texture tutorial

You know when you see something in a home or store and you just want to touch it? Probably because it screams texture. A really effective way to create interest in a room is by using different textures. Try a shaggy rug with a smooth, copper light. A raw wooden table with beautiful leather chairs. Instantly these different texture will make a room seem warm and inviting. See if you can pick out the different textures used in these rooms. Don’t forget to scroll down to see my mood board of textured products too.

Here are some products I found that make me want to run my hand over them: (I’m not suggesting you put them all together in one room!)

KIDS CORNER

Most of our kids’ rooms don’t look like this, but wouldn’t we love them to??? There’s no reason your kids room can’t be inspiring, playful and fun. Which is your favourite?
