Soft furnishings
are the accessories that you choose for the rooms in your house to help
co-ordinate the decor. They can include
anything from cushions, pillows and throws.
If you wanted to add soft furnishings to your kitchen for example, you
could make hard wooden chairs more comfortable by adding some padded cushions
to the seats. These cushions could be
covered in the same material as your kitchen curtains. You can buy cushions that have tabs or ties
which are used to secure them to the chairs.
When it comes to
soft furnishings
in your living room there are many options.
To add a decorative touch to the room you could throw cushions onto the
sofa. Choose a colour that contrasts the
colour of your sofa so they stand out from the sofa itself. These decorative cushions also look great in
the bedroom and can come in various shapes and sizes, such as heart shape,
round or in a bolster pillow. Throws are
another type of soft furnishing, you can have them folded over the end of the
bed or over a chair or sofa. They can
also double up as a blanket when you want to snuggle up and watch
television. The use of a rug or carpet
is also considered a soft furnishing and can completely change the feel of a
room and add a feeling of luxury.
There are
certain things you need to keep in mind when choosing your soft
furnishings. The most important is
co-ordination. Make sure your soft furnishings are co-ordinated with the colour
scheme of the room. Look at different
materials to add texture to a room. Be
aware of who is going to be using the room.
For instance if you have small children you may not want to choose light
colours or materials and covers that cannot be removed and washed. Cushion with zippered covers that can be
removed and are machine washable would be ideal in this situation.
Soft furnishings
are not expensive and you can change the whole look and feel of a room with a
few well placed soft furnishings. The
use of soft furnishings
can add character and mood to a room but be careful that they don’t become the
focal point of the room. If you want
