5 Ways to Add Texture to Your Summer Interior

When the sun’s out and the windows are flung open, it’s tempting to strip things back and keep everything light and minimal. But summer interiors don’t need to feel flat or lacking in warmth! In fact, when you add texture to your summer interior, you can create a space that feels both fresh and full of character. Here are five beautiful (and baa-rilliant!) ways to do just that.

1. Layer with Lightweight Sheepskin

Just like switching your wardrobe for the season, summer interiors love lighter layers. Yes, sheepskin works beautifully in summer too! Our single Ivory or Eggshell Sheepskin Rugs are a stylish way to soften wooden or tiled floors without adding weight to your décor. Drape one over a chair, use it as a breezy bedside rug or pop one on an outdoor bench to bring a touch of texture and natural charm to your space.

2. Mix Natural Materials

Introduce different natural surfaces throughout your home to enhance your summer style. Pair a wooden Baa Stool footstool with a Rare Breed Sheepskin Cover, or team a wicker basket with a folded Dusky Pink rug for a warm, rustic contrast. Mixing materials like jute, rattan, wood and wool adds depth and makes a room feel relaxed but considered.

3. Play with Soft and Structured Shapes

Combining structured furniture with plush, tactile fabrics creates a lovely sense of balance. A Baa Stool Dressing Table Stool with a Slate Grey Sheepskin top adds a luxurious, cloud-like feel to even the neatest corners. Or try placing a bold Teal Sheepskin Rug beside a sleek linen chair for a striking yet soft look.

4. Add Layers with Colour

Colour is one of the easiest ways to bring visual texture to your home. Opt for colours with rich undertones—like Merlot, Chocolate, or Fossil—to ground your lighter summer shades. You don’t need to go bold; a simple sheepskin cushion in a deeper colour can do wonders for making a pale palette pop.

5. Create Cosy Corners

Even in summer, we all need a spot to relax. A small sheepskin-covered bench in Sage or Rare Breed tucked under a table or end of the bed invites you to pause and unwind. Add a lightweight throw, a magazine and a cool drink, and you’ve got a perfect summer hideaway with plenty of texture.
