Luxury Soft Furnishings: Perfect Way to Make Your Bedroom Look Warm and Cozy
Author: Ayman Gaballah
Soft furnishings are a classic way to update the look of your space without an expensive renovation. It is possible to completely change the look and ambience of a room simply by mixing or changing up your soft furnishings. You will be surprised at the way a new rug and some colorful cushions can enhance feel of your space, turning your once drab room to luxurious, comfortable haven. Here are some interesting ways to upgrade your bedroom with some useful tricks in styling your soft furnishings:
- Consider a monochromatic mix – A classic black and white scheme is an easy way to modernize any space. This is especially true for those who prefer a sleek, clean, minimalist look with an urban edge. By choosing fabrics in an interesting assortment of patterns and textures, it is easy to keep your overall look fresh and bold. Plain white or plain black cushions combined with patterned pieces are excellent additions to any bed or corner couch setting. Adding a shelf with a collection of black and white prints, photographs, on a rather bare back wall will also amp up your theme. Monochromatic soft furnishings are best paired with furniture in dark wood tones. For a warmer ambiance, white rugs, throws, and carpets are nice additions as they help soften the look.
- Use multi-textured beddings – Adding sumptuous layers of textured fabrics will add comfort, softness, and coziness to bedrooms. Once you have chosen a desired color palette, start looking for sheets and quilts that are within the color scheme that you want. Start with crisp cotton sheets and then keep on adding soft layers, from the thinnest to the thickest. It’s easy to overdo beddings, so make sure you have just enough pieces that will not overpower your bed. Some crisp sheets, a blanket, bedspread, and a quilt will just be enough to achieve the layered look you want. Look for fabrics with soft textures like velvets, knits, and embroidery and throw-in some feel-good materials like mohair, chunky knit, or velour.
- Animal prints are still a trend and it’s not too late to get on the craze if you wish to keep changing up your bedroom style. Faux animal prints add warmth, texture, and a touch of luxury on the simplest furniture. The work equally well in bedrooms, living areas, and family rooms, but be sure to use them sparingly as too many pieces may be an overkill and make you lose the classy impact you are going for.
