10 Ways: To Add Texture And Layers To Your Coastal Design
10 Ways to add coastal texture style with layers and finishes. Design tips to give depth to your coastal home design and decor.
1. Color Tones
Decorating a home in one color tone is a wasted opportunity. Using only one shade of color looks flat, choose preferably three shades and mix them between rugs, furniture and paint and still achieve a monotone look.
2. Accent Wall
Wallpapering or painting one wall as an accent wall will add dimension to a room without being overpowering.
3. Architectural Details
Adding architectural details to a wall like shiplap or wainscotting will add texture and interest to a room.
4. Emphasize the Ceiling
The ceiling is an important fifth wall in a room...Many people forget to consider the the ceiling of a room and miss an important opportunity to add texture and layers. Paint or an interesting treatment on the ceiling will add more layers to a room. Painting the ceiling a darker shade to add depth or a lighter shade to add height. A library with a dark paint on the ceiling will give richness and warmth to a cozy space. A dining room with reflective paint on the ceiling will enhance the glow of a chandelier for more drama and elegance. A ceiling painted in a light blue will make the room feel light like a light sky. Wallpaper like grass cloth on the ceiling adds texture and interest. Wood like shiplap on a ceiling will add texture and a coastal feel. Wood beams adds architectural interest and a rustic feel.
5. Mix Textures In Your Fabrics
When it comes to fabrics a mixture of textures is much more interesting than just one texture or type of fabric. For example if you have a linen pillow, mix in some some other fabrics like a knubby silk, a soft velvet or a light cotton.
6. Window Treatments
Add layers of window treatments like a woven shade combined with linen drapery panels. This is an opportunity to add not only layers but a mix of textures.
