Other accents include ornaments and trinkets spread on a bookshelf.  

Light fixtures — from small bedside lamps to larger ones placed on the floor — can also add texture to a space, as well as mirrors, large and small.

Houseplants can also be a great way to add texture to a home. Small houseplants can be placed on a coffee table or bookshelves and larger ones can be placed in a corner of any given room. You can also add texture to your walls with hanging houseplants. 

If you have hardwood floors, adding a small cozy rug, or more around the home can also be a way to add texture.
