Make room for your style with Urban Space

A room can feel new again when you change what surrounds you: the way curtains frame a window, the print that greets you on your bed, or the cloth that brings everyone together at the dining table. Urban Space brings these everyday textiles into focus. Explore furnishings for the bedroom, living room and dining area, from expressive florals and Indian-inspired motifs to quiet solids and clean contemporary patterns.

Start with the surface you most want to change. A curtain can set the mood across an entire wall; a bedsheet can refresh a bedroom in minutes. Smaller layers, such as cushion covers, let you try a colour without committing the whole room to it. The most inviting spaces need not match perfectly. They simply need a few details that speak to one another.

Where to begin

Choose a palette that moves through the home

If you enjoy a fresh, relaxed look, begin with off-white, ivory or beige and bring in green through leafy prints or softly coloured curtains. Blue and white can feel crisp in a bedroom or living room, while yellow lends a cheerful note to a window or bed. Pink florals offer a gentler way to introduce colour. For a livelier space, let a multicoloured pattern lead and repeat just one of its shades elsewhere.

Think about scale as well as colour. A detailed bedsheet often looks best beside simpler curtains, allowing its pattern to be seen without competition. If your windows carry a bold geometric or botanical print, try plainer bedding and pick up a small accent colour in the cushions. Texture can do some of the work too: a woven-looking curtain, a tasselled edge or a linen-like table cover adds interest without introducing another busy motif.

Indian-inspired and Jaipuri-style prints can sit comfortably alongside contemporary furniture. Give an ornate floral or decorative border room to shine by surrounding it with restrained colours. Equally, a simple solid can keep a room with patterned upholstery feeling balanced rather than bare.

Match the fabric to the feeling you want

Material affects both appearance and daily use. Cotton and 100% cotton options offer a familiar, breathable feel, particularly appealing for bedding and softly draped window treatments. Polyester can suit designs where an easy-care surface, defined drape or particular light-control finish matters. Other bedding materials and finishes may feel smoother or more plush. Rather than choosing by fibre name alone, read the selected item's material, care and construction details.

For curtains, decide how much daylight you want to keep. Sheer and translucent designs preserve a brighter atmosphere; room-darkening styles reduce incoming light; blackout-labelled options are worth considering when light control is the priority. These terms do not tell you exactly how a curtain will perform in your room: fabric, window size, gaps around the edges and the individual item's specification all matter. Check the listed light-blocking information if it is important to you.

Finish your choice with the practical details. Measure from your curtain rod to the desired hem and check the panel width against the window. Confirm whether you are buying one panel or a set, and that its hanging style suits your rod. For bedsheets, measure the mattress rather than relying on a size name alone; fitted sheets also need the right mattress depth. Check whether pillow covers are included, as contents can differ. For table covers, allow for the drop you prefer on every side of the table.

Make the layers work together

In the bedroom, try pairing a printed cotton bedsheet with a quieter curtain, then fold a dohar across the lower third of the bed for a softer, layered finish. In the living room, curtains can establish the main colour while cushion covers echo it in a smaller dose. At the dining table, a decorative border looks especially effective when the centre of the cover leaves visual breathing room for your tableware. These are starting points, not rules: the right combination is the one that feels comfortable to live with.

Before washing any textile, follow its own care label. Separate darker colours when advised, use the recommended water temperature and take extra care with trims, embroidery or textured finishes. A little attention to care helps keep the look you chose feeling lovely in everyday use.

Questions to ask before you choose

Should my curtains match my bedsheet?

They do not need to share a print. Choose one connecting colour, then vary the pattern scale: for example, a detailed floral bedsheet with solid curtains, or graphic curtains with quieter bedding.

Which curtain length should I buy?

Measure from your installed rod to where you want the hem to fall. Then compare that measurement with the selected curtain's dimensions, allowing for the look you prefer above the floor or sill.

Is a dohar the same as a comforter?

Both add a layer to the bed, but they can serve different comfort preferences. Compare the fabric, construction and weight stated for each item to decide whether you want a lighter layer or something more substantial.
