The rediscovery of texture
Where colour and form previously dominated interiors, attention is now shifting to how a space feels, literally. The texture of a wall gives a space depth, warmth and character. A villa with flat, smooth walls immediately feels different from a home where stone, plaster or hand-applied finishes create layers. It is no longer the surface that counts, but what lies beneath it.
Why texture exudes luxury
Texture is synonymous with craftsmanship. Whether it’s hand-plastered walls, a rustic stone wall or the subtle play of light on matt plaster, these are elements that show that an interior has not been chosen from a catalogue, but has been put together with vision and attention. In the interior trends of 2025, that’s exactly what counts. Luxury does not have to shine. It can be raw, natural and tangible.
A textured wall catches the light differently throughout the day, creates atmosphere without decoration, and even makes a minimalist interior interesting and lively. It is a way to say a lot with very little.
Materials that make the difference
- Rustic stone: Perfect for accent walls or exterior walls that blend seamlessly into the Ibiza landscape. It creates an earthy, timeless look.
- Polished plaster (Tadelakt, beton cire or Marmorino): Gives an almost silky surface, ideal for bathrooms or serene living rooms.
- Wood texture or clay: Combines beautifully with Ibiza’s natural light and organic architecture.
These materials fit perfectly into the modern villas on the island, where indoors and outdoors meet and simplicity goes hand in hand with elegance. The interior trends of 2025 show that sustainability, craftsmanship and aesthetics are increasingly coming together in a single design philosophy.
Interior advice: start with the walls
For those who see an Ibiza villa not only as an investment but also as a home, character starts at the foundation: the walls. Think beyond colour or smooth plasterwork. A carefully chosen textured wall is one of the most powerful ways to create a unique atmosphere, understated yet distinctive.
The power of texture in luxury interiors
Texture is more than a style choice; it is the silent narrator of a home. Combined with thoughtful architecture and carefully chosen materials, it creates an atmosphere that not only exudes luxury but also evokes a sense of tranquillity and authenticity. This interplay comes into its own in Ibiza, where every space stimulates the senses.
