CREATING TEXTURE WITH LAYERS
Layering pieces is a great way to give your home depth and dimension. This can be done using textiles, art, accessories, or a combination of all three, and will create a more dynamic and ‘lived in’ feel that can round out your design scheme and give the space a finished feel.
Window treatments are one of the best elements to layer because it is practical as well as visually appealing. Add drapery on top of a neutral roman shade to provide the option of more privacy and incorporate a fun color or pattern, or use blackout lined woven woods beneath sheer drapes in a bedroom to create texture and allow for a better night’s sleep. Layering window treatments gets the most out of your windows while tying the design scheme together.
Another way to create more dimension and make a space feel finished is by layering textiles. A bed will feel polished with throw pillows and a blanket, and adding some benches and complementary accents to the nightstands can round out the room. As long as you stick to a color palette you can really add as many textiles as you like and the end result will feel cohesive.
Finally, complete your home with a layer of accessories. Fill up your bookcases with books that you love, add a pretty tray to the coffee table or put a beautiful bowl on your kitchen counter to give the home that personal touch. Choose items that you naturally gravitate to, and feel free to change it up every season or so to keep your space feeling fresh.
