More About How to Use Texture Instead of Color for a Summer Refresh 🧵

Colour is often the go-to for refreshing a space, but texture can achieve the same effect with less risk. Varied tonal layers create depth that bold colour alone often can’t sustain.

· Start by identifying where your room lacks variation. If every surface is smooth, the eye has nowhere to land. Adding a woven textile or a natural material introduces contrast without changing the palette.

· Think about texture in terms of scale as well as material. A loose linen curtain feels different from a bouclé cushion. Mixing open and tight weaves, along with smooth and rough finishes, builds a layered look that feels intentional. ✨

· Summer suits textures that feel light and natural. Rattan, linen, jute, ceramic, and pale wood bring warmth without committing to seasonal colour changes.

Using texture well is one of the quieter and most effective skills in interior design. Kate Brooks Studio can help you find the right balance. Get in touch to start. ��‍��
