Interior design is all about balancing various elements, but you need to have a keen eye for things. If you’re a fan of shapes and textures, then you’re in luck, because below, we’ll be looking at 5 great ways you can use both these elements in your interior design:

1. The statement living room design

The living room is the statement-piece of your house, because that’s what everyone notices when they first step inside. It’s important that it be like the crown jewel of your interior design. You can create a gorgeous and impact worthy ambiance by utilizing shapes and textures. Take the example of this beautiful living area designed by Chapter13. The use of shapes in the ceiling is exemplary and the monochromatic textures just add so much charisma to the space. The darker shades are applied on the statement areas while the lighter ones keep the rest of the space feeling buoyant.

2. The accent kitchen contrast

Using shapes and textures in a kitchen interior is quite easy because you already have the mainframe in the form of cabinets and drawers. All you need to do is highlight them. It can be easily done if you take inspiration from this residential project by Chapter13. The shape of every cabinet and drawer has been highlighted with a black boundary while the space in-between has been reserved for the lightest texture contrast. It’s a stunning combination that can be used in many other such formats.

3. Getting bold in open spaces

Large circulation areas and transitional spaces can feel empty if you don’t design them right. You can get a great visual balance in such areas by crafting an ambiance with bold shapes and subtle textures. If you’re wondering how to do that, just take a look at this image. The Chapter13 team has used bold triangular shapes to highlight the ceiling design while the floor has been finished in glossy marble textured tiles to counter their presence. It’s a great technique when you want to make a statement but be subtle about it.

4. Going all out with shapely contrast

Shapes are quite challenging to articulate in most spaces, but the Chapter 13 team has done a marvelous job of integrating curves in this beautiful bedroom interior design. The sloping edges of the ceiling meet the walls seamlessly, and the visual contrast of this smooth transition is complemented by rugged wood textures in the media wall and floor. The white bed covers ensure that the space remains visually accessible and not become overwhelmed by the bold shapes and textures used all around.

5. Overlapping shapes and texture
