Textures Transform Your Home
Have you ever seen one of those all white interior design spaces and wondered how they made it look so appealing? The key isn’t keeping it’s clean, it’s using a variety of textures! Read on for inspirational images of brilliantly-designed textural homes.

Herringbone wood floors, white imperfectly-painted subway bricks, glass chandelier, glazed ceramic tub with brass fixtures, combined with an unexpected wood stump side table show how disparate textures can work together luxuriously.

In the fireplace behind, 2 large urns sit, while outside the fireplace is a plant frond in a clear vase.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Blog-Textures-via-MyDomaine.com-Alexandra-Ribar-580x712.jpg)
Bright and light space. Love the rough, plant-based furniture, woven rug, the amazing basket-like pendant light, and the neutral colors, paired with marble and painted white walls, all of which are very popular right now.

Finally, two white globe lamps hang from brass fixtures in the kitchen area.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Blog-My-Domaine-by-Alexandra-Ribar-1-580x760.jpg)
A smooth marble island and splash-back, slick wood chairs and cabinetry, architectural concrete, and round glass pendant lights all create movement and interest.

Two more black and white vases sit to the left, holding white cow-lily plants, in front of a window.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Blog-LuxeDeco-Fluffy-Stool-580x363.jpg)
Fluffy stools with brass components contrasted with the sleek console table and multiple vases and ceramics give a fun sense of glam.

This dramatic city skyline view is complimented by the textural sensations from the faux fur rug, soft pillows and blankets, the smooth wood flooring and sleek blue vases filled with fresh flowers. I’d love to cozy up here and spend hours taking in the view, wouldn’t you?
