ADDING TEXTURE TO A NEUTRAL SPACE

Hi Friends...Winding down on a wonderful summer at the beach house....It is amazing how texture adds to a space when decorating with all neutrals...take a look at our recently added area rugs and bamboo roman shades...
Happy Summer...yes, it's still summer!!!
This was our dining area without an area rug or window shades...
and this is after...what a difference...





Our open concept floor plan...also added a jute area rug in the family room area...













I am loving these shades with the trim...it is feeling really good to be finishing up...at least this room...more to come...
xo, Mariaelena

  9. You're so right ~ the texture made a huge difference. I've been needing to do something in my own dining area to cozy it up a bit, and I know a rug is the way to go. I always have a hard time moving forward with big ticket items, though. I'm sure the impact will be worth it, as your pictures prove. Great style!
