1. cuddly pillow:
Furnishing without fabrics? That would be pretty cool. From covers to plaids: Fabrics touch the senses and provide a sense of well-being in many ways.
material
Soft, elegant and slightly shiny is the trend material velvet, which once adorned royal houses - even today the noble fabric is in demand. Beautiful style break combo: velvet cushions in warm autumn colors to graphic prints and simple furniture.
colour
Optical highlights: Whether colorful, plain, square, round - cushions of all sizes, shapes and colors change the look of a room and find space everywhere, for example in bed, on the sofa or on the floor. Ideal for fast and cheap repurposing.
matter
Bed linen should be well chosen. Linen and cotton are particularly easy to care for, very supple and luxurious is silk. You like it a little rougher? Furniture, cushions and other flatmates now wear fine satin, cashmere or merino. Rustic and very nice to touch is wool felt, which gives comfort to stylish rooms.
A little tutoring? Substances bleach quickly in sunlight, but also under artificial light sources. For refreshing textile dye is suitable. If you want to recolor fabrics, you should pay attention to the mixing rules - blue on red, for example, purple.
2. Mineral resources:
The carpet is back! Knocked out of the dust of recent decades, he impresses today with new designs - and has much else to offer.
Carpet Trends
Stacked goods: 'Layer-Look' is the name of a fashion trend that is now coming home. This is how it works: laying several carpets side by side or on top of each other - in various sizes, colors and different materials. Do not choose too bulky objects to avoid pitfalls.
More than functional: Carpets with a colorful look and / or eye-catching designs are statements that can become the decorative centerpiece of an entire room. In the trend: modern, but also playful motives and newly created classics such as the Persian Oriental rug.
Spot
Good place: Before you buy a carpet, it makes sense to clarify its future location. If he is lying in the hallway, where everyone really walks over, we recommend a smooth carpet made of easy-care synthetic fiber. If you want to walk on bare feet on it - in the bedroom, for example - it is very florid.
Small islands: Carpets define functional areas in the room, for example, delineate the dining area or create a cuddly reading area with sofa, armchair and coffee table. Tip: The carpet should be so big that there is enough space between the furniture.
material
Carpet materials influence the 'temperature' of a room: jute and sisal create a casual ambience, silk and chenille models look elegant, skins and wool extra cuddly. New and very special is wood made of veneer segments, which can be shaped into a sculpture.
3. Window decoration:
Transparent curtain or striking patterned curtain? Both are a matter of taste - but again announced.
Curtains trend
Train by train: Very versatile are smooth sliding curtains. They make something individually and as a group, protect against the sun, serve as a room divider or wall decoration. Tip: Fabrics with a vertical pattern make lower rooms look higher.
Safe stop: Heavy curtains should be attached to a wooden or metal curtain rail. An additional eye-catcher: rods with decorative end pieces. For lighter fabrics, a rail is enough - handy if you want to run curtains over the corner.
Easy hanging: Discreetly in the background are cable systems that are back in fashion after their boom in the 80s and are available in many designs, for example as a cord? Ideal for a modern look, such as with transparent fabrics.
What you need to know about curtains:
- The fabric width results from the window width. In addition, you should add 15 to 20 centimeters per side, so that there is no gap between the wall and the curtain.
- Long curtains visually stretch the room; If there is a heavy curtain on the floor, it feels cozy.
- Curtains, which are one to two centimeters off the floor, seem relaxed and modern.
- Dense curtains should hang from the side of the heater to prevent heat loss.
- Transparent models can hang in front of it, but it should be ten to 15 centimeters away, so that the fabric can fall straight.
- It is very important to never put curtains and curtains in the dryer!
