When designing a room, we often focus on the big-ticket items—the sofa, the art, the paint color. But the true magic that transforms a flat space into a layered, dynamic environment lies in the fabric.
Fabric is the ultimate tool for adding dimension and depth. It’s not just about color; it’s about the tactile experience—how materials interact with light and how they invite you to touch and stay a while.
Layering Textures is Key
To achieve that designer-curated look, you need to mix and match. Think about contrasting smooth with textured, matte with a subtle sheen.
- Chairs as Anchors: Upholstering an accent chair in a fabric with a pronounced texture, like a rich velvet or a detailed jacquard, instantly makes it a focal point. It draws the eye and grounds the space.
- Pillows for Pop: Pillows are your easiest way to experiment! Pair a sofa upholstered in a smooth, solid linen with pillows made from contrasting materials—a nubby boucle, a crisp silk, or a patterned chenille. This layering adds an instant sense of richness.
