How to introduce fabric into your home?

It’s probably going to be your biggest fabric investment, so picking the right sofa is an important interior decor decision. While there are lots of fabric types and styles to choose from, if you’re going to accessorise your sofa with further fabric pieces, pick a sofa that’s on the plainer side – think cream linen or rich blue velvet. Both sofa designs are durable, but making a pared-back choice means you won’t have to worry about fabric or pattern clashes when adding a statement fabric throw or a red striped cotton cushion.

When it comes picking a throw – whether it’s for your living room or bedroom – the most important thing to consider is how you intend to use it. If it’s for decorative purposes only, a lightweight fabric like this pom pom cotton throw, or one made of linen, will work as well as heavier fabrics. Pick a plain colour – like this simple blue throw – if your room’s already busy. Or, use your throw to increase your room’s energy by picking a patterned fabric, like this patterned wool throw. Wool throws are best for those who want function as well as form: they’re heavier in weight, and will keep you warm while adding to your space’s aesthetic.
