When it comes to adding a touch of colour and livening up a room, nothing does the job better than soft furnishings. Whether it is curtains and blinds, or tiebacks and cushions, it is very easy to bring the beautiful colours of nature into your home all year round.
The spring months are all about using designs that reflect the new life developing in the natural world. Using light fabrics such as silk in yellow, blue and green colours work well and offer a sense of luxury.
During the summer months it pays to stick to light fabrics such as chiffon and a mixture of white and vibrant colours. White fabrics will help to reflect sunlight around your room, whilst vibrant colours such as red, purple and pink mimic the colours of your garden.
Using heavy fabrics during the autumn helps to keep out the cold while adding a sense of luxury to your room. Colours such as browns, golds and oranges reflect the falling leaves in the world outside.
Velvet curtains are perfect when it comes to keeping your room warm during the winter. Soft and snuggly, they look great when finished in colours such as rich reds, dark greens, chocolate browns and rich purples.
Whatever colours and materials you choose, be sure they complement the style your room and the furniture within it.
