Pashminas are very convenient for many types of occasions since they’re easy to stick in your shoulderbag if you get too hot. The wool of the pashmina keeps out the cool weather very well, so rather than dragging around a large coat on a cool spring or summer evening, a pashmina will suffice as a convenient outer garment.
Shawls have now become very fashionable as a fashion accessory/apparel for bridesmaids. The last couple of summers in the UK have been rather miserable, so maybe this has boosted this new movement. Cream-coloured pashminas, as well as white and gold are fashionable selections for weddings, and look amazing if all the bridesmaids have the same colour shawl.
If you order a larger size pashmina, it can also become a useful blanket for those lengthy trips. And of course, it can become a warm scarf for winter days too.
There tends to be two choices of pashmina shawl - the 100% pashmina, and the 70% pashmina / 30% silk variety. The non-pure pashmina you will find at cheaper prices than the 100% wool opposite number, but it will be less soft. It’s up to you as to how you want to wear your pashmina. Is it merely a fashion accessory, or ALSO a garment to keep out the cold too? I advocate 100% pashminas to keep out the cold.
In many of the industry magazines it has been noted recently that sales of striped carpets have grown by 200% this year as things making an impact in the fashion world continue to influence interior design, providing exciting, hip flooring solutions for the home.
Carpet has always been a material that interior designers have enjoyed incorporating within their designs as an integral feature, as it adds an element of style and warmth that moves beyond purely the aesthetics. Its one thing people always mention after experiencing carpet used this way even if theyd previously had a preference for a different type of flooring.
One leading interior recently remarked that people are looking for something that is a little bit different and have the desire to make their homes unique whilst still remaining cutting edge.
Last year saw a revival of 70s style in many different areas. High-waisted, wide leg trousers and floaty, floral dresses litter the fashion magazines, while Eagles and Led Zeppelin concerts are as popular as they ever were. In terms of the home, Shagpile carpet flooring and deep shades of Biba-esque purple are becoming leading trends in interior design.
Replacing a carpet due to general wear and tear can be a great excuse to revitalise your living space. People often discover that carpets appear worn in those areas which people walk over the most, which why its important to carefully consider what carpet you choose for these areas. The Fun on the Floor campaign is a great example of how different kinds of carpet can be so effective at completely transforming different parts of a living space and giving people inspiration for interior design ideas..
