Mixed Textures in a Modern Home

When renovating a home there’s an art to using what you have and adding completely new elements. This home renovation was stripped down to just a few walls from the existing structure. The charm of an old, wide arched doorway became a source of inspiration as the house was being rebuilt with a modern flair. A panoramic view of the city made wall to wall windows a key ingredient. Concrete flooring and high gloss cabinets were all elements that needed to be softened once the home was completed. With layers of white and grey being the main colour scheme, the house was given white linen Hunter Douglas rollershades for sun protection and privacy.
Mixing textures that seem to oppose each other balance out harsh elements such as a concrete floors, wide windows and high gloss cabinets. Adding linen sheers was the winning ticket that brought softness into this modern home. The filmy fabric was stacked as side panels but also had the ability to close in the heat of the summer. The mirrored chrome channel rods that were used added the additional glitz to an overall white palette.
