I’ve always been inspired by the possibilities of fabric. From one bolt and a little imagination can emerge curtains, an ottoman, pillows and a duvet. Every month, we feature bedding designs brought to life by our design team. It isn’t magic, though — some real work goes into making design dreams a reality.

I’ve always been inspired by the possibilities of fabric. From one bolt and a little imagination can emerge curtains, an ottoman, pillows and a duvet. Every month, we feature bedding designs brought to life by our design team. It isn’t magic, though — some real work goes into making design dreams a reality.

From the moment our designer or bedding team member makes a fabric selection for a bedding design, a member of the fabric team steps in to measure and cut fabrics and trims. The next stop is the workroom, where the duvet and pillows are cut and stitched and detailed by one of our experienced sewists. After they’re finished, it’s back to the shop and upstairs to the bedding department, where it is steamed, fluffed and added to a bed. Additional furniture and finishings are brought in to complete the look. As with any artisan process, the results aren’t immediate. It typically takes a few months from concept to completed look, but after the big reveal, it’s always worth the wait.

With these beautiful beds complete, it felt like the perfect time to do a bedding roundup.

NEW CASTLE DREAMS

This soothing bed was dreamed up by our designer Liz, who was inspired by the New Castle fabric when creating for an out-of-state client. She realized how many different fabrics there are that pair well with it and decided she wanted to pull out some of the blues with this design. Completed in March, it felt like the perfect look to bridge the gap between winter and spring.

One of my favorite details that ties it all together is the front boxed pillow with a fun, pleated edge, which Liz also dreamed up. And with the darker side of the pillow and the decorative pleating, it’s the perfect balance of girly and polished.

Looking to create a similar look at home? Sometimes a bed you see on display might be almost what you’re looking for, but maybe the pillows aren’t exactly right. My advice here is to be like Liz. When there wasn’t the right proportion of pillow for her design, she decided to try something totally new. Don’t be afraid to mix it up and choose a different option to complete your look.

CHINOISERIE MASTERPIECE

This bedscape by our designer Anne is a beautiful blend of masculine and feminine. Anne’s original fabric inspiration for the design was the chinoise toile of the front pillows, and the bed was built around them. By repeating the tape trim on the duvet and lumbar pillow, Anne brought some continuity between the pillows and the bedding design and successfully tied in the aquamarine colors found in the lovely inspiration fabric.

A flaxen duvet with turquoise tape trim is a fantastic option for a minimalist or someone who wants to create a foundation for playing up interesting pillows. It’s the perfect example of fine details done well to create a polished and refined look.

A FIELD OF WILDFLOWERS

This bright, beautiful bed was brought to life by our bedding team, its darling floral fabric just sings spring. We love our blue and white, and the addition of greens and yellows makes for a fresh interpretation of the pairing for the warmer months ahead.

Delightful yellows and sweet blues accented with spring greens pop off clean white backgrounds in all these featured textiles. Butter yellow buffalo check pillows bring out the yellow found in the wildflower fabric of the duvet. The front lumbar pillow is a crisp white with a Greek key design, bringing a more tailored feel to the otherwise organic fabric selection.

BRIGHT BOTANICALS

This bedding design is all about the big and bold details. This bright botanical print featuring peonies and hydrangeas is the obvious inspiration, used in not only the pillows, but as the foundation for the cane-detailed bed itself. This fabric has so many color options to pull from when selecting accompanying details, finding pairings is a spring breeze. We felt inspired by the navy tones throughout and found a few preppy fabrics with minimal pattern to allow the botanical to really shine. For this finished look, we combined custom bedding components with a green-trimmed, ready-made duvet.

Playing with patterns and pillows always gets me inspired. With every bedding feature, I want to recreate my bed at home all over again!

With remote and hybrid work schedules here to stay for many Americans, it’s important to have a space dedicated to comfort and productivity. The initial transition to remote work may have involved setting up an impromptu workstation at the dining room table but creating a long-term, functional home office can be one of the first steps to increasing efficiency, focus and productivity.

Whether your work area is a spacious room, small den or a desk in a quiet spot in the house, these ideas can help you create a space where you enjoy working.

SELECT PERFECT LOCATION

While some remote workers have a spare bedroom or den they can dedicate as a home office, others may need to create a multi-use area in which office space occupies another room, such as the dining room, family room or basement. If you have several options for your workspace, consider how lighting and sound may impact your ability to focus.

For example, positioning your desk near a window can help increase your mood and reduce boredom. Similarly, if possible, choose a location where noise from other family members moving around or traffic outside will be less of a distraction. Earplugs or background noise can help drown out sounds if you’re restricted to a specific location in your home.

CHOOSE A DESK AND CHAIR

Start by measuring your space to see how large of a desk you can accommodate then

COMFORT & PRODUCTIvITy

decide between a traditional desk or trendy adjustable-height version, which can allow you to sit and stand throughout the workday and has been shown to provide health benefits in addition to increasing work performance. An ergonomic chair with a padded seat and armrests is also a must-have to provide lumbar support and increase comfort while seated.

FIND STORAGE SOLUTIONS

Storage is one of the most critical aspects when designing your home office. To avoid clutter and keep documents and other items organized, consider options such as built-in cabinets and shelving, base cabinets with desk file drawers, utility cabinets and wall bookcases.

You can even customize your cabinets and choose from a wide selection of styles including traditional, transitional, casual, formal, contemporary or eclectic with options from Wellborn Cabinet.

KEEP COLOR IN MIND

Colors can influence productivity and mood, so it’s important to consider them when designing or updating your workspace. Avoid white, which can lead to boredom, and instead choose a color scheme that can make a positive impact.

Warm colors like red or orange can increase energy; blues are relaxing and can help keep blood pressure down; and green can help reduce stress.

By FAMILy FEATURES

An on-trend option like the Granny Chic Home Office from Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., can be set up in nearly any area of the home to create a stylish workspace. Featuring Premier Series cabinets with Napa doors in an olive finish and satin nickel hardware, this desk and hutch also includes base and crown moulding to help set it apart as a space devoted to productivity. Plus, accessories like a wastebasket pullout, drawer inserts and dividers, and tiered organizers can make organization easy.

ADD PLANTS AND DECOR

Office plants provide numerous benefits, including improving air quality and increasing productivity. In fact, a study published in the “Journal of Environmental Horticulture” found productivity increased 12% when workers performed a task on a computer in a room with plants compared to those who performed the task in the same room without plants. Low-maintenance species such as orchids and succulents also produce a pleasant aroma and earthy atmosphere to decrease stress.

In addition, consider your space’s decorations if you will be conducting video calls. If your home office doesn’t have much natural light, place a light source behind the camera. While the background for your calls should be relatively neutral, a mural or art on the walls or shelves can complement your professionalism and add a creative touch to your space.

ADD SOME ARTISTIC FLAIR wallpaper making a comeback

By KAITLyN KEEGAN, HARTFORD COURANT | PHOTO By TRIBUNE NEWS SERvICE

Over the years, wallpaper has been all the rage. Step into a house renovated from the 1950s to early 1990s, there is probably a lot of wallpaper. Current generations remember the sticky, smelly glue that soaked into your sheetrock and ruined anything it touched. As we turned into the mid-to-late ‘90s, wallpaper began to fall out of favor.

Homeowners began ripping it down, dealing with the price tag-like paper that left glue everywhere. They steamed, they scraped, they wet the walls with wallpaper stripper — anything that would help peel the stubborn paper and glue off.

Nowadays, wallpaper is back and better than ever.

The new wallpaper does not apply the same way as it used to. There are two methods in which wallpaper can be

applied. Either paste the wall or peel and stick. It used to be that the installer had to soak the paper to activate the adhesive.

Peel and stick is the most commonly used; it is like using a sticker. Paste is used for more heavy, high-quality wallpapers with a non-woven backing. You apply the glue to the wall and then hang the dry paper. You can then adjust the paper and smooth it out as needed before it dries.

The best part? Peel and stick wallpaper can often be reused.

Wallpaper that has a non-woven backing can be peel off dry and leave behind some spots of glue that can be washed off with soapy water. The important thing about modern wallpaper is proper preparation of the walls prior to application. Make sure paint is dry and the walls are clean before you apply it.

Beside the changes in application, wallpaper is now accepted and encouraged in the interior design world.

“Wallpaper is a great way to add drama to a space,” Kellie Burke of Kellie Burke Interiors said. “It adds that artistic flare that a piece of art would bring to a space.”

Whether an accent wall or a whole room, wallpaper is a way to add individuality into a space. Individuality and bold colors are both trending for 2023.

“We are also loving the reinvented granny florals that were such a trend in the ’80s,” Burke said. “Layering of the same pattern on drapery, upholstery and walls is magic and warms up a space.”

When looking at your space and considering what to do, or while questioning a choice, Burke said to go for it.

“Dare to be bold,” she said.
