Your bedroom is the most personal space in your home. As such, you want the space to feel warm and inviting. You want to create a space that is both a sanctuary and an expression of your personality. One way to bring additional warmth to the room while infusing it with your own personality is to use fabrics in a variety of ways. Fabrics can be used sparingly, or they can play a more prominent role in your design. The fabrics you choose will help to define the design aesthetic for the entire room.
Upholstery
The most obvious use of fabric in your space is in your upholstered pieces. These pieces tend to be large, and that gives you the opportunity to make an impactful statement with your fabric choices. Depending on your design plan, your upholstered pieces can add neutrality or bold style to space.
Placing a chair or an ottoman in your room is an easy way to incorporate fabrics into your space. However, if your room is too small to house any furnishings other than a standard bedroom suite, you might consider an upholstered headboard as a way to add warmth as well as style to the bedroom. Any combination of upholstered pieces makes your room feel comfortable and inviting.
Drapery
When you think of drapery, it’s likely that you think about window coverings. Depending upon the statement you wish to make, you can choose curtains in a variety of styles, colors, and patterns. Some styles cover only the window while others are designed to flow majestically from the ceiling to the floor.
Draperies are not simply windowing dressings. Draperies can be used above or around the bed to give an elegant or romantic feel to your space. Light, flowing fabrics will provide a cooler sleeping environment than heavier choices should you choose to hang them around your bed.
Bedding
Sheets, blankets, quilts, duvets, comforters. There is a multitude of choices for bedding. Choosing appropriate bedding could perhaps be the easiest way to infuse your space with character and color. Whimsical patterns, florals, geometrics, stripes, plaids, and even solids are all available bedding choices. The traditional choice is to have all of the bedding matches both in color and pattern. Mixing patterns and colors give your space a more contemporary, even fun, look.
Pillows
Pillows are another way to add warmth, color, and pattern through fabric. A bed piled with pillows feels inviting. The impression is that the pillows lend comfort to the bed. You can purchase decorative pillows from a variety of retailers. A way to truly express yourself with your pillows is to have them custom made for your particular space. Custom work allows you to have more control over colors, patterns, size, and even the shape of the pillows in your room.
Carpet
The largest area that you typically find the fabric is the floor. Carpeting makes a bedroom feel warmer. Carpeting can also add a touch of color to your space. You have several options for carpeting. You can choose to have wall to wall carpeting installed in your bedroom. Wall to wall carpeting obviously covers the entire floor and is available in a variety of materials.
You can also choose to have area rugs in strategic places around your room. Area rugs come in a variety of styles and patterns. The rugs work with both hard flooring and with carpeting.
Final Thoughts
Fabric is an easy way to add color, warmth, and personality to your bedroom space. You can choose to incorporate it in subtle ways, or you can use it to make a bold, vibrant statement. Fabric is more than just bedding. Upholstery, draperies, carpeting, and even decorative pillows are all made from fabrics.
Choose colors, patterns, and fabrics that make you feel comfortable in your space. The more of your personality you infuse into your room, the more time you’ll want to spend in the room. Your room will become your sanctuary. See the best Design for your bedroom at Live enhanced.
