Transformative Texture!

A lot of times we fall in love with a color and quickly realize that, while navy seems straightforward, there are more than a few different shades. You can take a picture, bring a fabric or paint swatch with you, but until everything is in the same environment, it can be hard to truly see if your pieces clash or blend beautifully.

The secret – texture! Texture is a great way to blend all shades of the same color and add depth and dimension. Different textures work together like a filter in a way. The varying materials help catch light in a unique way and blend everything together. It produces an acquired look. In this case, grass cloth is applied to this chest and helps soften and enhance the beautiful red color, allowing it to blend, rather than compete with the art.

A permanent botanical with your preferred color tones is also a great way to tie everything together; after all, nature goes with everything! You don’t want a room to look “matchy,” and changing up the materials is a great way to keep using the color you love in a different context.
