When designing the interior of your home, adding texture can significantly elevate the aesthetic appeal and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Texture adds depth and dimension to spaces, making them more interesting and engaging. Here are ten creative ways to incorporate texture into your home decor:
Layering Textiles
Textiles are perhaps the easiest way to introduce texture. Consider adding a woven throw or an 18" Square Woven Cotton Pillow with Striped Flange Edge to your living room sofa or bed. These elements can add both visual interest and physical comfort.
Incorporate Natural Materials
Nature-inspired decor like a Hand-Painted Stoneware Planter or a Hand-Blown Glass Bottle Vase can introduce unique textures and colors. These elements can be strategically placed in various rooms to bring a hint of the outdoors inside.
Use Rugs and Carpets
A well-chosen rug can act as a focal point for a room and add texture underfoot. Look for rugs with interesting weaves or patterns to enhance the textural quality of the space.
Install Textured Wallcoverings
Consider using wallpaper or fabric wall coverings with raised patterns or motifs. Textured wall decor can be subtle or bold, depending on your style.
Play with Mixed Materials
Combine different materials like glass, metal, and wood. A perfect example from the Shelf & Tabletop collection is including items like wood or glass accessories to contrast and complement one another.
Choose Textured Furniture
Handcrafted or distressed furniture can introduce depth and personality. Look for pieces that combine hardwoods with metal or fabric for a rich textural display.
Utilize Baskets for Storage
Woven baskets offer both practical storage solutions and a textural element. These can be used in living rooms or bedrooms to store throws, magazines, or other essentials. Explore more options on the Baskets and Storage page.
Adorn with Art
Artwork with textured elements such as three-dimensional pieces or canvases with heavy brushstrokes can add a focal point to any room. Consider incorporating a mix of vintage and modern pieces.
Add Plants
The leaves, bark, and pot textures of indoor plants can add layers of texture. Consider planters with intricate designs or made from varying materials.
Play with Light
The way light interacts with surfaces can enhance a room's texture. Use various light sources and fixtures to highlight the textures of other decor elements.
Remember, adding texture doesn't mean overcrowding your space. It's about finding a balance and combining complementary textures. For more home decor ideas and pieces that add texture to your space, explore the curated collections at Loved Homestead.
