In Touch

Meer over het boek

Creative use of texture can add a whole new dimension to a room. Velvet, suede, plexiglass, and steel--all of these can be combines, 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 to your home and create interiors that exude comfort as well as style. From slub silks to men's suiting, she explores both traditional and innovative uses of texture. She shows you how to make simple yet dramitic combinations of materials such as an unexpected leather trim on a linen cushion, or a stone floor beneath a metal table. Texture is not limited to soft furnishings, but is explored through furniture, paint, wall and floor coverings. The book invites you to discover your own texture preferences and find inspiration from the world around you. An essential guide explains the use of texture boards while inspirational photographs of interiors designed by Kelly Hoppen provide a wealth of ideas that can be recreated in the home. A comprehensive directory looks at the range of materials available, including cost-effective alternatives for the more expensive products.
