Clean Lines, Texture and A Shot of Color

This room is a great example of a successful mix of pattern and texture. The light walls and neutral curtains are a great backdrop for the mix of pattern in the fabrics. The light blue color of the walls is repeated in many of the fabrics. The terracotta color is repeated in the patterned fabrics and again in the solid upholstery fabric but is used sparingly for just a punch of color. The ceiling light fixture, urn and side table add a variety of organic textures. The lines of the furniture and accessories as well as the curtains are simple and unfussy. Photo HouseBeautiful.com

Adding any of these elements to your room will give it an instant update and current feel.
