Textiles do more than add color. Curtains filter light and soften echoes, a throw invites you to settle in, and a runner turns a bare table into a set one. Because they are easy to change, they are also the least expensive way to give a room a new look each season. Soft Furnishings brings together blackout, sheer and velvet curtains, throw pillow covers and silk pillowcases, knit and fleece throws, table runners and placemats, shower curtains and absorbent bath mats.

Choosing Fabrics That Last

• Feel and fiber: Chenille, corduroy, velvet and chunky knit feel warm and cozy, while linen, cotton gauze and cooling ice silk feel light and breathable. Choose by season and by how the room is used.
• Measure before ordering: Windows, sofas, tables and tubs all vary. Every size in our listings is in inches, so a tape measure settles most questions before checkout.
• Read the care details: Zippered covers, washable vinyl and machine washable mats make life easier in homes with kids and pets. Silk, velvet and knits need gentler handling.
• Build a color thread: Pull one color from your sofa or rug and repeat it in at least two textiles so the room feels connected.

Styling tip: Keep two sets of soft layers. In warm months use linen curtains, gauze table runners and a cotton throw; when the weather turns, switch to velvet, chunky knit and plush. Store the off season set in breathable cotton bags.

Start with the biggest textile in the room by browsing curtains and drapes, then layer in throw blankets.
