Product Description
Book Description
Creative use of texture can add a whole new dimension to a room. Velvet, suede, Perspex, steel, and stone--all these can be combined, juxtaposed, or used individually to stunning effect. In Touch is an invaluable sourcebook of ideas in which top interior designer Kelly Hoppen shows you how to introduce texture into your home and create interiors that exude both comfort and style. Drawing on traditional as well as innovative textural applications, she demonstrates simple yet dramatic combinations such as an unexpected leather trim on a linen cushion. Not limited to soft furnishings, texture is explored through furniture, decorative pieces, paint, and wall and floor coverings. Kelly invites you to discover your own preferences and find inspiration from the world around you. An essential guide explains the use of texture boards, and photos of Kelly Hoppen's own designs provide a wealth of ideas for your own home. A comprehensive directory looks at the range of materials available, including cost-effective alternatives for the more expensive products.

WOW- wonderful book!,
This review is from: In Touch: Texture in Design (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed the harmony of Kelly Hoppen's book. I had never thought how the combination of different textures could make a room so interesting but it works! I found the pictures tranquil and inspiring, and would recommend the book to anyone who wants to take their design to a higher level (and definitely with minimal clutter!). The only strange aspect was her keen devotion to "wenge wood" - whatever that may be!

Edited design with style / a photo fest of design for today.,
By BRAD EPPERSON (ATLANTA, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In Touch: Texture in Design (Hardcover)
This is a very beautifully edited book of design for today and a timeless look into the future of interior design. Although this book is primarilly focused on residential interiors, the simplicity of detail and design presents it also as being applicable to commercial design.

Interiors using everyday ingredients,
By R. Perry "baseball geek" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Touch: Texture in Design (Hardcover)
For anyone undertaking home design or decoration , whatever the budget, this is a book for you. A wonderful discussion about the touch and feel of combining fabric and stuff you enjoy. She emphasizes that sensational ( and cost effective) interiors can be produced with the ingredients of everyday life. Why collect stuff that you can't use or look at, right. She also helped me understand fung shui in practical terms and recognize how the senses incorporate water, earth, metal, fire and wood. Stunning photography of simple yet dramatic combinations.
