If you’re anything like me, you've probably lost hours scrolling through Pinterest, dreaming of spaces that feel both welcoming and uniquely yours. The secret ingredient? Texture!
When I first started Knotted by Hand, my mission was simple: to create serene, inviting spaces that nurture well-being. My journey as a fibre artist truly took off when I discovered the magic of texture through my first wall hanging. It was a game-changer.
Imagine walking into a perfectly designed room that still feels a bit flat. Now, picture that same space with a chunky knit throw, a soft woven wall hanging (like one of mine!), and a few textured pillows. Instantly cozier, right? That’s the power of texture—it’s like giving your home a warm hug.
Texture adds depth and interest, turning a room into a lived-in, inviting space. It’s the spice rack of interior design—without it, everything would be pretty bland. But don’t worry, mixing textures is easier than you think! Try pairing a smooth wooden table with a fluffy rug or a sleek metal lamp with a handwoven wall piece. The contrast will make your space pop.
Let me tell you about a little experiment in my own home. One evening, while procrastinating on actual work, I decided to refresh my living room. I added a knitted blanket to the armchair, threw in a few textured cushions, and hung one of my favorite woven pieces above the sofa. The transformation was instant—my formal living room became the perfect cozy spot for a book or a tea chat with friends.
Now, imagine trying to cuddle with a cold metal sculpture. Not great, right? But snuggling up with a chunky knit pillow or leaning against a soft, woven wall hanging? That’s the comfort we crave. Texture brings that tangible coziness into your home.
So, how do you start adding texture to your space? Begin small. Swap out plain cushions for textured ones, add a throw, and if you’re feeling adventurous, consider a custom wall art piece from Knotted by Hand. Each piece is crafted with love, designed to bring warmth and personality to your home.
Incorporating texture isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating a space where you and your loved ones feel truly at home. So next time you’re refreshing your space, remember to add a touch of texture. Your home—and your well-being—will thank you. And if you need help, you know where to find me!
Stay cozy,
