certain areas that you want to stand out. Anything that has strong texture makes a statement and immediately draws in your focus, so it is important to layer both visual and physical textures to ensure that a space doesnt feel too busy.

However you choose to add texture to the bathroom, be bold with your choices to create a bespoke space thats uniue to you.
