Quilts Can Be A Beautiful, Functional Option

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.

It is not difficult to find modern quilt sets for any size of bed. Rarely, however, will you be able to find an heirloom or antique set for a queen or king. It is even less common to find a set, and you will normally only be able to purchase an antique quilt. If you want shams, you can buy new ones, perhaps in a solid shade, that will match your quilt.

Quilts can also look inviting when displayed on the wall. King quilts can cover a lot of space and make nice backdrops when hung at the head of a bed. Do not use nails to hang your quilts, however. Stitch a rod pocket on the back of the quilt, sewing it on by hand and limiting the stitching to the back and filling. A pocket about four inches wide allows you to insert a rod to hang the quilt. Some people use ornate curtain rods to mount their quilts on the wall.

Wall mounted quilt racks allow you to create a display that can be permanent or temporary. All you do is fold the quilt and hang it across the bar, and some feature a shelf to hold pillows. A floor stand can also be used to drape a quilt across for either decoration or temporary storage.

You can extend your quilt’s life with careful cleaning. Have antique quilts cleaned by a professional who has experience with vintage fabrics. Some modern ones can be laundered by machine, but one that does not have an agitator is safest. Vacuum those you have on display three or four times a year so that dust will not penetrate into the material. Those that are hung on racks should also be refolded occasionally to prevent dust and fade lines. Keep quilts out of the sun, particularly if they are antiques, and try to rotate your displays a couple of times yearly to help save the color.

For hundreds of years, people have used quilts for warmth, beauty, or both. In bygone days, women pieced the tops from scraps or old clothing, primarily to provide the family with inexpensive warmth for the bed. Over time, hundreds of patterns have been created and preserved, and fabrics run the gamut from cotton to satin and velvet. For anyone who wants a charming, cozy bedroom, quilts can be just the right finishing touch.
