How to Choose Faux Fur Pillows, Terry Cloth Towels & Summer Blankets

Whether you are in the market for faux fur pillows, terry cloth towels, or a summer blanket, knowing the tips and tricks for selecting, styling, and maintaining each can help you make your home feel welcoming all year long.

How to Choose Faux Fur Pillows

To give bedrooms, living rooms, reading corners, and other rooms softness and texture, faux fur pillows are a hassle-free choice. They are soft and can help you create a cosy look without having to change a lot of things around in your interior.

Faux fur pillows come in all kinds of sizes, shapes, colors, textures and fillings so think about these when selecting. Consider how they'll fit into the current furnishings and other decorative pillows.

Use a variety of textures instead of too many of the same. A faux fur pillow will complement any soft materials, such as cotton or linen, velvet or other soft materials.

When you have pets or kids, you must also think about convenience in cleaning the pillow cover.

How to Style Faux Fur Pillows

• Use the biggest pillows and decorate with smaller pillows/lump pillows in the front.
  
  
• Use faux fur pillows as accent pieces, not as full pillows for all seats on a sofa.
  
  
• Use them in a bedroom to stack them up on larger sleeping pillows to add layers and depth.
  
  
• Light neutral colors can mix in with your current color palette, or darker or more vibrant colors will make a bold statement.
  
  
• Seasonal change of decorative pillows can also be done. Lighter fabrics can add a crisp and fresh look in the spring and summer, while the plush textures can add warmth in the fall and winter.
  

Finding the Right Terry Cloth Towels

The looped structure of terry cloth towels is favorable to absorb water and is soft and useful, so they are popular in bathrooms.

Key Factors to Consider When Selecting Towels

• Material
  
  
• Absorbency
  
  
• Size
  
  
• Thickness
  
  
• Drying time
  
  
• Durability
  
  
• Care requirements

The bath towel, hand towel and washcloth are all used for different things, and selecting the right size can make your bathroom experience more convenient.

The thicker the towel, the luxurious its feel might be, but it may also dry slower. If your bathroom is poorly ventilated, a lighter towel might be more suitable.

How to Properly Care for Terry Cloth Towels

The proper washing will keep towels soft and absorbent.

• Please always refer to the care label first.
  
  
• Do not use too many fabric softeners as they may impact the absorbency of towels.
  
  
• Don't put towels in the dryer while they are still damp.
  
  
• Try to hang them, if you can, in a well-ventilated area rather than on the ground or in a humid place.
  
  
• Regularly wash towels and don't overload the washing machine.
  

With the right care, you can enjoy your terry cloth towels for a longer time without compromising their comfort.

How to Select the Perfect Summer Blanket

A summer blanket should be warm enough in cooler nights and not be too warm in warmer nights.

Search for fabric that is weightless, breathable, and ideal for your climate and sleeping style.

Take into account the size, fabric, weight, construction and washing of the blanket.

If you are sleeping at night and using an air conditioner, it may be better to keep the unit just a bit warmer. If your bed is still warm, you may need a very light blanket.

Another factor to take into account is color and design, as your blanket can be an integral part of the décor of your bedroom.

Creative Ways to Style a Summer Blanket

You don't need to use a blanket just at nighttime in the summer. Use a summer blanket to turn the garden into a lush and inviting oasis.

• Fold it over the end of your bed for a simple decoration.
  
  
• One can also be stored on a sofa for cool nights or in a reading room.
  
  
• Select colors that match the color of your bed sheets and furniture.
  
  
• If you want a casual look, don't over-fold the blanket.
  

This neutral summer blanket can be used in various décor styles, and it can be paired easily with seasonal accessories.

Freshening Up Your Bedroom for the Summer

If you're planning to freshen up your bedroom for the summer, here are a few tips to help you get started:

• Firstly, use lighter fabrics instead of heavier bedding.
  
  
• Invest in a breathable summer blanket and avoid extra layers.
  
  
• There's also refreshing ways to "change the look" by switching decorative pillows and changing the bed covers for a new season.
  
  
• If you prefer to make the room feel lighter and brighter, opt for lighter hues.
  
  
• Before putting away heavier winter fabrics, wash bedding and decorative fabrics.
  
  
• Don't overhaul your bedroom; small changes will do.

How to Create a Coordinated Home

Repeat textures, colors and materials throughout the house, but not all the rooms will be the same.

For instance, faux fur pillows can make a cozy living room, and matching towels can give a sophisticated look to the bathroom. Complementary colors can then be added to the bedroom with a summer blanket.

At Fig Linens and Home you can find home textiles and accessories that can help add comfort and style to other parts of the home. When choosing products, think about how they can complement each other, and not just stick to the same material or color range.

Creating a Welcoming Guest Room

Some clever fabrics can help to welcome guests into a guest room:

• Have clean, absorbent terry cloth towels and have an extra set on hand.
  
  
• Offer a light summer blanket to guests to make their bed comfortable for their needs.
  
  
• Faux fur pillows are a great decorative element to enhance the bed or a nearby chair.
  
• Avoid clutter and select fabrics that are easy to clean.

Seasonal Home Textiles Storage Guidelines

• Wash and dry any seasonal items before storing them.
  
  
• Fold bedding and pillow covers and store in a clean and dry location.
  
  
• Don't store textiles when they are damp, as this will cause bad odors.
  
  
• Avoid packing winter clothes next to summer bedding if you want to change your clothes from season to season.
