Expertise in the creative use of texture and patterning can literally overflow in outdoor designs and décor. In “Reflections” by Ryan Hughes Design, a massive outdoor space was custom designed to maintain a warmth and calming grotto-esque mystique presented via contemporary styling. Drawing upon a desired feeling of privacy, textural elements, patterns and custom techniques made the project’s modern vibe equally possible. This over 5,300 square foot outdoor retreat required extraordinary features to continue the design cohesion. A sunken fire lounge was crafted appearing to float within the 1,720 square foot pool. Custom designed outdoor rooms, each created to make distinct statements, bordered the multi-feature pool. A Koi pond patio, an illuminated, pergola-capped sofa lounge and amazing water walls with glass-tile custom works of art were positioned alongside large greenery living walls. In the state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen texture was presented in an exotic wood ceiling, leather-finished steel grey granite countertops and sleek stainless appliances. With oversized cushioning, coordinating pillows and decorative outdoor rugs, texture and patterning also offered options for seasonal dressing.

In the world of interior design, achieving a space that exudes warmth and invites comfort is an art form in itself. At Elizabeth Cinquini Interiors, we perfect this through the strategic layering of color, pattern, and texture. The first step lies in the walls themselves. Here, contrasting hues breathe life into a room, setting the stage for further embellishment. Texture, too, plays a pivotal role, as it not only adds visual interest but also tactile allure. Whether through textured wallpaper or the careful selection of furnishings, every element contributes to the sensory mix of the space. The magic truly unfolds with the interplay of fabrics, metals, shapes and patterns. Each layer intertwines harmoniously, creating depth and dimension while ensuring a cohesive aesthetic. It’s the delicate balance between these elements that transforms a mere living space into a sanctuary—one where every corner beckons with its own story, waiting to be discovered.
