Another use of fabric and textiles that is becoming more popular is the use of upholstered headboards.
There are two major benefits for headboards: price and space planning. If you’re itching to change your bed (which should be the focal point of any bedroom), simply putting in a new headboard is a fast, easy, and inexpensive makeover. Upholstered headboards give the illusion of having a complete bed frame without actually having one. Your bedroom furniture says a lot about your style and the way you live, it is important to get the right kind.
If you’re tight on space, headboards are perfect because they hardly take up any room. Every bed should have a piece of furniture to help the transition from the wall to the mattress more fluid.
Your bedroom should be your sanctuary. Considering how much time you spend in your bedroom, it’s really important that it be a relaxing space. Part of what goes into turning the bedroom into your perfect little escape is to create a calming atmosphere with the use of the bedroom furniture. Bedroom Furniture Direct has a great selection of bedrooms sets.
With everyone trying to save money, some crafty individuals even go the extra mile and construct their own upholstered headboards. Some manufacturers even allow you to customize the look of the headboard with monogramming or choosing custom fabric. By adding a chic-modern or brightly colored and funky upholstered headboard to the back of your bed, you can completely transform the look of your bedroom and get you one step closer to creating your special sanctuary.
Eco Living with style. Viva Terra has some great earthy-products. Their website says: “living earth is inspired by our dedication to living in harmony with nature - for a healthier life now and for future generations.” Nice Job.
While their lines do have an “earthy” feel to them, it’s pretty refreshing. I can see a lot of their furniture and accessories in second homes, like a cabin or beach home.
A good thing about change in seasons is the change in inventory stores go through. While out shopping the other day I learned that Anthropologie is having a sale on all upholstery…25% on everything. Z-Gallerie is also having a good sale. One thing to keep in mind when doing seasonal sales shopping is to buy something neutral that will last year-round.
Anthro’s Jayne Sofa is about $750 off the original price.
Z-Gallerie’s Leslie Bed-in which I am absolutely in love with (minus the metallic bedsheets)-is on sale as well. Prices vary according to size of bed.
And the item that inspired me to blog about this isn’t shown on Z-Gallerie’s website. Sorry, I can’t show ya’ll. It’s a beautiful, yellow, silk duvet cover. It’s only $100 for a king size duvet. It’s absolutely stunning, and the feel of the fabric is like butter. If I didn’t have to replace my windshield I would have bought it right one the spot. Without any husband approval. If your in the market for new bedding, I recommend going to their store in the Gateway. They’ve got some killer deals. Have a good weekend!
I love simple design and I love this contemporary, simple shelf design. Julien De Smedt Architects have designed a shelving system for Danish brand Muuto.
One I know it’s a Utah holiday, but if you’re like me holiday is another name for shopping day. Pier One is putting all their summer stock on sale. I’d check them if you get a chance, there are some great deals.
Would have been nice to have in my dorm at school. What seems like one small box is actually enough for an entire room. Couldn’t find the designer….sorry no credit.
Furniture Designer Paul Loebach has come up with a pretty interesting line. Vase Space is a neo-classic inspired line that incorporates three removable vases that flow smoothly into the table. Pretty intriguing.
Is that big dog bed of your taking up too much room? DenHaus has incorporated a dog/cat hide-away in with furniture. My little dog LOVES to go in little caves, and think she’d really enjoy this. The furniture can be used as nightstands or end tables.
Do I sip from it or sit on it? You decide. Rainer Spehl has come up with some cool seating. The quoffe cup is a piece that can be used for seating, storage, and kid enjoyment.
