Your bedroom's textures affect more than appearance - they influence how you experience your space daily.
From the first step onto a plush rug to sinking into layered bedding at night, thoughtfully chosen textures transform your room from basic to luxuriously comfortable.
A few comfy, warming texture combinations create depth while serving practical purposes. They help regulate temperature, absorb sound, and provide the tactile comfort that makes your bedroom feel like a true sanctuary.
Join us below to discover the best textures to use in your bedroom.
How textures transform your bedroom
Think of textures as your room's comfort building blocks. Each layer adds practical benefits and visual interest.
Soft surfaces absorb sound and create warmth, while contrasting materials add depth without overwhelming your space. Unlike bold colours or patterns, textures create subtle sophistication that reveals itself through daily use.
Perfect pairings for maximum comfort
Cosy bed frames
Upholstered beds in teddy fabric transform your bedroom into a cosy sanctuary, combining plush texture with practical durability that stays fresh all year.
Rich velvet upholstery makes a bold statement. Its characteristic sheen creates luxury that invites both touch and admiring glances.

Practical soft furnishings
Microfibre excels in high-touch items like cushions and bean bags, offering outstanding durability and reliable softness.
Create inviting seating areas by layering different sizes and shapes, letting this practical fabric work throughout your space.
Natural foundations
Jute and woven rugs add organic texture and help define specific zones in your bedroom, such as those for reading and gaming.
Place larger rugs under beds for anchoring presence, and position smaller versions beside seating areas to add pleasant underfoot comfort.
Warming layers
Knitted blankets serve double duty - they provide essential warmth while creating visual interest through woven patterns.
Mix different weave sizes, combining chunky throws with finer knit accessories, to build texture depth that remains attractive when used or displayed.
Window treatments
Basketweave curtains provide excellent light control, while their substantial texture adds visual depth to your windows.
Choose floor-length designs that help regulate temperature and minimise outside noise for a functional upgrade.
Statement surfaces
Textured wallpaper turns ordinary walls into sophisticated features, whether you choose natural grass-cloth or subtle geometric patterns.
Apply textured wallpaper to a single wall as a focal point or use it throughout your room to create a cohesive feel.
Metallic elements
Hammered copper light fixtures add warmth while casting intricate shadows across your bedroom ceiling.
Brushed metal details on mirrors and handles catch the light differently throughout the day, creating subtle highlights.
Leather accents
A leather bed frame brings timeless elegance with its consistent grain pattern and durable, smooth texture that elevates your entire bedroom design scheme.
Small leather touches like storage boxes and bound books bring sophisticated texture without overwhelming the space.

Ceramic details
Handmade ceramic pieces bring organic warmth to bedside tables and shelves. Their unique glazed surfaces catch light beautifully throughout your bedroom. Mix smooth and textured finishes in your ceramic collection to create an interesting visual contrast that draws the eye naturally around your space.
Tufted surfaces
Deep buttoning on ottomans and window seats adds classic dimensional texture that invites both touch and eye while creating a sophisticated depth effect.
Tufted furniture serves double duty in your bedroom. It's comfortable and adds sophisticated visual depth that elevates your space.
Glass features
Seeded glass pendants create gentle texture by playing with light rather than physical touch, casting beautiful shadows across surfaces.
Textured glass panels on bedside tables add an extra layer of interest while maintaining visual simplicity, perfectly complementing other bedroom textures.
Natural stone
Cool marble or slate surfaces on dressing tables provide elegant contrast against soft bedroom textures.
Stone-topped tables offer lasting durability and elegant touch points that bring subtle sophistication to your bedroom design.
