The Ultimate Guide to Layering Textures at Home
Creating a home environment filled with warmth, depth, and personality often hinges on one transformative design principle: layering textures. When done right, it can turn even the simplest of spaces into a sophisticated sanctuary. Whether you're a novice seeking to revamp your currents settings, or a seasoned interior designer, this guide will illuminate the art of layering textures to elevate your home aesthetics.
Understanding Texture and Its Importance
Texture in interior design refers to the surface quality of a material. It can be smooth, rough, soft, or hard, each evoking a different vibe and feel. Layering textures is about combining these different qualities to add dimension, warmth, and interest to a space. Without texture, a room might feel cold and flat, no matter how beautifully it’s styled.
Let's delve into how you can effectively incorporate textures into your home, moving room by room to explore practical tips and product suggestions.
Living Room: The Heart of Texture
1. Fabric and Materials
To begin layering in your living room, start with textiles. Cushions, throws, and rugs are excellent for introducing varied textures. Opt for a mix of materials like cotton, wool, velvet, and linen.
Consider including the Atrium Polo Natural Rug from House of Isabella. This natural-hued rug adds a layer of sophistication with its subtle texture, perfect for grounding your space.
2. Lighting Layers
Adding varied lighting is another excellent way to layer textures. The juxtaposition of different light intensities and sources can create a well-nuanced ambiance. The Condotti Green Table Lamp & Shade introduces both texture and colour, becoming an eye-catching focal point in your living area.

Bedroom: A Textural Oasis
1. Bed and Bedding
Your bedroom is a personal retreat, and layering textures here is all about creating a cocoon of comfort. Think of soft cashmere blankets combined with plump feather pillows or a luxurious velvet bedspread.
If you’re considering new furniture, the Single PU Leather Bed Frame Pink is a fantastic choice from the Artiss Collection. Its sleek, smooth design juxtaposes fabulously with plush textiles, offering a balanced aesthetic appeal.

2. Pendant Lighting
Overhead lighting is essential, and choosing a pendant light with texture adds an artistic element to your room. The Malabar Beaded Pendant - Small Natural/White features delicate beads that add intricate visual interest against a simple ceiling structure.

Kid’s Room: Fun Meets Functionality
1. Interactive Elements
When designing a kid’s room, consider incorporating tactile elements that are also interactive. Textured rugs or bean bags can provide sensory fun as well as comfort. Consider adding the PU Leather Kids Recliner with Drink Holder, which combines functionality with a kid-friendly aesthetic.
2. Vibrant Colours
Layering with colours and texture together can make the room lively and inviting. Use wall decals or a washable rug to invite a playful vibe. Textured curtains with whimsical patterns can tie the room together, creating a cheerful space.
Kitchen: Subtle Yet Striking
1. Cabinet Choices
Sometimes overlooked, kitchen cabinets are a fantastic opportunity to introduce texture. Choose materials that contrast with your worktops, such as rough stone or a distressed wood finish to add intrigue.
Browse through the Cabinets Collection at House of Isabella for a variety of choices that balance style with practicality.
2. Accessories
Functional accessories like bar stools bring additional texture and can bridge the design theme with the rest of your open-plan living area. Consider using a range of materials like metal, wood, and fabric for a dynamic look.

Hallway: A Welcoming Touch
1. Textural Wall Elements
Hallways often lack natural light, making it crucial to engage other senses besides visual to make it inviting. Wood panelling or textured wallpaper can add depth and warmth. Pair these elements with unique lighting from the Lighting Collection.
2. Flooring with Character
Whether it’s a statement rug or a unique flooring finish, texture in the hallway creates a welcoming first impression. A runner in natural fibre like jute or sisal is ideal for high-traffic areas.
Conclusion: Balance and Harmony
Creating a home that feels cohesive and balanced while embracing the beauty of texture requires creativity and attention to detail. By selecting versatile products and focusing on different surfaces, you can craft spaces that feel interconnected yet distinct.
