Another easy way of adding a textured feel to any scheme – from kitchens and bathrooms to living rooms and bedrooms – is to include wallpaper. We’ve seen a surge in popularity of feature walls and the like for the last few years, and there have been some very striking and interesting designs available. For that extra bit of oomph, chose a textured paper. For a sophisticated look, there’s a collection from Colefax & Fowler called ‘Textured Wallpapers ’ which does what it says on the tin. Beautifully textured, almost hessian, grass cloth, and silk-like designs that are both robust and hardwearing, and which would compliment tiled walls and floors, adding a feeling of warmth as well as texture. Look also at Zoffany Hexa, one design in a range of cleverly textured vinyl wallcoverings which could add a touch of grandeur and contrast to a tiled floor or add the wow factor above a dado rail with a tiled wall beneath. Get adventurous with colour, as well as texture.
