Simple Ways to Use a Quilt Set to Make a Guest Bedroom Feel Like Home
Regardless of the size of your budget or the season, a new down comforter, handmade quilt, or blanket can dress a room in splendor. These simple extras can be used as the building block for any room in the house. That’s right; comforters, quilts, and blanket sets aren’t just for bedrooms any more! With just a small investment and a bit of creativity, you can make every room in your home unique and inviting.
Plan Around the Seasons
First, choose the material that you want your comforter set, handmade quilt, or blanket to be made from. This should reflect the season appropriately so that heavier materials and darker colors are reserved for fall and winter months while colors of a lighter hue and coverings that aren’t too heavy are perfect for summertime and springtime. Goose-feather-filled bedding is perfect for those colder nights and helps you and your family stay comfortable inside, regardless of what the temperature is outside. A cotton-lined bed cover with a thinner layer of poly fill or batting is perfect for the spring and summer nights.
Making a Dramatic Change with Little Impact on Your Wallet
If you’re working with limited finances, you can still make any room in your home feel like you’ve spent thousands on redecorating. The best accompaniments to a new down comforter or bed quilt is a new coat of paint and some decorative pillows. Enough paint to cover a standard room will cost only about $20 to $30. Try and choose colors from your down comforter, handmade quilt, or fleece blanket that complement, but don’t exactly match, your wall color. When you force everything to match, it makes the elements meld together into one boring color palette. Nevertheless, if you choose a color for your walls that is in the same color family, but slightly lighter or darker than your bedding accessories, the room will really pop. You can find discount prices on decorative pillows with all kinds of tassels and trims for less than you think! Check online for sets of multiple pillows that will go with your color scheme and you’ll save a ton of money by buying more than one at a time.
Every Room Can be Made Extra Special
Finally, find some great sheets to buy that match your new bed coverings. If you bought a set that came with sheets already, purchase a spare set for each room in a similar color to keep the room looking fresh and new all year long. You can dress up a couch with a gorgeous throw that serves 2 functions; beautification and warmth. A handmade quilt that is a family heirloom can be proudly displayed on any wall to keep fond memories alive and doubles as an interesting addition to the room. With a bit of money and creativity, you can effortlessly make any living room, bedroom, or spare room into a glorious escape.
