Selecting Your Furnishings

Rugs

Rugs tie the entire room together, covering the flooring you’d normally see between furniture. Bedroom rug ideas range from varied colors to different textures, so don’t restrict yourself. Macrame rugs add to the simplicity of earthy tones, while colorful braided rugs reflect the fun of whimsical rooms.

Curtains

Apart from functionality, curtains have an aesthetic value as well. Sheer curtains lend a breezy, romantic touch, while thick drapes block out light. Lighter colors give off a summery vibe, but deeper tones lend a sense of elegance and drama.

Thick drapes are perfect for the searing Indian summer.

Throws

A throw can add a touch of luxury, transforming your house into a home. The best part? Just fling it over a bed or armchair since there’s no ‘correct’ way to place it.

Cushions

When it comes to a bedroom cushion, ideas range from small sequined cushions to large patterned cushions – there’s plenty to choose from! Bright cushions add pops of color to monochromatic rooms, while richly colored ones add to the elegance of traditionally styled rooms.

Bed Linen

Thanks to the choice between patterns, styles, fabrics, and textures, bed linen can help you bring the entire look of your room together. Make sure you strike a balance between how eye-catching your bed linen is and how many other soft furnishings you have.

Even a few furnishings can make a difference!

Soft Furnishings Through The Seasons

The perfect addition to your bedroom ideas, soft furnishings can bring about a complete transformation. A room without them can have fancy light fixtures and coordinated colours, but it’ll still lack a certain something.

Soft furnishings add that extra oomph, giving your room some personality, and they help you plan bedroom decor ideas according to the season. You can simply switch them out to match the weather and your vibe. Your room will perpetually show off the latest bedsheet design and the best bedroom linen ideas without breaking the bank. Try to do all your shopping from one place, so that your soft furnishings are that much more coordinated.

Tips On Storing Soft Furnishings

  • Clean your soft furnishings before you pack them up to keep them in good condition. Add moisture absorbers while you pack, particularly to save them from the monsoon moisture.
  • Curtains, linen, and throws should be neatly folded into plastic bags and sealed, after which you can put them into boxes. Rugs need to be rolled up and put into either a cylindrical container or a large plastic bag.
  • Cushions should go into plastic bags and then into larger boxes. Ensure you don’t overpack by squishing them!
  • If you’re using under-bed storage, make sure you’re not squeezing too many furnishings together. If storing in an almirah, add in a few more moisture absorbers.
