Our 4 Favorite Textiles to Enhance & Elevate Your Home's Interior Design

Textiles are the finishing touch on a space.  They work together to create a balance and keep a room from feeling bland.  While choosing luxury textiles can get expensive, adding one or two can really elevate the space and give you a high-end look.

Textile #1: Vibrant Velvet for Touch-ability & Texture

Velvet is one of the luxury textiles I love.  Velvet has a nap and will look slightly different depending on how the light hits it.  It is an elegant fabric and is a perfect textile to use on furniture, cushions, and even drapery.  There are performance velvets that resist staining. While I wouldn't suggest using it in a bench at a kitchen table with children, it is perfect for a dining chair or window seat cushion. On pillows, we can use the nap to our advantage and create entirely new looks based on how the front of a pillow is pieced.  It can also be pleated which results in the light hitting it differently and creating added interest. 

Textile #2: Layered Linen for Classiness & Comfort

While 100% linen is not the best choice for window treatments due to its natural tendency to grow and shrink with humidity, a linen-look fabric is a perfect choice to add a relaxed feel to a room. Linen is a good choice on upholstery, bedding, and pillows to create a casual, comfortable room that is still elegant.

Textile #3: Luxe Leather for Durability & Design

Leather is probably the most interesting textile that can be added to your home to elevate the feel but still create a comfortable space to live in.  It is soft and comes in a huge variety of colors. As long as we use a high-end leather, it will be durable and will last for years to come on cushions, pillows, and upholstery. We source high-quality leather for our clients' projects.

Textile #4: Warm Wool for Softness & Sophistication

Wool is a textile that many associate with being itchy or uncomfortable, but those were the days of the past.  Wool can be soft and is a great to use in bedding accents.  It is a durable textile with an interesting texture that brings further interest and elegance to a room.

When mixing textiles, it is important to look not only at color and scale of print.  Texture plays a huge role and using at least one of these luxury textiles in your room is a great way to add interest and make your space one-of-a-kind and custom.
