Using texture is one technique you can use to your advantage. Texture can be used for contrast with materials such as bricks or rough tile. Texture can also be shown in fabrics for window treatments and upholstery.
Pattern is another element that can be used effectively to set the mood of a room and create style. It can also be used to create the feeling of space. For instance using a vertical patterned wall paper makes walls seem higher. A great technique to use in a smaller home.
Shape can also enhance a room. A round area rug can be a delightful addition to a living room. Window treatments can also be used to add shape to a room. They can also be used to create harmony and rhythm to a room by repeating a shape already existing in the room. For instance repeating the curve of the arm or back of a sofa, on the hem of a valance.
Careful planning allows you to use these elements and techniques to their maximum effect. When paired with color you can create a unique and personal look to your home.
