Using Quilts To Make A Bedroom Cozy
Retreating to a relaxing bedroom can be an effective remedy to the stresses of the day. You will see the furnishings before you have an opportunity to experience them, so paying attention to the room's decor can be important. Many people who want to achieve a cozy feeling use quilts to add a touch of charm.
One easy method to begin decorating the room is to purchase a quilt set. For full size beds and larger, the set will usually have two shams and, of course, one quilt. A four piece set may also add a throw pillow, although some make a dust ruffle the fourth piece. Complete bed collections usually feature matching sheets as well.
New quilt sets can be found to fit every bed size. It is rare, however, to locate a complete antique or heirloom set. Most of the time, you will only be able to find just the quilt and seldom will you find one larger than a full bed size. You can buy shams, such as in a solid color, that will coordinate with these quilts if you need shams.
King quilts make dramatic wall hangings when used as a display. Never just nail a quilt to the wall, however. Stitch a case around four inches in width along the top back of the quilt. Sew it by hand so that you can keep the stitches confined to just the back and center filling material. After inserting a rod, such as a fancy curtain rod, hang the rod.
Wall racks let you display your quilt on either a permanent or nightly basis. The quilt is folded and then placed over a bar, and some racks have an upper shelf for the pillows. Floor racks are used to display a gracefully draped quilt when it is not needed or even as a decorative display.
Quilts need special attention when it comes to cleaning. Antique quilts should be cleaned only by a professional with experience in old fabrics. Many newer ones are machine washable, but do best in a front loading machine. Quilts on display should be vacuumed periodically to prevent dust from becoming embedded. Change the position of quilts hung on a rack to prevent dust or fade lines. Keep quilts out of direct sunlight or they can fade, especially the antique ones, and consider rotating them occasionally to protect them.
Quilts have been made for centuries to add beauty to the room and provide warmth at night. Initially, the tops were pieced together from whatever scraps were available. The main focus was on creating economical bedding for the family. Before long, the patterns became too numerous to count. While cotton was commonly used, more expensive fabrics such as velvet, satin, or combinations are also to be found. If the desire is to create a cozy, inviting room, quilts may provide the perfect accessory.
accent wall and other 3 walls should be what color in the living room?
what color should I accent one wall in the living room/ drapes are dusty rose w/maroon trim.Red pine floors with persian carpet and deep maroon couch, one solid color and one tapestry with same tones.
A light to medium warm khaki color would be nice, then a dark warm khaki for the accent.
