How can soft furnishings change a room?
“Soft furnishings can instantly make a room more cosy and comfortable. Additionally, they enhance and add visual interest to an interior scheme, through colour, pattern or a mix of both! Also, textures play a role in enhancing the depth and feel of a space.”
Got a hot tip?
“Play with colour! A pop of colour goes a long way – simply select a colour to form the basis of your soft furnishings selection. Mix and match for added fun and delight. A blue and white floral cushion contrasts well against blue and white stripes, as well as solid blue cushions in different textures.”
What are we likely to see as colour and texture trends for 2019?
“Natural-touch soft furnishings: Wall coverings and fabrics with a natural element (such as bark, abaca and salago fibre) are gaining in popularity. This is thanks to an increased global desire to be more in touch with nature.
Living colourfully: Why go for a bland palette when a kaleidoscope of colour is available? Colourful interiors are a major ongoing trend. Popular colours include jewel tones of emerald greens, ruby reds and sapphire blues. Warm shades are also making a comeback – an example being Living Coral, Pantone’s Colour of the Year in 2019.
All about prints: Abstract prints, floral and geometric motifs. Designers are having fun playing with (and combining) these patterns.”

Blinds and Curtains
As a purely online store, Blinds and Curtains is able to greatly reduce operating costs and therefore pass along the best prices and savings to customers.
What can our readers expect from your store?
Customers only need to let us know the type of blinds and curtains they are looking for, together with their dimension requirements. We will then give an estimated quotation, and, if the price is acceptable, we’ll do an on-site measurement to confirm the dimensions and also provide materials for them to select from. We’re happy to provide advice on the type of material too.
How can soft furnishings change a room?
Blinds and curtains can change the whole atmosphere of your interior. With the wide range of fabrics and patterns to choose from, you can always find one to fit your style and space. They’re also helpful for adjusting the amount of light you let into the house, which is a key element of design. In a hot and humid country like Singapore, blinds and curtains also help to reduce the heat that enters a room.
What are we likely to see as trends for 2019?
More customers are opting for motorised blinds and curtains, and including them as part of a whole smart home solution. With just a remote control or smartphone, you can enjoy convenience and comfort. Motorised blinds and curtains also allow your space to be free from tangled cords, which are not just unsightly but can also pose a danger to families with young children. We’ve also noticed that the lifespan of these products is longer as they remove the need for excessive force or improper manual handling.
