Home Design: The Power of Texture

power.of.texture.jpg


New York Times:

Classics with a twist? Definitely. Tradition? Yes. Modern? Absolutely. When it comes to what's hot in home design this fall, familiarity breeds content, but take note: there are more than a few surprises. Don't expect safe; expect subtle, sexy, comfortable.

The power of texture is the point. This season's corduroys are wavy and asymmetrical. Hearty professorial tweeds are made of luxurious silk taffeta, and loopy pile rugs have been toned down in the latest evolution of the brightly colored shags of the 1970's. An appreciation for the coziness that texture can bring is often a sign of trying times, and Elaine Griffin, a decorator in New York, is ready for clients who are ready for comforts.
