For those cold winter nights or even for summer nights on the porch, quilts are the perfect bedding accessory to warm you up.

Quilts add warmth and color to any space. Whether homemade by your grandmother or purchased at a department store, there is nothing quite as comforting to wrap up in as a quilt. A quilt adds a personal and handmade touch to a space that is difficult to achieve with other blankets and bedding. If you are looking to soften a space, or introduce color and graphics, quilt patterns and textures are a perfect solution.

Where to use a quilt. Choosing where to use a quilt is not too difficult of a decision. In a forgotten corner, drape a worn handmade quilt to create an inviting and cozy reading nook. In the family room, a patchwork quilt can casually bring your family closer as you watch a movie. Folded at the end of any bed, a quilt adds an extra familiar warmth and comfort. Wondering how to warm up and personalize a guest room? Add a cotton quilt at the end of the bed just in case. In summer, a light cotton summer quilt is all you need for a bedspread, in some places. In winter, a heavy woven bed quilt adds extra warmth to your comforter or duvet.

The small added touch of a quilt will instantly revive and add life to any space lacking a sense of home, no matter the style or size. Check out some styles here.
