECORATING
Always remember for a house to be seen as truly
welcoming the décor must incorporate texture in the remodeling
and decorating process. Texture means surface quality which can be
as expected natural or man-made. Something can look as smooth as silk or as
rough as the jagged edges of a broken rock.
Natural
texture can be water, the beach, the corn field,
etc. Your paintings ,your carpets, upholstery can all incorporating
various textured effects. To understand texture you have to have experienced
touch you will not understand rough until you have experience rough. After
experiencing this you may associate it with seeing, so you may be able to
remember how a rough surface should look and feel.
You
can incorporate texture in the bed linen, the drapes, the carpet and kitchen
and bath. Wall paper can play an important part in introducing various textures
.Many textures are tactile the ones that you feel through touch , but some are
experienced but not touched and are referred to as non tactile.
Your wall paper and linoleum floor cover are non
tactile they appeared textured but when touched they are really smooth. Some
painting is non tactile such as Durer and Van Eyck look textured but are
really smooth, flat surfaces. Different textures are seen in cut glass in table lamps, cobble stones on the patio, woven linen fabric on your chairs,
and wicker on your dining chairs.
