Designing Mindful Happiness: Textiles / by Anna Paganelli

Tactile Textures: 

Adding visual triggers to your home through the addition of textiles, immediately enhances the atmosphere of an interior and is a key element when considering mindful design.

Use textiles as 'tactile' triggers; crafted and handmade pieces are ideal, coupled with contemporary purchases.

Mix up different looks and fabrics, according to the rooms your decorating and your own individual style as we show here.

Top tip: Seasonal changes are ideal for creating a fresh new look and vibe.
