What’s Hot In Soft Furnishings
SOFT FURNISHINGS ARE ANYTHING MADE OF FABRIC FOR THE HOME — LIKE WINDOW TREATMENTS, CUSHIONS, PILLOWS, BEDDING AND TABLE LINENS.
Soft furnishings add the elements of color, pattern, and texture to a space while softening the hard lines of case goods, tile, cabinetry, and flooring. They can perform a function like light control or UV protection, or simply be added for style and appearance.
Drapery
Adding drapery to a window softens and frames the view, but drapery can also be used inside a room. This cartridge pleated room divider is made of six different colors of velvet and separates the workspace from the sleeping space in this loft. (Elizabeth Butler Interiors)
Valances
Using tailored valances, like this box pleat valance, is a great way to display the pattern or motif. Valances can also hide a functional blind or shade underneath. (Vanita Laurito Designs)
ROMAN SHADES
Roman shades offer privacy and light control. They can be raised and lowered while adding the element of fabric. And there are oh so many ways to embellish roman shades. This one has tape trim and a shaped hem. (Janis Reed Interiors) CUSHIONS: Mattress edge cushions have the timeless appeal of handcrafted dimpled edges with soft tufting. They have a casual, plush look that is less structured than a standard boxed cushion. (AB Williams Design)
OTTOMANS
Need extra seating? You don’t have to stick with a rectangular ottoman. These flower shaped ottomans add curves and color. (West End Interiors & Old Growth Handcraft)
