Mix Textures and Patterns

Infuse your rooms with personality by thoughtfully layering textures and patterns. Combine plush rugs, woven baskets, velvet cushions, or linen drapes to create a tactile and visually dynamic environment. Don’t be afraid to experiment—mix geometric prints with organic motifs or pair bold patterns with subtle textures that speak to your tastes. The key is balance: use a unifying color or theme to ensure harmony.
