Types Of Textures To Use In Minimalist Homes

Minimalist spaces are notorious for being stark and very bare. They’re cold and need some major texture interventions to feel cozy and welcoming. Here are 5 types of textures you can use in minimalist homes without breaking theme:

1. Tribal patterns

A bit of color aesthetic is exactly what every minimalist space needs, and you can deliver the best by featuring some tribal patterns in the form of floor cushions, couch cushions, and even sofa throws. The strategic arrangement of them in this living room is a great way to go about it.

2. Matte charcoal laminate

Dark, intimidating colors always add a sense of charisma within a lightweight minimalistic interior design. Charcoal laminate in matte finish is an excellent way to achieve this. You can use it on full-length bookshelves, media walls, and even kitchen cabinets. They can be accented with dim gold accent lighting and metal hardware to break the monotony of the surface.

3. Sophisticated Carrera marble texture

If there is one texture that can maintain its timeless beauty in a minimalist ambiance, it’s the understated, veiny Carerra marble. You can find a lot of laminates and tiles in this textures within the market so you won’t have to splurge on actual marble at all. You can use it as kitchen backsplash, bathroom tiles, vanities, dining table tops, and even living room accent walls.

4. Artsy light fixtures

Another unique way to bring some visual and tactile texture in your home interiors is by selecting a statement light fixture. Since most of the space is stark and austere in a minimalist space, having one single elaborate focal point only helps enhance the overall ambiance. You can look at this bedroom interior design and its gorgeous light fixture as an example.

5. Powder-coated aluminum framing

Powder coated aluminum is another darling of the design world. It’s durable and comes in many unique textures – be it plain or patterned. You can use it to design framing for your minimalist home interiors such as the trimming for bifold doors or shower stalls. This way, you can emulate a bit of flashy texture in your spaces without being too obvious or breaking theme.
