The key to mixing textiles is layering with intention. Linen napkins paired with cotton runners create a soft contrast, while embroidered placemats can add subtle detail without overpowering the setting. Neutral tones tie everything together, allowing one accent piece—like a patterned cloth—to shine. For example, linen provides a crisp, refined look, while cotton adds warmth and casual charm. Balance these textures with a consistent palette, and the result feels elevated rather than chaotic. If you’d like to see curated options of fabrics designed for mixing and matching, see here .
