Make your area more interesting with additional textural dimensions and layers with these tips:

1. Classic Architecture

A classic way to add a minimalist texture to walls is through Moulding or by adding a ceiling rose. Both can add an architectural element to a room through with its various lines and designs, not to mention a vintage charm and texture.

Texture can be used to create a focal point in your living room area. The item becomes a focal point because of its size, colour, or distinctive design. It can be a lighting fixture, a cosy sofa or a coffee table, you can build your room around this piece.

Choose your focal point with Retrojan pieces like Bella Moroccan Style Pendant Light in Copper, Aria Designer Coffee Table and Florence Danish Style 3 Seater Sofa with Chaise.
