Best Textiles to Incorporate in a Room?
Generally, the best textiles to incorporate into your room are the ones that make you happy. A few simple, fail-proof pieces that you can incorporate into your home are throw blankets, throw pillows and poufs. Mix and match these home furnishings to breathe new life to an old couch or chair. Or, spice up the pillow arrangement in your bedroom with colorful or textured cushions. Instead of investing into an ottoman, poufs are a great way to add interest while serving as a footrest or extra seating.

How to Match Different Textiles in a Room?
Creating that instaworthy, undone yet polished, mix-and-match look seems difficult but in reality, anyone can do it! All you have to do is think about color and textures. When buying throws, indoor outdoor pillows, drapes, poufs and cushions, look for a variety of colors in a monochromatic palette. These colors don’t have to be exact — some can be deeper shades while others a lighter hue. Sticking to one color family is a simple and elegant way to decorate a room without creating an imbalanced look. If you’re more adventurous, you can try your hand at mixing textiles in complementary color families; think: blue and orange, purple and yellow, red and green, etc. However, if you’re apprehensive but still want to get this look, the easiest way to mix and match is to look for different textures and styles of textiles in neutral colors.
