The Beauty of Textiles

Beautiful fabrics are a great way to update the look of any room – attractive bedspreads, handsome quilts and elegant comforters can make an ordinary bedroom look fantastic. The great thing about decorating with textiles is that it’s easy to transform the look of a room in minutes without investing in new paint, wallpaper or new furniture.

Update a drab bathroom with fabric or lace shower curtains and matching window panels. Even the simple change to a new bath mat can add a splash of color to a mundane bathroom; towels are the obvious choice for introducing a new color, pattern or print. Experts recommend replacing bathroom textiles on a regular basis to help prevent the spread of mold and mildew anyway so it’s a great way to justify a change. When investing in a new shower curtain be sure to replace the liner at the same time; look for mildew resistant models as the liner is frequently exposed to water and remains damp for an extended period of time.

Updating a bedroom requires little more effort than making the bed – a new bed ensemble can transform the look of a dull bedroom in minutes. Modern bed ensembles typically include a comforter or quilt, a bed skirt and decorative pillow shams; today’s home fashions tend to be eclectic so most bed ensembles feature prints and patterns which coordinate perfectly while not matching precisely. It’s easy to achieve a professionally decorated look when you invest in a bed ensemble and much simpler then trying to pull together all of the individual components yourself.
