Let texture be the front runner

When you decorate with neutrals, texture becomes all-important. From lace bed linen to velvet curtains and soft woolen throws, textured accessories will instantly transform a room with a crisp neutral colour scheme into a warm and sophisticated retreat.

You can also give your neutral colour scheme that extra dimension with textured paints. Bring out the cosiness of a small bedroom with a feature wall finished in lustrous pearlescent paint or replicate the feel of an old-world Italian villa in your kitchen with cabinetry dressed in textured stone paint.
