Layering: jute rug + wool rug on top, throw on the sofa + various cushions. Mix textures (linen + velvet + wool) and patterns (solid + printed).

Soft and plush textiles like wool throws, velvets or synthetic furs are perfectly suited for textile layering. They bring comfort and texture to your decor.

Favor complementary shades and prints. For example, opt for neutral tones like gray and beige, enhanced by a few touches of brighter colors. Also mix different patterns like stripes and flowers.

Decorative cushions, throws, sofa covers and plush rugs can enrich your textile layering. Also play with decorative elements like candles, vases or frames to perfect the ensemble.

Follow the care instructions for each textile to wash and iron them correctly. Also remember to store them carefully between each season to preserve their appearance and softness.

The budget depends on the chosen materials and the number of layered textiles. Allow an average of 200 to 500 euros for beautiful textile layering, favoring durable and quality pieces.
