Even with the restrictions of a small budget, a new duvet cover, bed quilt, or wool blanket can dress a room in splendor. These simple extras can be used as the foundation to redecorating any room in the home, including the living room or family room. That's right; bed coverings can serve a greater purpose than just keeping us warm! With just a small investment and a bit of creativity, you can make all of the areas in the house warm and welcoming.
Make Everyone More Comfortable All-Year Long
First, choose the material that you want your down comforter, bed quilt, or wool 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 lightly colored and less-dense coverings are more appropriate for spring and summer. Goose-feather-filled bedding is perfect for those colder nights and helps you and your houseguests to feel warm and cozy, no matter how treacherous the weather might be outside. A thinner covering is perfect for the spring and summer nights.
Design on a Budget Can Be Simple
If you're working with limited finances, you can still make any area of your home look like a million bucks. What goes best with a new duvet cover or bed quilt is a coat of beautiful paint in the room and new decorative pillow accents. To change the paint on the walls, a small investment of only about $25 is needed. Select colors for your wall that will highlight, but not exactly match, your new wool blanket, duvet cover, or bed quilt. When you force everything to match, it makes the components look like it's one boring shade. However, if you choose a similar color family, but not the exact same hue as the color scheme of the bedding and pillows, the the wall and the accents will compliment each other. You can find discounted accent pillows with all the trimmings for less than you think! Search the Internet for the best deals on sets of decorator pillows and you'll save a ton of money by buying more than one at a time.
How to Get Every Room to Shine
Finally, purchase new sheets in a luxurious fabric to compliment your bedding set. If you bought a set that came with sheets already, purchase a spare set for each room in a color that compliments the room and you'll never get bored with the room. You can dress up a sofa with a warm throw, such as one made of chenille, and you'll have a warm (and beautiful) place to relax. A bed quilt that is a family heirloom can be a wonderful opportunity to remember someone you love by hanging their creation on a wall. With a little TLC and a small budget, you can effortlessly make any area in your home somewhere truly amazing.
