PLAY WITH TEXTURE…

DO

● Build up multiple layers. For an easy way to work the trend, pile on the cushions and throws, using different textures and tonal shades.

● Introduce touchy-feely furniture such as the sheepskin Fox chair from Habitat or the latest Bethan Gray collection at Anthropologie.

● Look for natural materials such as jute rugs, sheepskin and hessian wallpaper.

DON’T

● Go overboard with pattern – this look is about tonal texture, not clashing prints.

● Limit yourself to soft furnishings. Ceramics and wood are also clever ways to add texture.

● Forget about your walls. Textured paint – such as the Craig & Rose Artisan Stone Effect range at homebase.co.uk – adds depth to a room. For a quick update, opt for a woven wall hanging; or, for a bold statement, hang a floor rug.
