Comfort is the secret to creating a homely environment in your home, it is not just the availability of the right colors or right furniture to make your home aesthetically right but it is the right combination of woven textures to add character to your home. It is the use of texturing that helps to take a room from ordinary to glamorous. At Amity Home we have everything that you need to create that warm and welcoming space you have always wanted!

Why Textures Matter

Textures add depth and character to any space. Whether it is the feel of a velvet cushion, the nubby surface of a woven rug, or the sleekness of a linen throw, each texture adds to the mood you want to set for your living space. What is important to realize is that it is possible to achieve this delicate balance between having a well-ordered space and a home that is unique and organic by simply paying attention to textures.

Layering with Quilts and Coverlets

Start with the foundation of your bedroom, the bed. A quilt or a coverlet is not just item to be used for its functionality, but a key element for textures too. Amity Home quilts and coverlets such as the Amory Coverlet – Natural and the Adley Quilt – Champagne have a luxurious feel to them. Adding such pieces can instantly elevate the comfort and coziness of your bedroom.b

Rugs: The Underfoot Luxury

Rugs, even though often overlooked, are indispensable items of home decor since they are responsible for providing warmth to the interior. With a Baron Rug that has a high-quality weave or any other rug, be it as elaborate as a shag rug, rugs are grounding in a sense and establish the proper touch in any room setting. Try placing an accent rug underneath a flat one of a different size but with more texture on the top.

Cushions and Throws: The Finishing Touch

Every comfortable area must have cushions and throws. They offer a source of comfort and are also very manageable when one wants to incorporate different textures. Just picture how a soft velvet cushion will appear next to a thick woolen throw – such are the contrasts that make a home look planned. Our range of cushions and throws have enough flexibility so that you can substitute and arrange them in an appealing manner creating both aesthetic and haptic comfort.

Blending Rigid and Soft Textures

Do not forget to interleave some hard textures together with the soft ones. For instance, combine a fluffy warm throw with a wooden or metal tray to place on a coffee table. This difference gives zest in your space. It is recommended to add wooden details, and metal or glass inclusions into the composition of rooms to improve a combination of textures.

Final Thoughts

Consider textures and weaves as they should blend in such a way that when you lay on the furniture, you get the feeling that the place was especially designed for you. And above all, it’s about trying to combine vintage and modern, soft and hard, and simple and intricate. Amity Home incorporates a wide range of textiles, rugs, and home accessories to enhance the appearance of the interior to meet the warmth of a home.
