Secrets to Dressing up Any Room with New Quilt or Comforter
November 29, 2009
Regardless of the size of your budget or the season, a new comforter set, handmade quilt, or electric blanket can make a room go from ordinary to fabulous. These seemingly simple embellishments can be used as the building block for any room in the house. That’s right; bed coverings can serve a greater purpose than just keeping us warm! With a little cash and a whole lot of imagination, you can make every room in your home unique and inviting.
Plan Around the Seasons
First, choose the material that you want your comforter set, handmade quilt, or electric blanket to be made from. This should reflect the season appropriately so that heavier materials and darker colors are reserved for autumn and winter while colors of a lighter hue and coverings that aren’t too heavy are perfect for summertime and springtime. Goose down is a wonderful type of filler material for the colder months and helps you and your houseguests to feel warm and cozy, no matter how treacherous the weather might be outside. A cotton-lined bed cover with a thinner layer of poly fill or batting is perfect for the higher temperatures.
Designing on a Budget
If you’re working with limited finances, you can still make any room look like you hired a professional decorator. The best accompaniments to a new comforter set or quilt is a new coat of paint and some decorative pillows. Enough paint to cover a standard room will cost only about $20 to $30. Try and choose colors from your comforter set, handmade quilt, or fleece blanket that complement, but don’t exactly match, your wall color. When your decoration matches everything perfectly, it makes the elements meld together into one boring color palette. Nevertheless, if you choose a color for your walls that is in the same color family, but slightly lighter or darker than your bedding accessories, the room will really pop. You can find discounted accent pillows with all the trimmings for less than you think! Look online for bulk sets of accent pillows and you’ll save a ton of money by buying a set.
Every Room Can be Made Extra Special
Finally, find some great sheets to buy that match your new bed coverings. If your bed set already came with some sheets, purchase a spare set for each room in a similar color to keep the room looking fresh and new all year long. You can dress up a sofa with a warm throw, such as one made of chenille, and you’ll have a warm (and beautiful) place to relax. A handmade quilt that is a family heirloom can be proudly displayed on any wall to keep fond memories alive and doubles as an interesting addition to the room. With a bit of imagination and time, you can effortlessly make any area in your home somewhere truly amazing.
