How To Bring Texture Into Your Home With Rug Culture

Adding texture into your home is a key element when aiming to elevate your space, but often it’s hard to know where to start. Rugs just might be the perfect addition when looking to create visual interest and balance in your home. With this being said, how do you know you’re choosing the right piece for your place? To help with this question, we explore Rug Culture’s timeless new Marigold collection. Featuring organic shapes and neutral tones, we’ve taken inspiration to list a few helpful tips on how to bring texture into your home.

Consider How You Want Your Space to Feel

An essential step in bringing texture into your home is to consider how you want your space to feel, and we’re not just referring to the vibe. Creating soft, warm and inviting areas can enhance your home, making it feel more tranquil. A big part of this comes from the comfort of your space, such as how your chosen textures actually feel. Incorporating rugs that are both stylish and feel amazing underfoot helps to achieve that calm atmosphere.

Discover Shapes and Patterns

So, we know how important it is to create a space that feels good, but it’s just as important to include textures that look good as well. Aesthetic pieces can be beautiful, but if they lack depth, it may have the opposite effect of what you’re trying to achieve. Selecting rugs with shapes and patterns can add dimension, while also enhancing your space. Organic shapes, such as arches, are also ideal for texture while adding an interesting visual aspect.

Tip: Consider your rugs pile height, a longer pile will add depth plus feel amazing.

Think Neutral Palettes

A neutral palette can also be the perfect base to bring in texture while creating visual interest. Not only will it elevate the warm, calm feeling of your space, but it’s an easy way to achieve depth. We love our bright, white homes, but even through a neutral palette these can be levelled up by adding and layering different tones of white: think a white neutral rug, boucle armchair and fluffy throw.

Don’t Be Afraid to Layer

Layering is a simple way to achieve extra texture in those already soft spaces. This tip is perfect for those who already love their home but feel like certain areas need something a little extra. We recommend popping a rug on top of a carpeted area to create depth and add to that diverse palette.

Tip: We recommend using a carpet underlay when layering to prevent any movement or hazards.

Choosing the Right Rug, For the Right Space

Rugs are often found in high traffic spaces such as living rooms and hallways. These spots are perfect when it comes to admiring your rug, but it also means you may need to be a little strategic. It’s better to place a robust fibre rug in those high traffic areas as they can be easily cleaned and are low-shed. This is an important factor to consider when keeping the textures of your space fresh and vibrant for years to come.
