​Tips to Add Texture to Your Space with Curtains

Posted by John Dawkins on 2nd Jul 2019

Is your home in need of a refresh? It takes small details to transform your home interior décor. If you want to give yours a boost, you can try a simple trick that interior designers rely on: texture. This is one of the most cost-efficient ways to elevate your interior décor without spending a lot of money on a new furniture or lighting fixture. Every piece of decorative piece at home consist some kind of texture. Whether something is made of plastic or metal, they have some type of texture to them. This means that you can try out different types of materials to infuse texture to your home.

Window treatments like curtains are one of the best ways to infuse texture to any space. It is a simple addition but can have a significant impact. Below are some of the interior designer tips to add texture to your space using curtains.

  • Choose curtains with patterns in them. Visual texture is something that you see and not felt. Adding curtains with patterns can uplift any room as it tricks the eye into thinking that there is an actual change in texture. If you cannot find any curtain fabrics with texture, using patterns is a great way to inject texture to the space. The visual cues provide an interesting detail to the eye. With a multitude of design options and styles to choose from, you can easily find one that works for your desired theme or color scheme.
  • Layer different types of curtains. Another fun way to introduce texture to your interior space is to layer curtains. The more contrast each type of fabric has, the better. The layering option is also a great way to showcase finesse in your home interior styling. When layering curtains, though, make sure to use heavy and light fabrics (instead of choosing heavy on heavy, or light on light).

  • Choose tactile texture on your curtains. The addition of textured curtains to any room in the house can provide depth in space. It can also provide the essence of warmth and cozy ambiance to your home. It is a great designing trick to use on your curtains during winter if you want to keep your home warm and cozy. Velvet curtains are one example of tactile curtains. They provide an air of luxury while the texture of the fabric introduces a sense of decadence. Other great choices of curtain fabric to provide tactile texture are linen, raw silk, and wool.
  • Add drapery headers to your windows. This is one final trick that you can try when you want to infuse texture using curtains. You can find more than a dozen styles of drapery headers in the market today. You can even have them customized according to the style, color, or pattern of curtain fabrics you use. When choosing the header, consider the volume of the fabric you are using, desired level of drama you want to create, and the core design theme.

Incorporating texture into your home is fun and exciting. But in order to make it work, you need to strive for balance. The lack of textured details in your home can leave the space looking bland and boring. Texture provides a nice burst of character and visual interest. Learn to establish a balance between these elements in order to make it work and achieve maximum impact.
