In Touch: Texture in Design

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Creative use of texture can add a whole new dimension to a room. Velvet, suede, Perspex, steel, and stone--all these can be combined, juxtaposed, or used individually to stunning effect. In Touch is an invaluable sourcebook of ideas in which top interior designer Kelly Hoppen shows you how to introduce texture into your home and create interiors that exude both comfort and style. Drawing on traditional as well as innovative textural applications, she demonstrates simple yet dramatic combinations such as an unexpected leather trim on a linen cushion. Not limited to soft furnishings, texture is explored through furniture, decorative pieces, paint, and wall and floor coverings. Kelly invites you to discover your own preferences and find inspiration from the world around you. An essential guide explains the use of texture boards, and photos of Kelly Hoppen's own designs provide a wealth of ideas for your own home. A comprehensive directory looks at the range of materials available, including cost-effective alternatives for the more expensive products.
