Using Quilts To Make A Bedroom Cozy
After a long, hard day, being able to retreat into a comfortable bedroom can help you to relax. Since you will notice the look of the room first, you should consider how it is decorated. If you want a cozy, snug environment, you might want to use quilts to add just the charming touch you need.
Buying a quilt set is a simple way to decorate the bed. For sizes larger than twin, the sets will normally include two shams and a quilt. Many of the 4 piece sets include a decorative toss pillow, but some may feature a dust ruffle instead. You can also purchase a complete collection that will include a sheet set to match.
You can easily find new quilt sets to fit any bed. When it comes to quilts for queen size beds or larger, it is next to impossible to find one that is truly antique. You will also seldom locate a set and normally will find only the quilt when shopping for antiques. If shams are desired, you normally can find some that will coordinate, possibly in a solid color.
Many impressive wall hangings are made from king quilts. You should not simply nail up quilts, however. Take a strip of material about 4 inches wide and hand stitch it to the back of the quilt near the top. Do not let the stitching go through to the front, but include the filling, or batting, material in your stitches. You can then insert a rod for hanging. Many use a decorative pole rod for this purpose.
Racks that hang on the wall provide an option for displaying quilts either permanently or overnight. The folded quilt hangs over the bar, and many styles have shelves above the bar to hold the pillows. There are also floor racks that let you drape the quilt as either a display or when not in use.
Proper cleaning can extend the life of your quilt. Antique ones should be professionally cleaned by someone with extensive experience. Some of the new ones can be washed in a machine, but they will turn out better if you use one without an agitator. Vacuum display quilts every few months so that the dust does not become embedded in the fabric. If you hang your quilts on a rack, refold them periodically so they do not develop fade or dust lines. Quilts may fade in direct sun, especially older ones, so if possible, rotate them two or three times a year to help preserve their color.
Quilts have been made for centuries to add beauty to the room and provide warmth at night. Initially, the tops were pieced together from whatever scraps were available. The main focus was on creating economical bedding for the family. Before long, the patterns became too numerous to count. While cotton was commonly used, more expensive fabrics such as velvet, satin, or combinations are also to be found. If the desire is to create a cozy, inviting room, quilts may provide the perfect accessory.
