Textiles in the home

Each of us wants to rest and relax after a busy working day full of different events and meetings. Office or hotel rooms can be very nice and comfortable but you are only able to completely switch off from your everyday life and problems in a really snug home. Modern windows will provide you fresh air and quietness, secure doors will give you feeling of protection and shelter, leather armchairs and a floor lamp will change your mood. But what does it mean to be warm and fuzzy?

 

Try to remember any place that you feel comfortable – grandma’s house, where you spent your childhood or an old cabin or dacha full of treasures and discoveries. Definitely, in the memory will pop up a festive tablecloth taken out of the family chest only for the most important occasions, or a cozy warm blanket or throw in which you can wrap yourself up in or perhaps lacy napkins on the table. These are just that kind of little thing, which at the first glance, helps you to create your own, unique home sweet home, where you always want to return.

 

Not everyone is ready to fill their home interior with embroidered pillows and bold prints, but there are few homes without curtains and rugs. These touchstones of home textile are appropriate even if there are modern blinds on the windows and laminated flooring in the house. Because these things first and foremost decorative and not just practical.

 

Light, short drapes fit for the kitchen and more heavy and dense portieres – for bedroom or living room where it’s so comfortable to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you don’t like very much big carpets covering full space, choose small bedside mats in the bedroom or an original area rug near the sofa in the living room. Bright carpets and couple of colour-matched curtains and furnishings will transform even the most ascetic interior into a stylish and cozier home. If a plastic tablecloth wins the garland of functionality in the kitchen, on the dining table, even with expensive wood countertop, a tablecloth should appear from time to time. Linen tablecloths are fit for family dinners, silk –for romantic ones, wonderful starch tablecloths for more formal receptions and colourful cotton for a childrens’ party. After all, it’s just these small accents that let you show to the guests how important they are for you and how carefully you have prepared to their visit. And in the same time it will hint your family that tonight is special. Suitable napkins and beautiful settings will definitely fix your reputation of a welcoming host with impeccable taste.

Не каждый готов включить в свой интерьер вышитые подушечки и ивановские ситцы, но нет такого дома, где были бы неуместны шторы и ковёр. Эти «альфа и омега» домашнего текстиля придутся впору даже там, где на окнах висят современные жалюзи, а на полу лежит паркетное покрытие. Ведь функция подобных вещей, прежде всего, не практическая, а декоративная. Лёгкие, короткие занавески будут уместны на кухне, а более основательные и плотные портьеры — в спальне или гостиной, где так хочется отдохнуть от суеты внешнего мира. Если Вас смущает ковёр, занимающий большую площадь комнаты, остановите свой выбор на небольших прикроватных ковриках в спальне или оригинальной дорожке возле дивана в гостиной. Постелив на пол яркий коврик и добавив пару созвучных по цвету деталей в обстановку, можно сделать стильным и вместе с тем уютным даже самый аскетичный интерьер.

 

Soft and smooth to the touch bedspreads hide from prying eyes the most personal part of any house –the bed. A couple of pillows in contrasting or perhaps colours matching the bedspread will generate the warm atmosphere that should be in the bedroom.

 

A canopy bed with curtains is one more detail native to Middle Ages that was deservidly discarded in the age of technical progress now returns back step by step into our lives now. It’s not always a bulky wooden structure with dark heavy velvet curtains, that immediately comes into mind. Even anti-mosquito netting can work as bed curtains hung from the ceiling to the corners of the bed and lace drapes on the sides separating symbolically bed zone from the rest space. In the children’s room you can let your imagination run free and decorate a coloured sheer fabric or toile canopy screen with textile butterflies or flowers, this task is easy for any young designer. Every girl will feel herself a real fairy tale princess sleeping on such canopy bed.

 

In the living room several pillows should be definitely settled on the couch with the whole family relaxing watching movies or looking at family photo albums  in the evening. The sweetest dreams, perhaps after lunch or reading a book, are very often caught on the couch under a soft, smooth blanket or throw. If you cover the armchair with the same blanket, throw or knitted bedspread, you can transform familiar furnishing in the blink of the eye. By adding these little but significant touches in the interior of your house you will notice how much more pleasing it is to return home, how warmer and cozier becomes the spirit. Every guest crossing the threshold of your house will comment: “What a lovely welcoming, warming and snug home!”

 

It’s very important to care for home textiles properly and to give it to dry cleaning on time. Better not to wash interior pillows and other soft goods in the washing machine: they could lose colour, or some attached accessories. We also recommend not to clean or wash natural wool fabrics at home, because they require special delicate treatment.
