Adding Tactile Interest with Texture
Plain white drywall. Neutral colors. Yawn.
Rich textures add so much to a space. Even for the starkest of minimal spaces, texture adds visual and tactile interest. Stone, rough-hewn wood, bamboo floors, sleek maple furniture, gravel, plants, and many more materials make a space a success. Contrast between textures, even in an all-white space, make it come alive.
I especially like the way interior designers can breathe life into a neutral palette by using a range of different textures. The contrasts between them draw people's interest into the space.

There is a lot going on here, but all the textures (including slate on the ground, stone on the wall, timber on the siding, concrete and beams) seems to play off one another that results in a balanced harmony. Here the relatively neutral palette keeps this balance in check; the grays, browns and bieges work well together.
