Layering is a beautiful decorating strategy.

Layering adds beauty and sophistication
to a decorating plan.
There are so many surfaces you can layer in your home. Add layers:
- To your walls with wainscoting, stenciling, wall coverings and crown moldings
- To your floors with rugs and carpets over hard wood, tile and stone flooring
- To your window coverings by pairing soft window treatments with blinds and shades
- To your bed with layers of sheets, blankets, duvets, comforters, throws, pillows and more
- To your furniture with slip covers, embellished pillows and cuddly throws
- To your lighting by combining functional task lighting with interesting lamps, chandeliers, wall sconces, spotlights and even candles
- To your dining table with tablecloths, runners, place mats, chargers and dishware
Layers can be achieved with color, by using multiple shades within the same color family or with complementary colors, such as deep red accents in a sage green décor. Think of color layering during the holidays too, with accents in gold, silver, red and green, or blue and silver.
You can also layer with patterns, using several patterns in a decorating scheme or using the same pattern in slightly different colors or a different scale. Just be careful with too many patterns, so you don’t create chaos!
Think about layering with textures too, combining soft rich fabrics with crisp, clean linen and even tweedy, rough wools.
Think multidimensional about your rooms this summer, and add a little layering for depth and engagement.
