Silk or velvet: Which is the best for a luxurious bedroom?

Your bedroom should be the most relaxing room in the house. This is the room where you should be able to shut out the rest of the world and devote some time to yourself, so why not give your bedroom a glamorous makeover with the most luxurious materials?

Luxury bedroom.
Both silk and velvet are synonymous with luxury and any room decorated with these fabrics will look very stylish. Beautiful fabrics can really add to a room: not only will they look lovely but they’ll also feel wonderfully sumptuous. These fabrics can be used in a variety of ways; you could simply use them as bed throws or you could have velvet curtains complemented by silk bedding. Some people have a sofa or chair in their bedrooms and there’s nothing more elegant than relaxing on a velvet covered chaise lounge at the end of a hectic day.

Bedroom inhabitants.
If younger family members invade your bedroom, make sure that they are aware that grubby fingers and velvet curtains don’t mix. A silk throw is relatively easy to clean and it will also give your bedroom a distinctive touch. If you are going for a neutral effect rather than a room with palpably feminine overtones you could always have a light coloured throw over a darker coloured duvet cover. If your room is decorated in light colours then try to achieve a contrasting look with a dark coloured velvet chair or sofa. Velvet curtains can look beautiful but they will dominate a smaller room, so silk curtains may be a better option.
