The Joy of Fabric Textures: Velvet, Linen, and Faux Fur

Stephanie Kratz • March 15, 2024

Texture plays a vital role in designing interiors that are both visually appealing and physically comforting. It adds depth to a room and engages our senses, both visually and through touch that have the power to transform any space into a multifaceted and inviting retreat. Velvet is synonymous with luxury and opulence. Its plush, soft surface appears to change shades when the light hits it, adding dynamic texture to any piece of furniture or accessory. Velvet has a unique way of capturing rich, deep colors, making it ideal for accent items, like throw pillows or an armchair. It brings a touch of sophistication to modern and classical design themes alike.


 Linen brings an effortlessly chic and natural feel to any space. Known for its breathable quality and beautiful natural weave, linen can add a laid-back, yet refined, texture to your décor. It's incredibly versatile and fits well within a wide range of design styles, from beachy to rustic to modern minimalism. Faux fur imparts an undeniable feeling of warmth and indulgence. Especially in colder months, throwing in some faux fur elements can infuse your space with a cozy atmosphere. This texture is excellent for bringing in an element of fun and playfulness while keeping the look chic. Each fabric brings its own personality and feeling into a room. When combined, textures like velvet, linen, and faux fur can complement one another and create interiors that are engaging and harmonious.
