Lessons in Layering - As Styled by Sarah
Elevate your space with the art of layering
By thoughtfully combining rich textures and complementary tones, you can create interiors that feel both curated and inviting. Layering creates depth, warmth, and visual interest. Bringing personality and comfort to every corner of your home.
Layer with colour
Sarah Pickersgill Brown recently redecorated her master bedroom, starting with the Alessandre floor rug in Clay. A grounding piece that connects the warm, earthy tones of her ensuite floor tiles into her adjoining bedroom. It started as the foundation and inspiration for the rest of the rooms décor.
This warmth continues in the layering of Ravello bed linen. The soft, tactile beauty of biscuit hues brings a sense of grounded calm, while the contrasting layers of Ravello Silver add a touch of modern sophistication. Together, they form a palette that feels both timeless and fresh. Layering with colour is about creating balance, rhythm and visual intrigue.
Layer with texture
Don't be afraid to mix materials. Linen, wool, and velvet each have their own distinct characteristics that add depth and dimension. When layered across cushions, throws, and bed linen, these fibres invite touch, evoke emotion, and bring a subtle, sensory richness to your home that transforms a space from simply styled to soulfully lived in.
Layer with patterns and plains
The interplay between pattern and plain creates visual harmony. Start with a foundation of solid tones to anchor your palette, then layer in patterns, such as stripes or herringbone, to bring movement and interest without overwhelming the space. A statement cushion like Vinnie, in a lumbar size, draws the eye and adds a refined focal point.
