Texture is an essential element of interior design that can add depth and interest to any space. It refers to the way a surface feels or looks, and can include everything from soft fabrics and cozy rugs to rough stone and sleek metals.
When it comes to incorporating texture into your home décor, starting with a neutral color palette can be helpful. Neutrals such as white, beige, and gray can provide a blank canvas for textures to shine. This doesn't mean your space has to be boring, however. Adding a mix of different textures, such as a plush rug and a knitted throw, can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Don't be afraid to mix and match textures to create a unique and visually interesting space. For example, pairing a smooth leather couch with a nubby wool rug can create a nice contrast. Mixing textures can also help to balance out a space and make it feel more cohesive.
Experimenting with different materials is another great way to incorporate texture into your home décor. Consider incorporating materials such as rattan, jute, and natural wood to add a touch of warmth and organic texture. Metals like brass, copper, and chrome can add a sleek and modern texture to a space.
Layering textures is another effective way to create a dynamic and interesting space. Layering can involve adding a variety of different textures to a single piece, such as a throw pillow with tassels or a rug with a raised pattern. Layering can also involve adding multiple textures to a space, such as combining a velvet couch with a woven basket and a shaggy rug.
Finally, adding texture with accessories is an easy and affordable way to incorporate texture into your home décor. Consider adding a chunky knit throw to your couch, a woven wall hanging to your bedroom, or a faux fur rug to your living room. These accessories can add a cozy and inviting texture to any space.
In conclusion, incorporating texture into your home décor is a simple and effective way to add depth and interest to your space. By starting with a neutral color palette, mixing and matching textures, experimenting with different materials, layering your textures, and adding texture with accessories, you can create a unique and visually interesting space that reflects your personal style.

Ria's interior design expertise truly made the process an absolute pleasure. Her keen attention to detail is evident in every aspect of her work, ensuring that every element aligns perfectly with the overall vision. What impressed me the most was her unwavering commitment to communication and follow-up. No question went unanswered, and she was always readily available to address any concerns or queries I had along the way.
One of Ria's greatest strengths is her ability to listen attentively to her clients. She took the time to understand my preferences and needs, offering insightful suggestions that elevated the design to new heights. Her recommendations weren't just about aesthetics; they were tailored to optimize functionality and enhance the overall ambiance of the space.
Working with Ria was a collaborative and enriching experience. Her passion for design shines through in every decision she makes, and her dedication to client satisfaction is unparalleled. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I wholeheartedly recommend Ria to anyone seeking a truly transformative interior design journey.
Ria did a wonderful job on designing my space. She really took the time to discuss with me my ideas to get a sense of my needs and style. Her communication throughout the process has been phenomenal so I’ve always known when to expect things from her. She’s been responsive to my feedback and to exploring options that fit my design preference. I look forward to working with Ria on more design projects!
I really enjoyed working with Ria, she was great at taking direction and finding the look you had in mind, but any time you weren't quite sure what to do with a space she was quick to offer guidance. I think she went above and beyond to make the whole process enjoyable and as easy as possible.
I was looking for something more polished for my main bedroom. Ria created a beautiful, custom design plan for me based on my preferences and how we use the room. Would highly recommend.
I needed a rental space decorated after my divorce and I was on a budget. Ria came in and understood what I wanted to accomplish and listened to my feedback throughout the process. Although we went slightly over budget, in the end my home now feels like "me" and is soooooo comfortable and cozy when I need to relax and decompress in the evenings after work.
I debated only giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to being slightly over budget (I wish there was a 4.99 rating), but this was a near-ideal outcome in terms of how much I enjoy the spaces she decorated - so 5 stars it is!!!
Thanks Ria for an incredible job!

Ria did a great job with my project. She was patient and took the time to get to know everything I was looking for. Throughout the whole process she was in constant communication with me about how work was going, what issues came up, and how she was helping to take care of them. She was very frank about prices and timelines, but also worked really hard to help me find the right style and stay within budget. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to spend money on a designer, but I'll definitely be reaching out to her for future projects.
Ria was awesome to work with!!!! She has great taste for design and worked with the ideas i had. She is also very honest and professional. I would definitely recommend her if you are needing a designer!!
