The country farmhouse, the cozy cottage, and the elegant townhouse all have one thing in common – they can all be complemented with textures! Decorating with a variety of materials adds dimension and style to a room. Textures catch our eye and draw us in. They appeal not only to our sense of sight but also to our sense of touch. Textures can captivate our curiosity and add character to a home. So, how can you intrigue potential buyers as they walk through your home? Keep reading for tips on staging your home while using textures that demand a closer look.
Create Contrast
You don’t want everything in a room to be made of the same material. For rooms with sleek floors, you can mix things up with a big fluffy rug, plush fabrics, and rope or woven surfaces. Pick things that will stand out against the smooth surface of the floor or furniture. Decorative pillows and drapes come in all kinds of fabrics and can provide a splash of texture in a limited space. If you have a more modern-style home, you’ll want to bring in plastic, metal, and glass surfaces.
Statement Pieces
So, how can you mix in different textures? A gorgeous stone fireplace or a carved wooden table could be the tactile focal point you’ve been looking for! As far as smaller details go, wall hangings can incorporate a variety of materials, both subtle and bold. Also, sculptures are another great way to make a space more interesting. Let your creativity run wild.
Natural Inspiration
From shells to stones, there are many natural pieces you can incorporate into your decor that will give your home a warm, cozy feel. Blending elements of nature into your space has a calming effect. Things like horns, feathers, and branches can be added to shelves, hung on the wall, or placed in a vase.
