Bedrooms have always been my weakness when it comes to design and I have never been truly satisfied with the bedroom design and furniture I have come up with. There are so many beautiful ones out there. I especially love the all white looks in my bedroom. You cannot redo the entire bedroom specially the furniture so frequently. The most reasonable and worthy idea is to get a bed linens or to get colorful curtains. Linen by name spreads freshness.

They are available not just for adults but also for children with different beautiful colors. Image While shopping for linen, it’s always better to be aware about the type of fabric and weaves used. Cotton is the predominant fabric used to manufacture bed linens. Egyptian cotton is considered to be one of the most luxurious fabrics available for making bed linens. Other than Egyptian cotton, Polyester bed linens are the most economically priced, while silk, satin and Egyptian cotton is softer and more durable. Bamboo is one of the most recent fabrics to become available for bed linens which are Eco-friendly. Image

Thread count should be considered while selecting bed linens, but it should not be the only consideration. Softness and affordability are other factors related to purchasing linens. Thread count means how many threads go up and down to make one inch of woven fabric. Higher the thread counts, softer the fabric and more expensive the bed linens are.

About how to care, each linen you buy comes with specific instructions on it and one should follow it. You should never use harsh detergents for washing linen.

Valance – A little cash and your room is new again



Why I am so crazy about home décor is because in one way it reflects my individual style.It’s been a year and I was too bored with the décor of my home. I needed a change. I do pinning whole day to get a new idea about decorating my home.

Last time I got the new curtains and this time I planned to get the valance for the same and I was really excited to get one. I got it for the first time. I always do some kind of research before buying the same. Just a design at the top of your window can give a graceful look to you room.A little cash and a valance can become the focus of your room.

Different varieties of valances can give extra finishing touch to your home. Weather your home has a modern look or a traditional look, there is every type of valance available to suit your interior.  If you go for valance /Bed skirts , Valances are available in two styles, straight or shaped.
In case you are planning for base valance for bedroom, they are made straight and well as flared and provide a very decorative cover to your bed base.

The interior of my home is all white and I got a red valance for my bed base and for curtains as well which are again white. Trust me it gives an awesome look and just gives too romantic and fresh feel when I enter my bedroom.
Using a flare valance at your window will just give a frame look. It just gives a soft look to the room.

I have seen few people preferring only valance. Only valance means no curtains below. It does give an elegant look but you have to choose the color in particular that goes along or in contrast with the wall color. It gives a very clean look if done with proper guidance about color.

How about the valance matching with the bedding set. A neat idea isn't it?
There comes a different modern look valance named balloon valance. It depends on your other home interior which makes you judge about the balloon valance. If you go for a straight valance, it gives more traditional and elegant look.

Stepped valance, It’s a contemporary style which is not too fancy but it does gives simplicity to your room. Swag valance gives almost the similar feel.

Depending upon what works the best for you, you can either use the valance alone or with other blinds or shades.
