These photos illustrate how important texture is to a design scheme.  In this room, the color story is tight.  Basically three colors, the blues, greens and tan are close in saturation as well.  Texture is what makes this room shine. 

Notice how evident the weave on the furniture upholstery is.  The grain on the fabulous credenza leaps in joy.  The silver shiny hammered metal practically grabs your hand.  The throw, bumpy and soft, contrasts the tight weave of the chair.  The plush rug and the reflection of mirrors invite you in.  The feathery flowers add even more contrast.  Even the candle looks so matte and mottled.  It is just begging to be lit. 

My client, Bonnie, chose all of this.  She is fabulous, isn’t she?  I swear she hired me to be nice!
