So, why is it important to add texture to a space, particularly a bedroom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTexture tells the experiential story of a bedroom space,\u201d May explains. \u201cVisually, texture can create an ambiance of warmth and coziness, sleek luxury, breezy sophistication, and casual comfort, to name a few.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also says a space with thoughtful texture provides hints of how you\u2019ll experience the space. For instance, will the boucl\u00e9 chair be a cozy spot to curl up with a book? \u201cThis is the magic of texture even before you experience it through touch,\u201d adds May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although texture can live in virtually any space in a home, a bedroom simply calls for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA bedroom is the perfect space to play with texture,\u201d May says. \u201cVisual texture builds anticipation and tactile texture makes a bedroom delicious to the touch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read on to explore different ways to add texture, and some life, to your sleep space\u2014and make it feel oh-so-comfortable and inviting in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to add texture to a bedroom<\/h2>\n\n\n\nDescribe how you want the space to feel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When brainstorming ways to add texture to your bedroom, May recommends choosing three words for how you want the space to feel. \u201cThese are your North Star,\u201d she says. She lists words like breezy, ethereal, and easygoing as examples. \u201cTextures for this space might include gauzy drapes, a jute rug, and linen sheets<\/span>,\u201d May adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to make a bedroom feel truly textured and sumptuous, it\u2019s all about layering, says May. \u201cCreate interest by pairing the unexpected,” she suggests. “Juxtapose textures such as silky with rough, nubby with smooth, crisp with organic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bedroom is the best place for a neutral palette since these colors tend to be peaceful and sleep-promoting. They also work well if you\u2019re weaving in various textures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cStay in neutral,\u201d May says. \u201cTextural stories work best in neutrals or monochromatic schemes where they\u2019re not competing with print and loads of color.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n It doesn\u2019t have to just be about textiles when you\u2019re incorporating texture into your bedroom. For bonus texture, May says you can also display baskets, trays, and other accessories that have textured surfaces. Think: wicker and rattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Texture doesn\u2019t have to stop at your bedroom decor. You can also take it to your walls. \u00a0\u201cWallcoverings from faux lacquer to wood to grass cloth are fantastic ways to add texture to a space and really set a tone,\u201d May says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pump up the texture with Saatva bedding and furniture<\/p>\n \n Wrap yourself in indulgent comfort with the weighty yet breathable softness of our sweater knit blanket. 100% long-staple cotton gets softer with every wash.<\/p>\n\n\n \n \n Shop Now\n <\/a>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n Sleep in effortless style with our deluxe linen sheets made with responsibly-sourced, all-natural European linen.

If you\u2019re drawn to natural woven fibers, include seagrass, jute, and abaca in your bedroom. And don\u2019t forget the wicker, rattan, and caning for a textured, bohemian vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBeddings should be unified with the rest of the bedroom space\u2014however, they don\u2019t necessarily have to match,\u201d May says. \u201cUnexpected pairings make a space interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n May suggests keeping prints and colors to a minimum so that you can allow texture to be the main star of the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saatva offers a variety of bedroom furniture pieces that can help you add the pop of texture you\u2019re looking for in the bedroom.
