Texture Creates Atmosphere Before Colour Takes OverColour is often the first thing people notice in an interior, but texture is what makes a room feel complete. The surface of a fabric, the weight of a weave and the way a textile catches the light can change the entire atmosphere of a space. In bedding, materials such as linen, Egyptian cotton, cotton percale, sateen or cashmere blends each create a different tactile experience. Linen feels relaxed and natural, percale feels crisp and fresh, sateen brings a smoother and softer surface, while cashmere and cotton blends add warmth and quiet luxury. In curtains, texture becomes even more architectural. A sheer fabric filters light gently, a linen curtain adds natural movement, while heavier weaves, velvet, wool or blackout fabrics bring depth, privacy and structure.
