Tactile Accessories

Accessories are a key part of what gives our home a personal and stylish touch. They can transform the entire look and feel of the room and can be used to create focalised areas of colour and pattern within your chosen room. This season is set to see a huge rise in TACTILE ACCESSORIES that not only create colour and pattern but a textural feel and finish that is perfect for both modern and contemporary interiors.

Vases come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and the angular and geometric shape of faceted designs will create a tactile finish that looks particularly stylish in both modern and retro homes. These can be paired with faceted candles and photo frames that are sure to create a focal point on a sideboard or mantelpiece. Diamante effect items will also create this textural and faceted finish and are ideal for creating areas of illumination and sparkle within your room. You can partner these with sequined or glittered cushions that will create a glistening focal point on a seating area or bed. This luxurious style of interior design can be further incorporated into your room with a selection of satin cushions and accessories that will create a sleek and tactile finish.

Suede is a great tactile finish that works well in a wide variety of interior designs. If you wish to create a sleek and sophisticated office space, then select some suede desk accessories and stationary holders as well as filing boxes that can be paired with a suede finish desk chair for added sophistication. Leather accessories work brilliantly alongside suede and its smooth and cool feel can be used across tactile items such as folders, files and book binders. You could also include some leather photo frames, leather framed mirrors and clocks to create a linear and masculine finish within your office interior.

Fur is always a great choice for getting a tactile finish in your home interior and makes a perfect choice of fabric for cushions, throws and rugs these can be placed alongside smooth rose gold accessories for a modern Nordic interior design.  Rattan accessories such as vases, planters and baskets will create visual and tactile texture within your room and can be filled with ornamental grasses and reeds for an added textural finish with a twist of botanical elegance. Another great finish for modern home accessories is stainless steel which will create a streamlined and sleek look when used across modern lamps, vases and frames. Chrome is also a versatile material that can also be used as a finish across your taps, shower fittings and kitchen accessories for a reflective contemporary interior design.
