Goal for the Day: Add a Splash of Luxury

We all need to change our surroundings every so often. One of the best ways to do that is to add some luxury to a space through color and texture. An easy way to achieve a new look is by adding some new fabrics to a room. This can come in the form of new drapery or even new throw pillows on your couch or bed.


Many home stores have a variety of pre-made throw pillows which will fit into your décor. However, if you want a special, more custom look that truly suits your tastes, you can always visit a local fabric store. Often, you can find remnants or scraps of elegant textiles that you can bring home for much less than you’d think. With a little effort, you can turn these fabrics into unique creations.

This weekend, my parents and I visited a lovely fabric store. The result of this visit—thanks to my father—was some custom-made toile pillows which were the perfect addition to an otherwise bland sofa cover.

So, today, take a look around your home and see where you could make a few changes to keep your environment fresh, exciting and luxurious.
