Interior Design, a high-end, full-service, residential interior design firm in Portland that offers custom textile work such as pillows, drapery and, monogramming. Why is it important to use texture in a room? AK: Texture is its own pattern. I think it makes just as great of an impact as say a zebra pattern or something really bright. Itâs all about how things come together. Whateverâs on the floor is a huge element, whether itâs a rug or just wood floors. People tend to forget that it makes the biggest impact. What kinds of fabrics and textiles do you gravitate toward? AK: I really love linen and wool. We use a lot of linen in our work, both printed and plain, and we use Lapchi a lot, which is a custom rug company here in Portland. What colors are you favoring right now? AK: I think there is still an attraction toward warm tones in the orange or raspberry range. A lot of people are asking for pops of color because they are still in a very neutral palette. I always think itâs great to see color in a house, especially here in the Pacific Northwest where it can get very dark. 1111 S.W. Alder St., Portland, (503) 224-7797, montgomeryklash.com
