Design Tips to Add Texture to Your Dining Room

 

When it comes to designing your home, the magic is in the details, and that includes in your dining room, where small design details can add up to major impact. If you want your dining room to feel trendy, stylish, and visually impactful, one detail you’ll want to focus on is texture.

Adding texture to your dining room — whether by wall treatments, textiles, or even lighting — can help you take your room design to the next level.

But how, exactly, do you do that?

A recent article from realtor.com outlined trendy ways to incorporate texture into your dining room design, including:

• Shiplap walls. Many people associated shiplap with modern farmhouse design. But shiplap can work with a variety of design styles. Not only will it add texture to the walls by adding visual interest, but, when done right, it can also make a smaller dining room feel larger.
• Sheepskin chairs. Not ready to make any structural changes? Not to worry! Textiles are an easy way to add texture to the room without any major redesigns or renovations. Try sheepskin dining chairs, which are both comfortable to sit in and elegant to look at.
• Birdcage lampshade. Lighting is another great way to add more texture to your dining room in a fairly accessible (and affordable!) way. Consider a woven lampshade, which will add texture without feeling too heavy, thanks to the openness of the design.
