Home Decorating with Custom Quilts

Written on April 29, 2008 – 5:32 pm | by Staff |

Cuddling up with a quilt is one of life’s simple pleasures. A good book, a cup of hot chocolate, a roaring fire- the picture just is not complete without a comfy quilt to wrap yourself in. But quilts can be so much more. Including custom quilts as part of your home decor is one way to add warmth to your home. In addition to the obvious benefits of color and pattern, quilted fabric accessories add comfort to the rooms.

Most homes today have high ceilings in the living room which makes the home feel spacious but sometimes leave it feeling a little cold too. It can also be hard to find artwork that is big enough to balance the big walls and make the space feel welcoming and homey. An oversized quilt can be the answer. With its considerable size, it can fill a blank wall as well as giving a splash of color to the room. An added bonus with using quilts is that it is much cheaper compared to the prize of a painting of equal size.

The family room got its name because it is the room that the family comes together in. It is where the family relax and talk about their day. Having quilted curtains will add warmth to the room. A colorful quilt draped across a table will also add color to the room.

Whether you are sitting down for a quick bite, a romantic meal or a Thanksgiving feast, consider dressing your dining room table with a table runner to match the spirit of the moment. It’s not only one of the best ways to add a little color and cheer, but a quilted table runner or table cloth can protect your table from hot dishes and accidental spills, too.

Nothing can be better than getting ready for a good night’s sleep than by slipping under a quilted bed cover. Having brightened your room all day, it now offers comfort and warmth for the cold night ahead. Aside from this, bed toppers add fun and zest to your bedroom. These smaller quilts which are designed to coordinate with your existing comforter can be made in various colors or themes. It is an easy way to freshen a bedroom.

From the minute you bring baby home, you want your precious new family member to know he is wrapped in love. From a quilted blanket, a quilted crib set to quilted toys, it will complete the picture of love that you shower your little one.

The bathroom is probably the last place you will expect to see a quilt. But why not? A quilt will make a unique, colorful and sophisticated shower curtain. Just remember to use a plastic liner.
