A Moscow House Uses Texture to Create Interest

Color is not the only way to make a space visually interesting. In fact, when too many vibrant colors come into play, it is easy for a space to get a busy, crowded, and distracting. This Moscow home, as visualized by Iqosa, instead chooses to stay with a neutral color palette, consisting largely of dark grays, creams, black, and a bit of gold. To bring more visual interest into the space, texture is used heavily throughout the design.

The flat panel screen is hung on a craggy stone wall, with the visible texture both helping to camouflage the television and to create an interesting dynamic between the smooth surfaces of the sofa and its opposite wall.

For instance, the deep dining chairs use a wire frame that takes the place of the standard Eames-style smooth, molded chairs while the table they surround shines with a smooth glass finish.
