Your chosen colour scheme is probably the first thing that springs to mind when you are considering redecorating, along with furniture and preferred layout.
However, you could be missing out if you are not contemplating the use of texture in your design scheme too. Texture brings a whole new dimension and depth to walls; thick throws and faux fur cushions can transform the look of a plain sofa or bed.
From feature walls and textiles, to rugs and light shade we look at how to make the most of adding texture.
Mirror Mirror
Mirrored furniture or decorative wall mirrors are an excellent way to maximise the texture in your home. You can add dimension to any room by choosing frames that have detail or colour in them. The reflection from your mirror will also make your room appear brighter and more spacious, and it can maximize the texture you’ve created through other elements. Full length mirrors that lean against the wall, add to your bedroom or dressing room vanity, or take up an entire wall are great ways to make your space feel unique. We recommend this boudoir floor standing mirror and this breath-taking ornate wall mirror.
Lighting Strikes
Lighting is another feature in the room with a dual texture aspect. The look and feel of the lamp itself play a role in providing texture. Lighting is the most multi-layered subject of all when it comes to texture. It is a matter of mixing placements, choosing the right temperature of bulb, and spreading the light sources at different levels throughout the room so you have a wave illuminated texture. This budget friendly option goes perfect with grey or white colour schemes and for a more opulent look we recommend this stunning design.
Rugs, Throws and Cushions
Don’t be afraid to combine multiple textures from satin or silk to velvet or faux fur; combining heavy textures with lighter ones across your rugs, cushions and throws will keep your home cosy whilst looking modern and inviting.
Our favourites are the couture collection from Voyage, one of our best loved suppliers.
This rug is perfect for adding texture to a modern setting, whilst for a cosy look this chevron throw would complement the look.
Couture Collection
Bold as Brass
When thinking about redecorating or swapping out some elements to change up the look of a room think bold as brass! Brass is having a bit of a revival at present, now that rose gold has become much more mainstream brass is much more luxe. We were blown away by this console table and this statement three legged table.
Add Contrast in Colour
A pop of colour is the best way to brighten up a room whilst adding texture. A bold wallpaper is a perfect place to start in a dining room or bedroom. If you are looking for bright, eye-catching colour and texture, we love wallpaper from sanderson that’s sure to spark a conversation.
