Layering Materials and Textures
The most compelling interiors possess a quality of depth — a richness that rewards extended attention and creates visual interest from every angle. This depth results not from quantity of decoration but from the thoughtful layering of materials and textures: the contrast between smooth and rough, matte and reflective, warm and cool, structured and organic. Each material relationship adds a layer of sensory complexity that makes the room feel dimensional rather than flat.
