Textured

In a previous post I talked about my design aesthetic and what words I would use to describe it. Textured would be right up there on the top of my list. I think its one of the basic design elements that give rooms a grounded, inviting feel. A connection to the real world we live in. I especially like textures that represent nature or in the case of these gorgeous pillows found here at West Elm evoke the sense of season. I would love to throw one of these on my sofa or leather chairs to announce that fall and cozy times are on the way. Out with the shiny silk summery pillows. Time to make a switch and I cant think of a better way to do it than with texture!
