Have you ever seen a picture online or walked into someone’s living room and just felt like it radiated warmth?  It’s like the room is just inviting you to come inside and spend some time curled up on the coach.  Do you want to replicate this feeling in your own home?  One of the best ways to do this is through the use of texture.  Adding texture to a room gives it not only visually appealing but also appealing to our sense of touch.  Here are some ways to bring warmth into a room using texture that you can try out in your Locust Grove house.

Embrace the walls

One place to find texture in a room is on the walls.  Do you have a brick wall in your home?  Instead of trying to hide it under a layer of dry wall, embrace the rough texture that it can add to the space. You can add texture to walls through creating a focal point in a room with wood or even wallpaper. Wallpapers offer a way to add subtle texture throughout the room and there are a lot of options out there.

Layer Fabrics

Using a mix of different fabrics in a room can help to up feeling of texture in the room.  Combine sleek curtains with linen pillows and a chunky blanket to build a variety of textures in the room.  In a guest room you can use different types of fabrics for the comforter, pillows, and blankets to build texture. Don’t forget about rugs too.  You can opt for a rougher natural fiber rug and place a softer patterned one on top  to highlight a smaller space within a room.

Contrasting Decor

Bring texture into a room with the decorations you select for the space.  If everything in the room is the same material, it can feel a little to similar. A woven basket set behind smooth glass bottles, brass candlestick holders, or a mirror can all be used to introduce different textures into a room.

Mix Patterns 

It’s okay to incorporate more than one pattern and material  in a room.  Placing velvet throw pillows on a leather coach or  adding a rug to a tiled floor can add layers to a room.

Add Plants and Natural Elements

Incorporating house plants into a room is a simple way to bring in some texture through nature inside of your Locust Grove house.  There are a variety of house plants that can fill a spot on a bookshelf or add interest into a corner of the room. Bringing in other natural elements into your home like wood or stone is another way to layer texture into a room.
