How to add texture to your home

Written by Shereen Lurie

A neutral palette doesn’t have to be boring. In fact quite the opposite is true. One of the most popular style trends at the moment is to use monochromatic colours with an abundance of texture. Here are a few great examples of how incorporating texture into your home decor can help create stylish and inviting living spaces.

Down to earth

An earthy brown couch is anchored on a sumptuous woollen rug, and accessorised by a cosy knitted blanket and scatter cushion. Bottle crates – used as side tables – and an eclectic art collection keep things fresh and fun.

Serene space

Wood is a stand-out feature in texture-focused interiors, and looks greats against bright white walls. Incorporating a variety of woodgrain throughout the decor elements is essential to creating a tranquil and cohesive space.

Unfinished walls

Brickwork that has been left unfinished intentionally for visual effect has become a popular feature in interior spaces. It creates an intimate, cosy ambience and looks great when contrasted with minimalist furniture and industrial pendant lights.

Wooden towel ladders

Bored of your stainless steel towel rail? A wooden towel ladder is not only lovely to look at, but also adds rustic charm to any bathroom.

Metallic pops

A subdued room is given an opulent look and feel with a glossy freestanding copper lamp. Increase the luxe factor of any room by adding metallic decor pops.

It’s in the details

Sometimes a small selection of accessories can instantly transform a room. A quirky dreamcatcher and single pillow adds interest, and a sumptuous faux fur rug at the foot of the bed softens the room.

Beautiful bookshelves

One of the best ways to add colour, interest and texture to any room is with a beautifully laid-out bookshelf. To add diversity to your book collection, organise your bookshelf by colour.
