Tactile elements create both satisfying surfaces and visual interest in one fell swoop. Here are a few ways to get all the feels in your home using a single design strategy.

Whether you're in the mood for something traditional or modern, there's always a way to incor-porate texture into the equation. Photo credit: www.pexels.com 2. Rugs Galore Rugs, carpets or floor mats are all options when it comes to texture for your toes. The amount of texture varies by design or preference though rugs add character and charm to nearly any room. So while extra-long shag carpeting is bolder than most, no one's fighting the pug snuggles! Photo credit: www.unsplash.com 3. Plant Love People tend towards something warm and fuzzy when it comes to texture. Don't forget that visual variation is just as good! Add stunning visuals to your space using plant play. There's nothing quite like the balance of positive and negative space so let nature take the stage. Photo credit: www.unsplash.com 4. Blankets Blankets may seem a bit on the nose but nothing beats a classic. Go for fuzzy covers or wide-open weaves in this iteration of bedroom texture. Lean in on tactile goodness with chunky knits or cuddly throws for a plush spin on texture—your pets are sure to thank you! Photo credit: www.pexels.com 5. Wood Grain When was the last time you appreciated a wood grain? Its beauty is so subtle we sometimes take it for granted. The good news is understated textures like those found in nature lend themselves to nearly any background. Add wood to your interiors for sophisticated surfaces and texture on a micro scale.

Whether you're into natural terra cotta or an extra glossy finish, the material can be played up or down for your preferred vibe. Add some rustic neutrals or polished porcelain to texturize your interiors for the ultimate in timeless design. Final Thoughts As style elements go, there are a million and one ways to interpret texture. Let your imagination run wild with these ideas to find the perfect fit for your design project. Best of luck with your inspired interiors and remember to make it your own! Photo credit: www.unsplash.com
