THE ART OF LAYERING TEXTURES

The true distinction between good design and great design lies in one powerful element: Texture.

Great design thrives on the art of texture—whether through striking hard finishes that make a bold statement or the soft layering of elements that invite warmth and richness. By incorporating upholstered fabrics, elegant window treatments, textured wallpaper, and carefully chosen floor coverings, a space can transform into something truly extraordinary. It’s a space brimming with depth, personality, and meaning—crafted thoughtfully to resonate and captivate at every touchpoint. When done with intention, texture isn’t just a feature; it’s the heart of the design.

At H5 Interiors, we elevate every space by thoughtfully layering textures that speak to the senses and bring life to a room. Discover how the perfect mix of textures, finishes, and fabrics can transform a space.

HARD FINISHES

Flooring, walls, ceilings, cabinetry, and countertops—are the foundation of every space, the elements that endure and define a room’s character. With each piece, each layer, we are weaving a unique story, one that unfolds and evolves.

These stories are as diverse as our clients, but some common themes emerge:

A harmonious balance of masculinity and femininity: where sleek metal and rich wood come together in a brighter, lighter expression. The fusion of old and new: a heirloom wooden bench reborn as a cozy window seat, dressed in custom cushions that invite relaxation. 

Custom cabinetry adorned with glass—clear or etched—to add elegance and transparency. A variety of countertops that tell their own tales: from the timeless beauty of granite to the boldness of concrete and the sophistication of marble, each surface carries its own identity.

SOFT FURNISHINGS

Soft goods are the ever-changing elements that bring comfort, style, and warmth to a space. From window treatments and furniture to rugs, runners, and décor, these pieces breathe life and flexibility into a room.

They shift with the seasons, offering the perfect balance of warmth and elegance. Thoughtful layering techniques, like pairing woven blinds with linen drapery or placing a hide rug over a jute rug, blend textures seamlessly.

A signature touch is the addition of throw pillows, each with unique patterns and textures but unified by a common thread. This intentional layering creates harmony, ensuring the design feels cohesive and well-curated.

COLOURS

Layering colours is the art of creating depth, energy, and emotional resonance in a space. 

By blending tones that complement yet contrast, we infuse a room with a sense of balance and movement. It’s about more than just matching shades—it’s about understanding how colours interact, how one can lead the eye and another can ground the design. 

Based on the mood we’re aiming for, we pair the hues together. Soft neutrals can be layered with bold, vibrant hues, or rich, deep tones can be paired with light, airy pastels, creating a rhythm that flows throughout the room. The result is a space that feels alive, dynamic, and inviting—where every hue has a purpose and every transition tells a story.
