Using Fabrics for Soft Furnishing Accessories

Fabrics can be used for accessories to brighten up a tired colour scheme, or add some seasonal colour to a room. Cushions are the most popular accessories. Materials that have trended for cushions include fur, animal prints, silk and beads, sheer overlays, quilted, buttoned etc.

Cushions and throw pillows are a great way to add colour and texture to a room. You can use the same fabric on tie backs, or throws to balance the look. You can use the same fabric as the curtains but in a different colour, to add a new dimension to the room. Remember to use these patterns more than once in a room for a good visual appeal. You can also pick out a colour from the drapes and use that as your accent.  

The most important thing to remember is that you are using fabric to add texture and softness to a room. It also adds colour and creativity to the scheme as well as enhancing the style that you have created.

Using fabrics in a room, either as window treatments or upholstery helps to absorb sound. For example, there will be no echo when the home theatre is turned on if you have soft furnishing in the room.
