Textured Home Office by Michelle Cook

In this home office, the mixture of textures is key in adding layers of visual interest.  The illusion of weathered plaster walls and whitewashed floors, achieved using Weathered Plaster wallpaper from the Precious Moments by Nina Hanock collection and resilient flooring are juxtaposed with the vibrant, high gloss desk, velvet guest chairs, feathered lampshade from Living Lighting, and mottled area rug.  All patterns are soft and minimal, allowing the room to be punctuated with the love of art, on walls, and in accessories.  Mixing textures appeal to many of our senses and heightens our experience of comfort. There’s no magic formula.  Embrace experimenting until the balance feels right in your soul.
