The styles of wooden stool can vary from rustic designs to sleek modern creations. Many designers employ recycled wood as their material of choice, whereas others explore new uses of wooden materials like folding and molding techniques that give their stools their own distinct style. Some even fold and mold to form fluid designs which elevate the classic stool style.
If your stool made of wood has seen better times think about giving it a new life by repainting it or making it new for a totally new look. Reupholstering its seat can further make it look more unique for your home! Begin by sanding it to expose its original finish. Then, wipe it clean with a damp cloth to eliminate dirt and dust before applying 3-4 layers of painting (allow each to dry completely between coats if you are using metallic). Make sure you sand in the paint between layers of metal in order to eliminate brushmarks!
Blanket material is another essential consideration when selecting a blanket. The options available include acrylic, wool, cotton and fleece options. Cotton blankets are the most sought-after and are available in various patterns and colors to complement any style of decor. Additionally, they are breathable while being soft against your skin. There are also soft blankets made from chenille fabrics that will give your home a luxurious aesthetic.
Quilts are another option to add comfort to your bedroom, featuring three layers: front, middle, and back fabric with wool, cotton and polyester filled. Handmade designs often boast intricate stitching patterns to add character - perfect to personalize each bedroom!
Mixing vintage decor with contemporary pieces is an exciting task that can result in truly unique rooms that reflect your individuality. It is important to mix old pieces with new ones with a similar theme - such as making use of an old Chinese garden stool to use for coffee tables or as art on the wall!
When choosing vintage home decor take note of their color palette. Many vintage pieces boast soft pastels, earth tones, and faded shades that create a warm atmosphere. Modern colors can also be used in vintage designs, for example combining a the whitewashed dresser or buffet with red and blue patterns can create an appealing balance.

Modern design was introduced in the 1930s, and has experienced a revival of popularity since. With its clean lines and geometric forms, modern is easy to incorporate into many interior design styles.
