Texture in a room is not just about the fabric type; it is also about the design and texture. Choose your textures carefully to create a warm, cozy environment. Texture may be an easy buzzword to say, but let’s explore what it means. It is not just about a fuzzy blanket artfully thrown on a couch. It is more about creating visual texture – marrying rough and smooth to create something pleasing. The texture is a great way to create accents and draw attention to a room or part of a room.

To create a rich design, consider layering different sources of texture. It does not need to come only from fabric or furniture finishes, though that certainly is a great way to achieve it. Anything in the room can create texture. A polished mantle can contrast beautifully against a fuzzy or tassel rug, for example. Contrast can also create beautiful levels of surface in a room! If you are a fan of statement pieces, go for bigger, understated furniture like velvet sofas in neutral colors – the fabric would be the stunner in this case.
