Add Texture To A Monochromatic Room

I think I have finally settled into a color palette--if you can call it color at all--brown, white and tan. I have tried to deviate and mix it up, but I always end up going back to one of my palette colors. It does leave me wanting something a little more though.

After all my blog and magazine reading the main tip I have come away with for a monochromatic color scheme is to add a lot of texture and a few pops of color. I decided it was time to give "texture" a try.

I started small, my throw pillows. I wanted something "fall-y". I have to tell you I was super uncomfortable picking this fabric, but I forced myself to do it.

I'm really glad I did. I loved that it was fall-like with the orange and brown, but also had blue.

Next, I forced my self to pick a couple of fabrics that went with it, and had TEXTURE. It is hard to tell from the picture, but there is brown and ivory mixed in there. Again, I was uncomfortable with my choices, but I made myself do it. I chose an ivory faux fur and a brown ruched that in the right light looks orange/bronze.





Here is the white guy on one of my new yard sale chairs that I LOVE. I love the "fur" with the leather.

Now, just to find an affordable luscious rug and change the art above the couch!
