Add texture

It’s a good thing…Such a small, simple element that can make a big impact.

Adding texture to any space is so effective, it can be done in small gestures or really large ones. I do this in my own home, in my client’s homes and when working on a photo shoot. A jute rug or runner, a basket, stool or throw can be just what a room calls out for. After installing natural roman shades at a client’s home, we saw how such a simple addition can make a room feel more balanced and interesting. I love Pottery barns new linen lamp shades, for little money they add such a nice contrast. The heathered jute rug from Pottery is an all time favorite of mine. With boys and dogs it defies logic and manages to look pretty darn good, even after years of abuse. Give it a try…just add texture
