Adding texture to your room is a simple way to make a big impact. It can be as simple as adding an accent material like in a throw pillow or as all-encompassing as new window treatments and furnishings, but the result is unmistakable. Texture adds depth and dimension to your room for well-rounded décor that engages our visual and tactile senses.
At Vignettes Home in Galena, IL and Dubuque, IA, we bring interior design services to add new style and texture to your interiors with fine furniture, quality accents, and more. New window fashions, for example, are an easy and powerful way to add or balance texture as your custom shades can be made from a wide range of materials from woods to silks and everything in between.
Exploring Texture Through Fabric
Fabric is a compelling option for building textures in a room, especially when used in window fashions, as it adds a third element for visual interest—movement. There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of fabric choices to craft custom window fashions to perfectly suit the nuanced style of your individual home. Some of our favorite options include:
- Woven Wood Materials: For textural interest, it’s hard to beat the visual interest of woven wood shades. Crafted from grasses, bamboo, reeds, woods, and other organic elements, these textiles have raw yet refined weaves with varying degrees of openness and a range of unique textures. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades and Alustra® Woven Textures® are available in styles of Roman and roller shades whose sculpted fabric design elevates the depth and dimension of the textures in woven wood textiles.
- Voile and Sheer Materials: With their translucent properties and sleek profile, voile and sheer materials make an excellent textural complement to interior décor heavy on hard textures (like hardwood floors or wooden furniture) or rich in very plush textures (like oversized furnishings or shag carpet). They also have a unique relationship with sunlight, being able to softly filter the harsh rays whilst still providing a view out that creates visually striking window fashions. You’ll see sheer fabrics in use in a variety of Hunter Douglas window fashions including sheer curtains and sheer shades like Silhouette® Sheer Shades, Pirouette® Sheer Shades, and Luminette® Sheer Panels.
- Plush Fabrics: In the Design Studio™ Custom Drapery collection there are over 250 fabric/color choices with a diverse collection of texturally interesting fabrics. From velvet to damask to embroideries, there is a texture to suit, balance, or compliment any room in your home.
Creating Layers of Texture
For balanced textures in a single treatment build layered window fashions with complementary but contrasting textures. Sheer curtains and shutters, woven wood shades and drapery, sheer shades, and hard cornices—there are endless ways to mix and match window treatments to create one of a kind layered window fashions for your home that have balanced textures, layers of visual interest, and all the features and amenities of the individual layers combined for elevated control and comfort.
