Fabric for window seat

4 years ago

Hi I would love some help. I have decorated my tv room using Ralph Lauren Crawford wallpaper in stone and paintwork is Farrow and Ball Trenon. I am stuck with what fabric to use for my large window seat. I don’t want it to matchy and can’t decide on a colour or fabric, ideally I would like an embroidered fabric as my cats can’t do too much damage to this. Any advise would be gratefully received, thank you.

For a kitchen, my favorite is a roman shade. It gives you the beauty of fabric with the function of a shade.

Hi there, First of all, what a lovely space - the floor tiles are a really gorgeous feature! With these windows, it really is up to you. Shutters are fantastic for creating a clean, uncluttered feel, while, as Colourhappy says, a Roman blind is a great way to add a luxurious feel. Both create a classic look that will never go out of style. Alternatively, as you say, curtains are a gorgeous choice. Floor length curtains would create a real sumptuous look, but you may want to consider how this might block your radiator, especially if you intend to open and close them regularly. If you'd like some more inspiration on shutters, curtains or Roman blinds, you might like to have a look at our handy guides here: http://www.hillarys.co.uk/inspiration/2014/09/five-fabulous-ways-to-use-stunning-shutters-in-your-home/ http://www.hillarys.co.uk/inspiration/new-roman-blinds-and-curtains/ Good luck with your project, and make sure you show off that stunning floor!

I have to agree that glass film is brilliant- we used Purlfrost online. You can either pre measure and they will cut for you you or you can buy a piece and cut to your own specs. It arrives rolled in a tube. We've done two rooms- the living room with full frost and the other, a bedroom- with just the bottom half of the window covered which looks pretty modern and sharp. It was supposed to be a temporary solution till we got shutters organised but it looks so effective and fresh that we've decided to save the small fortune that shutters cost! The help line was great- they recommended leaving a gap around the edge near the frame for a beveled glass effect which did actually work! You can get different levels of opaqueness - we used the less opaque for more light but still private- or patterns or stained glass effect. Its really easy to apply yourself too, and apparently comes off with no damage to the glass at all, so good if. Works out really economical as well. Can you tell I'd recommend it?! :)

Hi Denny1234. Your window seat will be a feature in the room so it's great that you don't want it to be too matchy-matchy. You've chosen earthy tones for your room and I think almost any of the Vanessa Arbuthnott fabrics will give you a range of colour and pattern to choose from - see example image - the weave of these fabrics is close and great quality so they will stand quite rough treatment, (I'd avoid embroidered fabrics if you have cats). And I think almost all her patterns will work with the pattern you've chosen for the wallpaper. Your local curtain and fabric shop will make the window seat for you. You could use a piece of co-ordinating Ralph Lauren fabric as piping!
