With Fall right around the corner, I am looking for ideas to change things up a bit. I am certainly not an expert, but I do love patterns and texture in a room. If you add in a small amount of color to a neutral room, then I am definitely on board. I really like rooms that are almost neutral. I love Adding Pattern & Texture For Fall or anytime throughout the year. One of the easiest ways is with throws and pillows, and sometimes my furniture too.
I’m thinking Fall so I have been looking at tons of before’s to help me decide what I want to do this year.
This room is light and bright for Fall but just look at all the Pattern and Texture it has. Pattern and Texture in the pillows and the plant, beads and basket on the coffee table add more texture.
This room is filled with Texture. All 5 pillows have different textures. The corn plant in the corner and the plants on the coffee table add more texture. The throw blanket adds pattern as well as the different patterns in the throw pillows. This is a great example of how Texture and Pattern can be amazing and still be subtle.
The Loft/Girl Cave is a great example of adding Pattern and Texture. This room has a great basket trunk that adds tons of texture even before I do any decorating. Adding a plaid throw blanket and a pillow with tassels amps up the texture quota tons. The pattern in the two pillows keeps it neutral but adds interest. Just enough for easing into Fall.
This picture shows more pattern and texture in the Family Room. This is still a neutral color scheme, but the different fabrics (leather, linen, and velvet) and patterns in the pillows, a plaid throw, and even the cowhide rug all add to the pattern and texture making sure this room has something interesting to see.
Don’t forget that wood, leather, cane, and plants all add Pattern and Texture too.
I change up the living room constantly. It is so easy to swap out pillows and accessories and I have a whole new room. I love that this room has built-in texture with the tile floors and the area rug adds even more texture. Your room can be subtle or bright and still filled with Pattern and Texture.
Fabrics always add tons of texture and subtle pattern.
So how is your Fall decorating coming along? I am still in the thinking and planning stage.
Woah – love those mix of throw pillows! How fun! Especially the gray one with the brown fringe.
Your home looks lovely in any season, Marty! Thank you for the good tips for adding pattern and color. Not everyone is ready to go full-on pumpkin these days, but we like things to look cozy.
Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!
