PLANK & PINE - Timeless, distinct, and designed for the way you live. DESIGN NOTES ENHANCE YOUR WALLS: DISCOVER FOUR WAYS TO INCORPORATE TEXTURE An important design philosophy that we bring into all our projects is to include and elevate the texture within the home. When there is a lack of texture, homes often feel hard, cold, and empty. There are many ways to incorporate texture, far beyond simply adding wicker baskets to your spaces. We like to start with the walls of a home because they pack a big punch. Here are four techniques that we like to utilize in our projects: WALL PANELLING
There are endless opportunities when it comes to wall panelling. When opting for this route, it’s critical to consider the installation details: the sizes and profiles of decorative mouldings or trims, how they will integrate/terminate with existing baseboards and window casings, and the type of material to use, especially in areas where humidity is a concern. In our Dominion Project, we introduced wall paneling reminiscent of historical styles, producing an incredible amount of texture and notable focal points.

While beams are often seen on ceilings, they can also be creatively used in other areas such as fireplace mantels, cased openings, and even integrated into your millwork design.

Some applications, like the "peel and stick" method, require less commitment and are easily removable, which we utilized in the water closet at our Highbank Project. ( Photo: Sara Dykerman)
At Plank & Pine, we design homes that evoke feeling. Each one is an elevated yet uncomplicated reflection of our clients’ lives. We specialize in extensive projects like new construction homes and comprehensive renovations that allow us the opportunity to see your space as a whole and curate elements that work together to enhance every moment.

TEXTURED PAINT Textured paint is another straightforward and economical option for adding texture to walls. We also want to point out that Roman Clay from Portola Paints is made from 100% natural ingredients and does not release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are known carcinogens found in many modern paints commonly used today. We have used Roman Clay in several projects, especially on fireplace walls, to achieve a budget friendly concrete look and feel. In our New Beginnings Project, we applied a deep blue hue to all the walls in the office, resulting in an incredible, almost velvet-like appearance. Darker colours tend to enhance the textured look more than lighter ones, and the application technique also plays a significant role.
