Carpets and rugs are among the most popular part of home decor. Nothing compares to the soft, luxurious feel of a carpet under your feet while lounging. With the increasing popularity of floor seatings and open living spaces, carpets are becoming a crucial part of the decor.  Carpets, rugs, bedside runners, and floor mats are common forms used to cover the floor.  Fundamentally, the only difference between carpets and rugs is the size. A carpet covers the room from one wall to another whereas a rug is compact and comparatively covers a smaller portion of the room. However, these days the terms are used interchangeably. The addition of a carpet to any space in your home will invariably change the look. It creates harmony between the curtains and the furniture. Carpets tend to have a longer life span than other decor products hence it is important to make an informed decision while purchasing carpets online.  Here are the 3 most important factors you should keep in mind when picking out your selection of carpets and rugs. WEIGHT AND MATERIAL Carpets and rugs are made of many different materials ranging from wool and polyester to cotton and jute as well. The weight of the carpets depends on the material you choose.  The material and the backing of the carpet together determine the weight of a carpet. The commonly found cotton dhurries or cotton carpets are light in weight whereas the fluffy, tufted wool or machine-made carpets are heavier due to the addition of rubber backing. Why does the weight of the carpet or rug matter? The weight of the carpet matters because it determines how sturdy the placement is going to be. Heavier carpets are harder to shift and transport in general. Lightweight carpets make the usual cleaning of the household easier. Rubber Backing in a Carpet SIZE OF THE CARPET The size of the carpet can very easily make or break the look of the space. It is paramount to measure the room accurately. Here’s a guide for the most common dimensions used in the entryway, living room, bedroom, and kitchen. Simple size guide for carpets and rugs For ease of movement, it is pertinent to maintain enough space between the rug and the furniture placed around it. MAINTENANCE OF THE CARPET OR RUG Each carpet comes with its own set of cleaning and maintenance instructions. Every material needs a special kind of treatment.  If the carpet is going to be a regular part of your decor, go for something that is lightweight and easy to maintain. Cotton carpets can be a great choice. Cotton carpets can be washed in the machine as a part of the regular cleaning process. Spot cleaning in cases of a spill is also easier and similar to how you would clean a stain on a cotton fabric.  Cotton Carpet Digital carpets are essentially made by a machine using study yet soft nylon threads. These carpets can be cleaned with a suitable brush to remove dust and smaller particles. These are not machine washable but can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner.

Why and How to choose the right bedding?

by Rohit Agarwal on Mar 24 2023
Bedding refers to an assortment of bed sheets, blankets, pillows, and a few other products used to cover the mattress and create a more comfortable living environment. Parts of these assortments can be bought together, or individually as well. Adequate bedding is important to facilitate a good night’s sleep and you can expect considerably deeper relaxation combined with better sleep quality by making the right choice. It is also instrumental in protecting your mattress and promoting hygiene.  While absolute comfort level is subjective, the standard measures to ensure the desired bedding are quality, material, fitting, etc. Here are things to look for and tips to make the best choice of bedding: MATERIAL AND QUALITY Picking the right material is paramount for improving the quality of sleep. Natural fiber like cotton tends to be more durable, breathable, soft, and easy to care for. Cotton bedsheets and cotton pillow covers help in wicking away perspiration and allow better air circulation which directly affects sleep. You can easily find pure cotton bedsheets with matching cotton pillow covers to also aid your preferred design aesthetics.  For blankets, cotton and synthetic fabrics like microfiber make up the preferred choice. Cotton blankets are durable and hold well to multiple washes while being lightweight. They tend to work perfectly as a summer blanket/AC blanket and are enough for light winter warmth. Microfiber blankets too are warm and comfortable and allow more heat entrapment for those who like to snuggle with warmth. THREAD COUNT, GSM, FIT & SIZE: The size of the bedding and the associated thread count attached to all the components are one of the most important things to put into consideration when choosing the best bedding option. There are multiple different types of sizes available for flat bedsheets and fitted bedsheet like Double bed sheets, single bed sheets, Queen size bed sheets, and king-size bed sheets. One should be sure of the size and type of bed and mattress in order to make the appropriate choice for the bed sheet.  Thread count is defined as the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch. To simplify, generally, the sheet is considered to be softer with higher thread counts. However, it doesn’t mean that a lower thread count is not desirable. Based on the budget, one can choose between lower and higher thread count since higher thread count bedsheets (200tc bedsheets and above) tend to be priced higher.  For blankets, it is given that one chooses between single and double size, depending on the bed size and preference. To measure the thickness of blankets, GSM becomes the standard measurement. It refers to the measurement of the thickness of the dohar/blanket and is proportional to how warm the blanket is. DESIGN To keep the decor of your room in line with your expectations, you will need to select designs and colors that suit your aesthetic preferences. Choosing the right printed bedsheet or colorful bedsheet will definitely elevate your room’s vibe and create a more lively space. You can pair the design with your blankets to complete the desired look. BONUS: MATTRESS PROTECTOR Mattress protectors or mattress covers create a protective barrier between your mattress and the bedroom. It is a removable protective layer that protects your mattress from accidental spills and other degenerative contaminants like sweat, dirt, bacteria, bed bugs, etc. that reduce your mattress’s life span. It’s extremely important and useful for homes with younger children.  Cotton is an ideal material for mattress protectors as it is both easy to clean and has breathable properties and also helps if you have seasonal allergies. Mattress protectors by nature are waterproof and extend your mattress’s durability significantly.  Broadly, in order to ensure a good night’s sleep, it is important to keep your bedding selection driven by both comfort and convenience. If you are prone to allergies, using an anti-microbial fabric like cotton in your bedding selection can go a long way in ensuring maintained hygiene and comfort level.  CONCLUSION Urban Space offers a wide selection of bedding options including, pure cotton bedsheets with pillow covers, pure cotton blankets, and microfiber blankets to choose from. Our range of vibrant prints and functional designs as well as thread count options (160 TC bedsheets, 200 TC bedsheets, and 220 TC bedsheets) allows you to indulge in a well-deserved sleep mode.

The subsequent step is to store them in a cotton bag. This ensures that the winter blankets aren’t in contact with moisture. If you have enough vertical space, do store the blanket upright.

A Play on Printed Curtains

by Rohit Agarwal on Mar 24 2023
A guide to mastering the art of styling drapes/curtains Curtains have long been used to create visual effects and textures in any space. They are also used for the dramatic pushovers of the curtains in the morning but that aside, curtain arrangements do add a lot of personalities. Be it sheer curtains near the balcony or printed curtains to complement a room with a solid decor element.   Within the plethora of categories available for curtains online, printed ones are chosen more often. So why not look at how to style printed curtains to compliment your setting and make sure the prints aren’t the loudest element in the room? The guide we have put together is more like an outline of the art of pairing prints. You are welcome to delve deeper into this and keep shaking things up with your choice of prints as you evolve. Printed and Plain Sheer Curtain The classic print and solid duo: This is probably the easiest way to mellow down or emphasize the printed curtains. It is advisable to keep the material of curtain pairs the same if you want to create emphasis on the prints. If you have two pairs of cotton curtains, you can use the solid cotton curtains along with printed cotton curtains. Depending on the color palette of these prints, one can choose the color of the plain curtain to complement it. Positioning of the printed curtains is up to you. However, placing them at the ends with the plain curtains in the center does give the wall a frame.  Many prefer blackout curtains or room darkening cotton curtains for their private spaces like bedrooms or their home offices. Here the prints can be bold and dark. For space lying living or dining room, a lighter and softer fall of drapes and prints is preferred as it makes the space feel more welcoming and cozy. 2. Matching prints to the outside Whenever we have beautiful views to overlook from our room, we think of it as a bonus. Which it is! This point might interest you if you are planning to go for printed curtains.  If the prints on the printed curtains match the view in some sense, it’ll make the interiors look as if it is merging with the view. Elaborating on the same, say you have a balcony set up with plants and a seating area outside, you could consider going for printed curtains that have a nature theme or match the accent color of your landscaping. This will create a visual effect of a seamless path connecting your balcony to your bedroom or living room and make the space look a little bigger.  Alternatively, you could also go for a bold print but in a lighter feel like linen curtains or printed sheer curtains. This will also do the exact same job. Don’t be afraid to play with the size of these prints though, you never know what might surprisingly strike out to you. 3. Creating accents with accessories We got the news, curtains have accessories too and while they might not be really hot at the moment, they definitely can be part of your printed curtain ensembles. According to your aesthetics, the chosen printed curtains, and the color palette, one can browse through the variety in the category. From studded gems on metal design to pom poms and minimalistic gold bracelets- the range in curtain accessories is truly remarkable and unexplored. They give you a visual break between the prints. 4. The ultimate print-on-print combination Going forward with a similar logic we use in fashion, the prints here can be combined on a few grounds. For starters, you could look at two printed curtains in similar colorways but with different sizes of prints.  You could also for a traditional print paired with a modern one in the same spectrum of colors.  The alternative combination we often come across in many co-ords can be extrapolated to your curtains. Elaborating this, if the base of one pair of curtains is yellow with white prints like our yellow star boho cotton curtain, the other should have a white base with yellow prints or if you are in the mood to really experiment, grey or black can be subtly introduced. Keep in mind the materials in such combinations as it is possible it might look too heavy on the eye. 5. Focusing on the surrounding A curtain definitely adds character to the room and can become the star of the show. However, if you want them to be an element of a larger setting, printed cotton curtains are your perfect partner in crime. Subtle prints in neutrals or even bright prints on light flowy material.  If you are planning to create a corner or a setting near the window, match the prints to the most common color in the rest of the elements. With this, you create harmony between curtains and the other elements. We suggest using bamboo seatings, planters of various sizes, or minimal marble side tables. They also make the space a little more functional and might just go with your aesthetics. These are just some of the pointers you can keep in mind when you plan to experiment with printed curtains in any material. We would like to remind you to keep in mind the quality, vibrancy, and saturation of colors on the printed fabric. These three are very important factors and will affect the kind of care and lifespan of the printed curtains you look for online.  Remember the space is yours and it is to reflect who you are and how you feel when you enter that space. And if prints are your way of expressing yourself, set yourself free with the options we are to offer.

4 Steps to Creating the Perfect Bohemian Corner

by Rohit Agarwal on Mar 24 2023
The need to have a space that reflects who you are and provides you with the comfort to be yourself is a need. A corner where you let yourself be free and discover new interests or just enjoy the peace within. If what you just read resonated with you, then we are pleased to let you know that a corner set-up in a bohemian aesthetic is what you have been looking for all this time.  Bohemian design and decor have always been known to capture an individual’s spirit and nature in its truest essence, because of the blank canvas it presents to you. As the artist of space- you have all the liberty to add pieces that speak to you in a certain way. Featuring our Boho Rug Here’s a detailed guide to help you with creating a balanced bohemian inspired space: PLAYING WITH PRINTS ON DRAPES: Prints in contrasting or monochromatic shades are an integral part of the boho aesthetic. Starting with curtains, you could look into some interesting options in boho prints. Bohemian curtains usually have flowing prints with various elements that impression the nature that surrounds us. From almost geometric patterns to random yet beautifully placed elements of nature- this range has it all. There are two kinds of prints – Minimalistic or heavily printed ones. Even though the placement of prints differs, the mood they set is definite. The material for the curtains also plays a vital role in this. Most of the curtains which fall under the bohemian style are made of cotton. Many a time there are elements added to the edges of it like pom-poms and ruffled. Crape curtains are also an interesting choice however, they will be tougher to maintain when compared to cotton or linen.  CHOOSING THE RIGHT CARPET: Tying the floor with the drapes gives you the feel of having a larger area- you could do this by coordinating the color palette or the nature of the print. Take for example our black and white printed Bohemian curtains. You could go for a cream, nude or black carpet which complements each other.  If you choose the darker base color, the space will end up looking small naturally- be sure to choose the colors for your carpet wisely.  Read more: 3 Things To Remember While Buying A Carpet SEATING ARRANGEMENT: Getting to the seating arrangement- comfort is primary here. The kind of space you need will answer this question of yours. The options vary from a comfy reading chair you’d like to sink into or a semi-floor-seating space where you’d like to stretch out before you start your day.  In case of a floor seating situation, you do have to think about the cover like a bedsheet or a floor cushion cover. Taking a shade similar to the base color or a nude color can definitely help you with diverting attention to other pieces. There aren’t any fixed rules so choosing prints here can also work if it’s balanced properly. ACCESSORIZE YOUR CORNER: For the final touches of the space, we suggest adding pieces close to your heart that reflect a part of you, along with some comfy throw cushion. One can never get enough of them anyways! For the cushions, consider the material- you could go for an entirely plain soft cushion cover or, you could experiment with macrame cushion covers. While playing with patterns, you can look at fabrics from around you like Ikat or tie-and-dye pieces. Colors in Bohemian Design When it comes to creating a bohemian-style space there aren’t really any rules that one has to stick with. However, the common pattern that we notice is earthy and subtle tones is where the journey begins. The base colors are warm earthy tones usually including shades of dirty cream, rust orange, and browns.  Accent colors is another ballgame altogether. From metallics and rich tones to brighter and lighter tones of pink, aqua blue, and sea green. These constitute most of the popular choices. Accent colors can be added in various ways. Trinkets and small decor pieces like frames and signage are a good way to start. You could also look into cushions with subtle embroidery and multicolor woven fabric. If you find the colors and prints to be overwhelming, you can use white as the background. Create negative spaces between objects to drown the effect of the color of print in your home decor. As we said earlier, it’s your expression that matters, so make sure you look for options aplenty before shortlisting the ones that speak to your soul. Isn’t that what Bohemian design is all about?

Not only can following a disciplined routine the entire day convert it into a productive one but it can also uplift your mood several notches higher. For example, starting your day with doing something as small as making your bed, can do wonders to your senses. The sight of beautiful Cotton bedsheets tucked neatly, the pillows arranged precisely and the comforters sitting crease-free on the bed, can have an immediate effect of tranquility on your mind. And when you kick start the day with a fresh drive of motivation, you are sure to experience a sense of achievement by the end of the day.  Here are some tips on chalking out an effortless yet disciplined routine for the day and stay thriving even by the end of a long day. Morning Mantras: Corporate honchos, spiritual gurus, in fact, most successful people have stressed enough on the pros of making your bed the first thing in the morning. Getting out the bed, taking a rushed shower, and grabbing breakfast on the go, will do little good to your senses. Instead, calm yourself after stepping out of the bed and take a few minutes to make your bed. Show some love to the brightly hued cotton bed sheets that you excitedly bought to lift your mood. Arrange the cushions and pillows neatly and take a moment to adore the impeccable design of their covers. An organized bed exudes positivity and gives you a sense of accomplishment. You are now ready to take on the entire day like a true Zen!  Uncomplicate the Evenings: The sight of an untidy, unorganized house is sure to end your day with a cluttered mind. Instead, inculcate a small habit of tidying up your house after dinner to make your coming morning, chaos-free. Keep those soothing bath towels neatly folded in the bathroom to make your morning showers hassle-free. Plan some of the elements of the coming day to avoid stress early in the morning. You might now want to dim the lights, draw the curtains, grab a comfortable quilt and curl up on the sofa with the family for a nice television show. A perfect idea for a beautiful evening!  Snuggle and Storytime: After all the hard work of the toiling, long day, it is time to snuggle up in the bed, bask in the comfort of your favorite bedding and read a story of animals and princes to your kids. After you have tucked them tight and put them to sleep, you must grab a book if you are a reader. Experts say, it is important for you to clear your mind before you go to sleep. Unwinding can be difficult, especially if you have had a stressful day. Switch off from the worries of the world, switch on the AC, grab your favorite quilt and let the comfort of nice bedding drift you to an uncomplicated world. Now, this kind of scenario is sure to help you sleep like a baby! Discover your signature smell: You can make your house smell good even if it doesn’t look as nice as you’d want. What’s our advice? Make a candle, incense, or air freshener with a scent you really like your space’s trademark scent—one you adore and will immediately identify with home. Remove the clutter: A lot of stuff is involved in modern life, and a lot of that stuff finds its way into your home. Of course, large things like bad layouts and unappealing wall colours can make you miserable in your house, but these big things might make you overlook how small things, like a lot of clutter, can pull your place down. You might be amazed at how much better you feel about your home after spending a few hours clearing things out, taking things to be donated, and possibly even making a junk drawer (or basket!). Change your window coverings: Window treatments, more than nearly any other decoration option, have a significant impact on how you view a space’s architecture. For a minimalist aesthetic, prefer shades that mount on the inside of a window, but there are tonnes of different possibilities depending on your style. Just make sure your window treatments aren’t an afterthought (and if you’re still using the same old vinyl blinds that came with the flat, consider replacing them or at the very least complementing them with curtains). Hang some fresh art: Nothing brightens a room like art. Even one or two things that you adore will go a long way toward brightening up your space. If you already have art on the walls, consider rearranging one or two pieces. A little change can be refreshing and help you “see” things you previously overlooked. So, go ahead, seize your day by inculcating small and significant habits and you are sure to fall in love with the beauty of a good routine. Check out Urban Space to explore the collection that will make your routine perfect.

Practical tips choose to the perfect bed sheet for summer

by Rohit Agarwal on Mar 24 2023
Doesn’t the advent of summer make us nostalgic? Season of mangoes and citrus fruits, ice popsicles, impromptu long drives and the feel of the cool breeze make us yearn for the summer of our carefree childhood- the times when we would hit the sack after a long day of masti and drift to sleep without worrying about the world. Alas, times have changed and the ever rising temperatures have only made the experience of summer difficult for us. And more so, when it comes to a comfortable sleep. Now that the summer sun is getting harsher, it is time to change some elements of your home and make it summer friendly. You don’t have to necessarily invest heavily and spend a bomb to achieve that. Beginning with your bedroom is a good idea. Announce summer by dressing your bed in some cool and vibrant summer bedsheet with pillow covers.

Opt for cotton double bedsheet that would do just that and more to help you beat the heat and make summers enjoyable. Here are a few tips that would help you choose the apt bed sheets and make you want to hit the bed for a rejuvenating sleep: Size that fits like a glove We often undermine the importance of the most significant factor while selecting a bed sheet- its size. It is always important to consider whether you have a bed that is King size or Queen size, a single bed or a twin bed. Also, never ignore the depth of your mattress. The depth of the mattress refers to its thickness from top to bottom. If you have a King size bed, it is inevitable to buy a King size bed sheet but if you use a mattress that is very thick on a Queen size bed, consider buying a King Size bed sheet for it. The dimensions of your bed and mattress will also be important to decide whether you want to go for a flat or a fitted bedsheet. All in all, for nice comfortable sleep it is important that your beautiful sheets fit like a glove on the bed for example bedsheet 90*104 inch cotton or bedsheet 90*108 inch cotton. The good news is we at Urban Space, value our customers and making their shopping experience is of utmost importance for us and hence we have a customization feature on most of our products. Just mention your requirements in the remarks section and we would be more than happy to help. Also, we have a handy shopping guide to help you with determining the dimensions of your bed sheet. Fabrics that breathe It goes without saying that the fabric of the bed sheet when unsuitable for summer, makes you sweaty and results into an uncomfortable sleep which in turn results into fatigue. Natural and breathable fabrics like linen are the ‘must- have’ to defy the summer heat. Because of the thermal properties of linen, the fabric makes adjustments according to your body temperature and hence makes the fabric breathable. Linens are known to give a ‘cool feel’ when it is hot and warm feel when the temperatures are chilly. These very properties of linen make them a go-to solution all year round. And then, of course cotton. Cotton double bed sheets are durable, sturdy and breathable and that is what makes this fabric an all time summer favorite. Our cotton bed sheets for double bed are made of 100% long staple. The appropriate staple length coupled with a special making process build bed sheets that are soft and give a smoother finish. Check out our collection of breathable summer bed sheets here The thread count definitely counts The thread count is inarguably very important to determine the quality and durability of a bedsheet. The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the finish. What is a threat count though? A thread count of a particular fabric refers to the number of threads woven in one square inch of a cloth- vertically and horizontally. You would ask how does that matter when it comes to a good night’s sleep? The simple answer to that question is sheer comfort. When a bed sheet falls into a higher thread count category it is classified into a luxurious lot- the ones that give a smoother and a softer feel against the skin. It is needless to say that the higher thread count also guarantees good quality and durability. It is always a good idea to consider the thread count if you are looking for a cotton double bed sheet with 2 pillow covers for daily use. Better thread count would ensure the sheets stand the test of time and repeated washes in the machine too. Check out our premium range of summer collection here Make a splash with summer colours We can go on and on about what colours can do your senses and help you drift into a good night’s sleep. Not only does the choice of colours reflect your personality but can also have a great impact on your mood. Choosing the colour of the bed sheets that are summer friendly is not as difficult as you might think. Consider factors like the colour of the paint on your walls and the texture of your furniture while choosing the colour of your bed sheet 200 tc for your bedroom. Also, don’t hold yourself from being a little experimental. Small things like complementing the colour of the bed sheet with that little showpiece near the bed lamps can give an interesting look to your room.

Styling tips to different curtains

by Rohit Agarwal on Mar 24 2023
Curtains Curtains turn a room into a cozy hideout. Essentially used for blocking sunlight, curtains for windows have become a significant and versatile piece of home decor that enhances the look of your interiors. It creates a long-lasting impression, and one should not go wrong about choosing their curtains. So, while selecting curtains, one must be clear about the place and purpose of using them. There are various factors one must keep in mind: Which type of curtain would look good, which kind of fabric to choose from, where am I hanging the blackout curtains, what kind of feel, aesthetic, and mood do I want to create, its utility, and lots more! How to choose the drapes that compliment your room? Drapes should be selected depending upon the room you are planning to use them in. Curtains mainly come in two types: Grommet and Tab top. A wide range of both these types of curtains is available on the Urban Space website. Useful Resources: linen curtains online | ac curtains Grommet Curtains: These curtains are mostly preferred in all modern houses as they give a contemporary look. They are almost the same as perforated curtains and would be a brilliant choice for your bedroom. One must ensure that the quality of rings and rods accompanying these curtains for balcony/doors/windows is good for long-lasting usage. These curtains are especially suggested for wide and sliding doors/windows. Tab Top Curtains: These are similar to grommet curtains, but their design makes them easier to set up and maintain. How to choose curtain material? Fabric plays the most significant part in choosing curtains and sheers. Various fabric options are available, like polyester, cotton, silk, velvet, and rayon. The polyester, rayon, and cotton curtains are lightweight and easy to wash, reasonable, sturdy, and inexpensive. The curtains tailored with velvet, silk, or brocade give a luxurious look. The custom-made drapes from these materials would certainly nullify all the atmospheric drafts. However, special care is required for them. If the purpose is to accessorize the window, choosing lacy fabric cotton curtains would be apt and give a dreamy Bollywood feel. Useful Resources: office curtains | digital curtains During summer times, let the pastel play its magic, which would add the perfect hue to the room and lighten up the space. But with the temperature soaring high, you would require blackout curtains that keep the heat at bay and maintain a cool ambience in the house. The perfect fit for this is linen curtains that also have high longevity. How to choose the right place for curtains? It is essential to choose curtains based on the room and its utility. Different rooms require different kinds of curtains based on their functionality and desired style. Choose the curtain type, color, and design based on these factors. Choose the right place and cozy corner for your curtain to highlight the elegance and ambiance of your room. You can also match your drapes with the decor of the room. You can either choose a place and background that blends with the curtains or make it an attractive contrast. Distinction between curtains and drapes: The first step in determining how to choose curtains is deciding what your room requires. Homeowners frequently choose curtains, drapes, blinds, and shades without understanding the distinctions. Doing so, these window treatments can actually interfere with the amount of sunlight your room should get.  Curtains 2 layers are lightweight cloth panels that hang from curtain rods. They’re usually utilized for privacy, therefore, they’re ideal for living rooms. Drapes, on the other hand, are constructed of heavier materials that block out light, making them suitable for bedrooms. Making a decision between prints and solids: To find an answer, we must examine the remainder of the décor. If the rest of the room’s soft furnishings are solid colors, printed curtains for balcony can be a popular choice. Likewise, the inverse is true. Prints lend visual weight to any element, so keep that in mind. As a result, one option to use printed curtains 7 feet is to combine them with solid-colored furniture and add printed cushions, area rugs, and other accessories. You might utilize funny designs and geometric patterns in a contemporary style environment, while florals would go well with a modern classic and traditional décor. Curtains, lined or unlined: This is where you evaluate the utility of the curtains or drapes you’ve chosen. A protective liner can make the curtain more opaque, fade slower, and endure longer if it hangs on a window that receives direct sunlight. Also, having two layers – one transparent and one opaque – allows you to customize the amount of seclusion and light you want. The reality is that linings make draperies heavier, so make your decision carefully. Whatever your style and aesthetic, curtains are a way to enhance them. So, give your interior a new and upgraded decor with stylish drapes and elegant curtains.

Choosing Your Cozy Corner: A Home Decor Essential

by Rohit Agarwal on Mar 24 2023
“Home” is a feeling. As everyday life takes a toll on us, we need a cozy corner in our home that eases our stress and gives us a feeling of being home. While you are deciding on all your home decor essentials, selecting one or more cozy corners in your house is a must. To make this beautiful personal space, the bare minimum requirements include a small piece of furniture, a good bedsheet, a comfortable dohar, a few cushions, and some quirky stuff that has an emotional value for you. Voila, your perfect, cost-effective, and minimal cozy corner is ready! Here are a few essential tips on choosing your perfect cozy corner and making it more aesthetically pleasing for maximum comfort and a homely feeling. Creating your cozy space After a hustling and strenuous day, one requires a sip of their favorite drink and a warm and welcoming corner of the house with utmost peace. So how to make one? Select a place: If you have a spacious house and can dedicate a room to yourself, that would be perfect! But sometimes, we want a small, snuggly corner in a room. For that, select a place that does not have much communal accessibility. The primary purpose is to be with yourself in this corner, so the fewer the distractions better it would be. Let it be a minimal and favorite spot: Make sure that this place has all your favorite things around; it could be headphones, a book, an iPad, a cup of coffee, plants, photos, or anything that you would like to see and makes you feel happy and calm. These things must be well-organized so that your cozy space is free of unwanted clutter. You can coordinate this personal space with blackout or sheer curtains of your choice that would help lift your mood. Spend dedicated quality time regularly: This place should be consistently used to spend time with yourself that will help you improve your mental and emotional health. Put your whole heart into the making and designing of this space, and you will find the results genuinely overwhelming! Selecting your snuggling corner Wondering exactly where you can create your personal snuggly place, which could be your space to spend some quality alone time every day? This can be anywhere in your studio apartment or a small house wherein you reside. It can be in a living room, balcony, or bedroom. You can visit the Urban Space website to find multiple home decor options to help you create this space as per your choice and taste! Here are some tips based on your choice of room. In the living area: This is the easiest one to set up! You can choose a corner near the window, add cotton printed or sheer curtains with the warm sun kissing you and a little tabletop beside you. The corner is ready for you to read while sipping coffee or just gazing out of the window at the beautiful weather. A wide range of curtains for balcony options are available at in to select from- floral, plain, quirky, and minimal, all under one roof! In the balcony/ terrace balcony: If open and airy space is your choice, then place a comforter with various cushions and scented candles in your balcony or terrace balcony, and you will be all set for a calming evening with the sunset view! To deck up your corner with your personalized decor essentials, have a look at the multiple varieties on our website. In the bedroom: After a long day, being with our thoughts feels relaxing and blissful. Generally, the corners of the bedroom are comfortable yet unattended. You can utilize this place by simply putting a diwan or bean bag and pair it with dual-colored curtains yellow and grey, for your perfect cozy corner! This is bound to give a minimal yet classy look. Read more: Bedroom Makeover – Decor your Home An extra blanket: This isn’t a must-have, but it certainly adds to the coziness of the area. For the winter, choose something warm and fluffy and something light and perhaps made of cotton for the summer. A spot to rest your feet: If your sitting selection doesn’t offer a place to put your feet up (such as a couch or a chaise), invest in a pouffe or ottoman. This isn’t the moment to sit with excellent posture. Put your feet up and let your hair down. Styling your cozy corner Something Green: Corners are fantastic because they act as art pieces in any room. Plants in the corner of your room, playing around with table heights, and therefore utilizing the verticality of the corner are all great ways to decorate your space. Plants add a sense of freshness to a room while also helping to fill space. Game Point: If you enjoy chess, that overlooked area is ideal for storing your chessboard. In the corner, set up an antique table with a couple of comfortable chairs. On the table, display your wooden or stone chessboard. A few soothing wall paintings and a modest pendant lamp suspended from the ceiling complete the look. A snug carrom arrangement (if that’s your thing) is another game choice. Make Your Own Reading Nook: Another great option provided by corners is to create a space within a larger room. When you have a large living room, you may construct a reading nook with a small coffee table, a bookcase, and a lounge chair with an ottoman, which can also be utilized as regular sitting when not used as a personal place. At Urban Space, we are dedicated to helping you make the right choice for your decor. Create your own comfortable and cozy indoor spaces with us.

Common Mistakes While Selecting Curtain Measurements

by Rohit Agarwal on Mar 24 2023
Curtains can be the perfect game-changer for your home decor. When given a nice thought before making a purchase, they can be the charming stand-outs among the décor of your living room or bedroom that never fail to land you compliments galore. But a small mistake can also make them stick out like a sore thumb. However, the good news is that choosing the right kind of curtain for windows based on functionality and matching decor is not a big ordeal if you are mindful of specific points. Read more: Bedroom Makeover – Decor your Home One of the most important factors to consider if you want to buy curtains online is the right measurement. It has been frequently noticed that the main cause of awkward-looking curtains is the mistake in the measurements made. Now, it is very simple to measure the length and width of the windows and doors and convert these figures into the dimensions of the product ordered. But your beautifully decorated room deserves a little more effort than this. Let’s have a closer look at the blunders and mistakes to avoid while making the measurements! Read more: Common Mistakes While Selecting Curtain Measurements Not considering ‘where’ the rod is hanging It is always recommended to first measure up the curtain rod. If you are yet to install a rod before buying the curtain for balcony or rooms, make sure to leave an inch or two on both sides of the width of your window or door. If there is a frame on the window, measure the outer frame and then leave a margin of two to four inches on both sides. Never mount the rod too low or too high as they make curtains and sheers look very awkward. It is advisable to leave a bracket size of three to four inches between the top edge of the window and the pole for a perfect look. Mounting the rod a little higher gives an impression of higher ceilings and better space. Half of the task of taking proper curtain 2 layers measurements is done once the rod is appropriately installed. Simply decide the number of curtain panels you would require depending on the width of the rod. Ideally, a pole width of more than 32 inches will call for more than one panel. Similarly, panels can be added as the pole width increases. Curtains too short Another mistake that could ruin the look of your decor is the sight of too short indoor or outdoor curtains. Missing out on appropriate measurement, even by a couple of inches, can ruin the look of the otherwise luxurious-looking room. According to the room’s décor, you can decide what length would be perfect for your windows and doors, like a curtain 5 feet long or a curtain 10 feet long. We at Urban Space offer three standard sizes for curtains- window, door, and long door. For a classic window look, you can choose the ‘window’ that comes in the dimensions of 60” X 60”. The idea is to end the length of the curtain a couple of inches below the sill. If the contemporary and crisp look is what you want for your room, you should try the ‘door’ that comes in the dimensions of 60” X 84”. The curtains here should end just about touching the floor. For a super elegant and luxurious look, go for the ‘long door’ that creates a beautiful little puddle on the floor, choosing the dimensions 60” X 108”. Consider the rough three inches of length on the top of the eyelets before deciding the measurements. Curtains not wide enough Apart from giving the room an elegant look, curtains for windows are intended to control the lighting of the room. Creating one simple blunder could lead to both these purposes not being fulfilled. Depending on the width of the pole, it is important to ascertain the number of panels required for the window. A narrow panel for a wider pole and window would make the curtains for bay windows look flat and you might end up messing up with the entire feel of the room. For fuller-looking drapes, always zero in on 1-1.5 times the width of the window for the curtains. This way the curtains would give a fuller look when closed and also abstain the light from leaking out from the sides. Additionally, when opened, the perfect width would ensure that the window glasses aren’t obstructed from letting the natural light in. Putting Fashion Before Function : Curtains and window treatments are more than just decorative accents; they also serve real-world purposes. You could prefer the look of sheer curtains in your bedroom, but if sunlight wakes you up every morning, it’s probably best to go with a light-clocking roller shade and then add a stylish, airy curtain on top. Consider using heavier materials, such as velvet, to help with insulation if you have an older home with draughty windows. Useful Resources: blackout curtains | cotton curtains Selection of Non-Washable Materials : Consider how easy the fabric will be to wash and maintain before purchasing cotton curtains. A machine-washable curtain will be simple to maintain; however, a dry-clean-only curtain will take more time and money. Purchasing a Flimsy Curtain Rod:  A cheap curtain rod sags in the middle. Invest in a robust rod, preferably made of metal or wood rather than plastic, to avoid this. While tension rods are great for rental apartments, if you can drill holes in the wall, go with robust brackets to avoid the curtains tumbling down. We at Urban Space understand your dilemma while selecting perfect curtain panels for your room, and hence the quality of the fabrics used is always premium. More importantly, the width of each panel is 20% more than those available in the market. Moreover, the length of our curtains maybe 1-3 inches more than that mentioned in the product description to compensate for the shrinkage post washing. We are available to help if you need customized dimensions of curtains. Visit our website to shop from our wide range of curtains. Happy draping, happy shopping!

Tips For Making Daily Routine Activities At Home Better

by Rohit Agarwal on Mar 24 2023
Habits are powerful, but they’re not easy to develop, especially the good ones. Making a daily routine that you can keep will help you build healthy habits and break negative ones for a more productive and happy life.  Setting up an orderly daily routine is a combination of art and science. Science determines what has to be done, while art decides when it should be done. Make a To-Do List First, make a list of everything you need to get done daily, both at home and at work. It is a brain dump, not a to-do list, so don’t worry about how you organize it. Take 30 minutes with a notebook to scribble down everything you do and should accomplish each day. Carry a notebook with you and take notes throughout the day if you find it difficult to recall all of the chores in one sitting. It’s important to prioritize your tasks, from putting on a bedsheet to cleaning the curtains Plan Out Your Day Evening owls receive their creative surge of energy in the evenings, whilst early birds get things done most effectively before midday. Consider when you work best, and group your chores according to when it makes the most sense for you to finish them. Allow for flexibility in your planning Planning is a very important process. From choosing the right curtains for windows to the right color of cushions, it’s important that you plan all essential needs of the house and decorate it well for a clear & active mind. Planning your day is also very important, and you should always have the flexibility to inculcate things that come suddenly on your way. Your home decor plays a crucial role in leading you on for the entire day. Put Your New Routine to the Test Take your new routine for a 30-day trial run. What does it feel like? Did you plan your tasks around activities that make sense? Do you need to make any changes? Adjust anything that isn’t working on a case-by-case basis, and then evaluate your new schedule after 30 days to see how it is working for you. Regular Breaks While all of these suggestions are intended to help you forge ahead, there are times when you simply need to take a step back and rest your thoughts. Draw the blackout curtains, step on the balcony and relax. Or take a break & read your favourite book in the cozy corner decorated with elegant rugs and comfortable cushions. Taking regular breaks protects you from being bored and losing focus while improving your brain’s performance. It also leads you to reconsider what you’re doing, ensuring that you’re on the right track.  Incorporate fitness into your routine Physical activity is becoming increasingly popular among individuals today. Many people are unaware that exercise must be systematic, regular, and, ideally, every day to receive its benefits. Keeping your productivity levels up throughout the day Create and define your work environment. It is especially crucial if you work from home, but it will benefit you even if you spend your day in a cubicle. Make certain that the place where you work is simply that—a workplace. It should not be linked to other activities such as conversing or watching television. If you are working from home, make sure your space is tidy with a clean bedsheet and cushions that can motivate you. Additionally, ensure that your workspace is safe. It should be well-lit and ventilated, with a comfortable chair and workstation. Prepare yourself for whatever the day holds by meditating You never know what the day has in store for you. However, incorporating meditation into your daily practice might help you learn to deal with situations more effectively and calmly. It’s crucial to begin slowly if you’re new to meditation. Consistency is more crucial than the intensity at the onset of any new habit. Simply sitting in a quiet room for a few minutes, eyes closed, and concentrating on your breath can be enough to get you started. You’ll surely slip off the ladder from time to time, no matter how effectively you’ve established habits and routines around concentrated work. The problem is that many of us have developed unhealthy habits through time that creep in when we are most susceptible. Perhaps it’s the habit of checking social media first thing in the morning. Or after lunch, watch a few too many YouTube videos. Or perhaps staying up late to watch movies and not getting enough sleep. Whatever it is, if you want to be truly effective, you must break those behaviors. If you are someone suffering from insomnia or sleeplessness, try getting blackout curtains for your bedroom that help block external light and noise.

7 Important Things to Know Before Buying Curtains Online

by Rohit Agarwal on Mar 24 2023
Curtains are the most crucial interior décor element that you can’t ignore. Not only do curtains dress up windows and give an aesthetic appeal to your room, but they also control the daily sunlight from entering the house and secure the privacy of your home. Buying curtains online might seem like a pretty straightforward and easy process, but did you know it involves various factors? Please note that budget is not the only criterion you need to consider. Also, the curtains you choose will be around for a while, so make sure you pick the right ones in the first place. Whether you are looking for curtains for door or curtains for window, there are various factors to consider when buying, like style, length, quality of the fabric, pattern, and design. In addition, you may be confused about whether to get your curtains custom-made or buy them readymade from an online store. Do you find this process cumbersome? We are here to help. We’re here to share some potential tips to help you choose the right style of curtains for your home. However, keep in mind that there is no right curtain; it depends on your needs and décor style. Let’s dive in! Important things to consider before buying curtains online Select the Right Fabric Fabric is vital when selecting curtains because it lets the home breathe. Choosing a quality fabric will ensure that your curtains will last longer for years to come. For example, cotton curtains allow the free flow of air and keep dust away. At the same time, other heavy materials can be too suffocating and increase dust collection and allergies in the home. Select the Right Color Consider the daily sunlight exposure while selecting the color of a curtain. If the room gets plenty of sunlight during the daytime, keep the colors light and pastel, like curtains in yellow and grey. Bright colors, especially cotton, tend to fade and look drab quickly.  Curtains Length and Linings Did you know long curtains like curtains 10 feet long can make a small room seem more significant and spacious? This is why it is vital to consider the length of the curtain before any purchase. To add height to a curtain, you can place the railings higher above the window rather than closer to the window. However, if you would like to use the wall space, shorter curtains like curtains 5 feet long that only cover the windows is an ideal option While choosing the lining, you need to consider how much light you want in the room.
