Texture is an important basic in decorating because of its wonderful ability to add contrast to a room.
And adding textural touches is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to add interest to a room because you can often find pretty things to decorate with right outside your door!
Here are some links to some textural, mother nature-inspired decor elements:
- stones
-seashells
- bark
-wood
There are also lots of inexpensive man-made, textural materials you can use too.
Here are some more inspiring links:
- burlap
- coffee sacks
- canvas drop cloth material
- grasscloth
I hope you are inspired to add some textural touches to your home today! You'll not only love the way they look, you'll love the "bottom line" too!

Rattan chargers can be found in abundance at most flea markets and antique stores. They're great for displaying natural collections like seashells, candles and other natural elements
Burlap costs about $2.00 a yard at most fabric stores, but when wrapped around regular old plant pots it looks like a million bucks!
Burlap also works wonders on windows. Here, it makes a delightful drape.
