Prepare yourself: texture in 2020 isnt going to be subtle, but instead decidedly conspicuous, with ribs and spines and 3D volume that scream out: Touch me! See me!
Touch Points
Lean in real close and you'll see that woodworking legend Zanat carves out each Touch sideboard ($5,140)including the front panels of bubble-like divotsby hand. switzercultcreative.com
Quilted Picker-Upper Texture in 2020 is the kind you can see from clear across the room. Exhibit A: Moroso's Big Braid fabric on the Moroso Gentry sofa ($7,476). dadegallery.com
Accordian to Whom? Each delicate porcelain rib on the Celia white vase ($27) is applied by hand. cb2.ca
Icebreakers If re-tiling the bathroom is too muchof a commitment, the 3D Finell silicone placemats ($135 per set) are a respectable intro into texture in your home. atkinsonsofvancouver.com
Curve Appeal I'm loving the channel/fluted wood trend. The Haven Collective's interiors are generally more muted and monochromatic; we rely on pattern and texture to create visual interest in our spaces.Erin Chow, The Haven Collective
The texture on Kate Duncan's ribbed dining table in walnut ($16,000) is accentuated further with a black oxidized finish. kateduncan.ca
Hot New Threads From apparel to toss cushions, we are all about pop-out embroidery embellishments. Find sweet, tactile comfort in Anthropologie's Olga Prinku Odette embroidered pillows (from $116) in trendy ochre and navy. anthropologie.com
Beetle Mania Part acoustics enhancer, part three-dimensional art piece, the Beetle (starting at $1,600) from Sancal has assorted coloured panels and wood tints to create 13 different sound-softening wall configurations. pompandcircumstance.ca
3D Tile
We love Ames Tile and Stone's 4D Max seriesIt's a favourite product of ours because of the fun modern patterns, and of course our love for blue accents. Jamie Banfield, Jamie Banfield Design
I am loving 3D tileIt's a way to add pattern without making the room overly busy.Ben Leavitt, PlaidFox Studio
