India Ink: Tips For Decorating with Quilts

Plush. Soft. Textured. Bright. Muted. Elaborate. Plain. These are just some of the many ways we could describe the beauty of a modern quilt. Used in the home over many generations, the humble quilt is now a staple and a worthy investment for the bedroom.

Here we share a few top tips for decorating with quilts, with thanks to the experts at India Ink and their exquisite assortment of quilts now available for purchase.

Quilts in any colour, pattern or patchwork can be used to adorn your bed and compliment the layout of your bedroom. A brightly coloured quilt (such as this nature-inspired print featured below) will work well to pick up the elementary decor tones in a room. Pair it with bright pink drapes in the bedroom for a matching bright and summery bedroom, or echo the blue and aqua tones of this quilt in your bedding and other soft furnishings to bring out the calming ambience often associated with this palette.

Either way, a simple patterned quilt can quickly be used to tie the colours of your bedroom together. Use it as an anchor in the space and if you’re feeling brave, allow your prized quilt to set the tones and colours of the entire room.

Nature inspired prints are always inspiring. In the bedroom and especially on the bed, a nature-inspired print can help to elevate your bed as the centrepiece of the room. Take for instance this happy pink quilt (featured below) which adds to the boho design of the room and ties together the bright shades of pink, blue and even burgundy which features in this space.

Solid prints are also great when it comes to choosing a quilt. A solid colour can be used in a variety of settings and can work to complement or add contrast to your room. A simple white throw is ideal for a minimalist Scandi bedroom, but shades of blue (featured below) would work well in a seaside bedroom retreat or a boy’s bedroom. Whatever your choice, a quilt is more than just a decorative item, it will also be a welcome addition to your bed on those colder winter nights!
