Soft Furnishings For Each And Every Season
Soft furnishings are perfect for livening up the home. They are available in a wide range of textiles and a kaleidoscope of colourings. Based on the soft furnishings you choose, you could make a home with a predominantly spring, summer, autumn or winter feel.
The soft furnishings themselves include everything from window coverings, cloth wall panels, seat covers and bed linen. You can buy cheaply or get some designer merchandise or of course combine.
For a springtime look the colourings need to be fresh to reflect the new life that the season brings. Colours will include daffodil yellow, the blue of a clear sky or a carpet of bluebells, and the green of fresh shoots and young leaves. Designs can be echoing of the natural world – things which remind you of new life – bunnies, newborn birds, young leaves and more. The fabric need to be relatively light – silk works well and add a touch of the luxury.
Summer is where you want the lightest textiles, both in weight and colour. Chiffon is good for this. Whites look good, especially white netting for the windows – as it billows in the breeze it is reminiscent of holidays in the sun. The white will also help reflect the light inside the room. A summer room can also take lots of colours to reflect the riot of colours going on in people’s gardens – bright poppy red, vibrant purple, hot fuchsia pink – you get the idea. Checked patterns are fantastic because they remind people of picnic rugs, and textiles with fresh flowers on are also very summery.
Autumnal rooms reflect the falling leaves and the earth returning to brown. Russets, gold and oranges are fantastic colours. Fabric becomes a bit heavier to keep out the cold and add a sense of luxury. A heavy Shantung silk will work well. Motifs on textiles could include mature leaves and nuts.
A winter season room will require quite heavy textiles to keep the warm in. Velvet will be perfect as it is also soft, snugly and luxurious and leather is likewise very good. Colours associated with Xmas go down well – rich red and dark green particularly. Chocolate brown is also a good winter colour as is a rich purple. Motifs can include holly, robins and other iconic Christmas time images or you might want to use bare trees.
Whatever soft furnishings you choose for a room, remember that because they aren’t permanent, they can effortlessly be changed. If you can afford it you can have a set of light curtains for spring/summer and some heavier ones for autumn/winter. You could also buy a few cushions that are particularly reminiscent of the season and swap them when the season has concluded. If you do that, remember to store the textiles suitably until the season comes around again the next year.
Keep in mind that whatever soft furnishings you choose, they need to go together with the home furniture and style of your room. If you have designer furniture, the fabric accessories should mirror that and if you have chunky pine furniture, they should be consistent with that.
Enjoy your accessorising….
