In the context of interior design, a textural kitchen refers to a kitchen that places a strong emphasis on textures and materials. This involves using a variety of materials, such as wood, stone, glass, and metal, to create a visually and tactilely rich environment. The use of different textures can add depth and character to a kitchen space. Contrasting colours, spectacular furnishings, mind-blowing surfaces, and other features will all be present in a textured kitchen.
There are countless possibilities when designing a textural kitchen, which will be discussed in this blog.
Why Is Texture So Pivotal?
Texture will give you a wide variety of choices, space to apply your own ideas, and also give your kitchen a mortal touch, which will personalise the space for you. Your kitchen's background and colour scheme should fluently go with the texture you choose to employ there.
What Qualities Define A Textural Kitchen?
The first and foremost thing we need to keep in mind while selecting a textural pattern for your kitchen is that it must blend in with the background colour, theme, and artwork. The furniture and kitchenware you are choosing should also blend with the entire design scheme.

How To Add Texture To Your Kitchen
-
Choose Natural Materials
Use natural materials like stone, Cobbles or wood for various elements in your kitchen. Wooden beams, stone countertops, or cobble accent walls can introduce texture and a rustic feel.
-
Textured Countertop Finishes
Opt for textured countertop materials like honed granite, leathered quartz, or marble. These surfaces have a tactile quality that adds interest to the kitchen. Countertops, the most important aspect of creating a kitchen’s look and feel, can be textured. Choosing vintage finishes for your countertops will add warmth and a tactile texture. Because of the large surface area they cover and their increased visibility, countertops will serve as a major focal point. Granite is the most popular material used in countertops because it is more hygienic, highly durable, and requires very less maintenance if sealed. But other stones, like marble, can also be used to create a textural kitchen countertop, as they have natural veining textures.
-
Backsplash
The choice of backsplash/splashback can complement the cabinet texture. Textured backsplash tiles or a textured stone countertop can enhance the overall texture of the kitchen. You can choose the colour of your backsplash depending on the theme of your kitchen. We have both natural and engineered stones such as marble, granite, and quartz in a variety of colour options - beige, black, grey, and a lot more.

Cabinets
Combining different materials for your cabinets, such as a mix of wood and glass or metal accents, can introduce various textures within the kitchen design. The style of cabinet doors can contribute to the overall texture. Raised panel doors, for instance, have a three-dimensional texture due to their raised centre panels, while flat-panel doors offer a clean and minimalist look.
