Practical Considerations

Don’t forget practical aspects, especially when it comes to wear and tear; there are important considerations and questions you need to ask yourself. For example, what will the room be used for? Who will be using it? Are there children using the room? The answer will help you to make some of the more practical decisions. Loose covers that can be put in the washing machine are a good option if you have young children or teenagers. Stain-protection finishes are another option, but make sure they conform to fire regulations. Perhaps the most important practical consideration, however, is that the furniture you choose needs to be comfortable, especially if it will get a lot of use.




1. Classic combinations: simple and effective, blue and white fabrics work brilliantly together and suit many styles of decor.









2. New naturals: soft furnishings in neutral tones are easy to live with and will work in any room. Creamy, natural shades have softness and warmth while darker tones like coffee and chocolate shades add depth and contrast.









3. Fresh florals: there is an enormous range of floral fabrics to choose from and, depending on the design you choose, they can be adapted to fit in with traditional or contemporary room schemes.










4. Pretty pastels: the pastel palette is a delight to work with, and you can mix and match a number of different hues without the effect becoming overpowering.











5. Bold brights: rich colours bring drama to a room. Although they are most popularly used for dining areas and children’s rooms, don’t shrink from using them in sitting rooms or bedrooms.
