What are the Different Types of Soft Furnishings?

What are soft furnishings? It’s simple! Soft furnishings are items generally made to enhance both the comfort and the aesthetic appeal of a room, be it a living area or a business space. Though they may also come with practical uses too. Soft furnishings include cushions and pillows, bean bags, or curtains, and even towels, quilts and blankets. Let’s take a quick look at the different types of soft furnishings and what they can add to your space!  

Curtains 

Curtains, of course, allow us to control the flow of light into a room. This is especially true of blackout curtains. However, they do so much more than that! Curtains also help set the mood of the room, so choosing the right curtains is key. They can either subtly compliment the rest of the soft furnishings in your space or contrast strikingly, to suit your preference. Browse our range of wholesale curtains to find your ideal fit. 

Cushions 

Cushions can help a room really feel more homely and comfortable. This can be invaluable when refurbishing a hotel or student accommodation for example. Using different cushion designs season-by-season can help keep your space looking fresh. 

Bean bags & pouffes 

Bean bags or pouffes are generally used to add comfort to a space. However, they can also have the added benefit of shaping how someone perceives the room. For example, an office space with bean bags in a particular corner is likely to convey a more casual feel. Conversely, a flat pouffe in a hotel or in a restaurant waiting area, is a slightly more formal soft furnishing that still adds comfort to the space. 

Blankets, quilts & duvets 

Blankets are typically made of a single layer of fabric, though materials vary greatly. Whichever one you choose, they can be draped over a sofa, armchair or bed for an extra layer of style and warmth. A quilt is similar, though possesses multiple layers, while a duvet boasts a thicker filling in the middle layer. Of course, we can’t forget the cosmetic appeal. Beautiful wholesale bedding offers a real sense of luxury to impress even the most discerning guests. 

Rugs 

The right rug can really bring a room to life! There are many different textiles to choose from. Whether it’s silk and cotton or synthetic materials such as nylon, each material offers something different in terms of function and feel. Some rugs are primarily cosmetic in function, whereas others, such as our non-slip wholesale bathroom rugs, offer practical benefits too.
