Incorporate Texture

Touch and texture are a huge part of creating comfort. In a bedroom, texture becomes comfort you can feel. A style and mood can be easily manipulated by incorporating various textures in bedding, decorative accents, pillows, and window treatments. To alter a bedroom's texture try a change of linens or use a furry throw in winter versus cotton throw in summer. These textures are recognized as warm and cool and both create a seasonal feel within the space. Textures can reflect any style, mood, or personality. When trying to create a bedroom style remember these textures, from Better Homes and Gardens, to help create a comfortable space that is reflective of your taste!

Traditional: Hand-tufted rugs, woven wools, tooled silver, cut crystal, gilded frames, silk, china, and polished wood.
Country: Braided rugs, worn wood, rusted metals, chenille spreads, ironstone pottery, blown glass, and ticking.

Romantic: Velvet, furry throws, crystal prisms, embroidered fabrics, lace, painted furniture, and hand-hooked rugs.

Modern: Laminated-plywood furniture, plastic, smooth leather, stainless steel, terrazzo flooring, and teak.
