We used the Protea design as scatter cushion covers with our wonderfully soft, yet firm..down and feather scatter inners!! Priced really well too. I only like to use feather scatter inners as they fit nicely into the couch and fabric looks good on them.

So sooth yourself to sleep this winter with “Hierdie land van my”, as printed on our new cosy micro fibre blanket. It’s the ideal gift for friends near and far, so let us know if you’re interested. And for those of you who would like to know the words, here it is:

Hierdie land van my

Hierdie land van my
land van Suidersterre en son
is my hartklop, my asem, my bloed

Dit is die stof wat ek opskop
die afdruk van my spoor

Dit is ‘n berg met ‘n duiwelse piek
‘n disa bloedrooi in sy kloof

Dit is ‘n see so groot soos genade
‘n dolfyn se sprong in die sproei

Dit is Namakwaland in lentetyd
woestynblomme dansend in die wind

Dit is ‘n Kalahariduin teen skemeraand
gemsbokspiese teen die lug

Dit is ‘n steenboklam in die ruigte
sy lyf ‘n rietjie wat tril

Dit is ‘n jagluiperd se soepel swenk
glimmende koperkole in sy oë

Dit is Moordenaarskaroo en Soetveld
Botterkloof, Tankwa en die Hantam

Dit is land en lug en Melkweg
kareehoutstompe in die vuur

Hierdie land van my
land van Suidersterre en son
is my bloed, my liefde, my lewe

Headboards are one of those decor accessories that can dramatically change the look and feel of your bedroom. While they are not strictly speaking ‘necessary’, they can really help with tying a bedroom design together to make it feel focused and more formal. A headboard immediately gives the impression that care was taken in creating an integrated room design rather than having various items of furniture stuffed into a room. More than that, a headboard is also functionally useful giving you comfortable support while reading a book, as opposed to leaning against the wall. With that in mind, let’s look at what is important when choosing a headboard.

What is the purpose of the headboard?

Before going out and buying the first headboard you can get your hands on, you do want to have a clear vision as to what the headboard is supposed to do. Some people just want a nice and decorative headboard that adds some focus to the bedroom design, while others actually want something more functional. With decorative headboards it is very important to match the style to the rest of the house – whether your home design is modern and minimalistic or more of a classical design, whether you are a fan of flashy colours or like more subdued tones, the headboard should ideally be part that design scheme. Putting an ultra modern metal framed headboard on a solid wooden bed can create a conflicting visual design you may not want! More functional headboard designs can offer either shelves to put your books or bedside lamps on or raised sides to hang your bathrobe. In short, make sure you know why you are buying your headboard first!

What is the best headboard size and what material should be used?

Headboards come in many different shapes and sizes. While all of them are made to fit either a King or a Queen sized bed there are still many design choices to play with. Some headboards are wider than the bed which helps to add drama to your bedroom design, while some are deliberately small to keep the main focus of the room on the bed itself. What is important in choosing the size and design of your headboard is that it is proportional not only to the bed and the room, but also to the person sleeping in the bed – if you happen to be very tall, a short headboard will cut into your back when you are trying to read! Generally speaking, the wider the bed, the taller the headboard should be.

In terms of materials, it becomes a question of care and personal preference. It is generally easiest to upholster your headboard with a tough and stain resistant material that is easy to care for, which makes cleaning it a breeze. If you choose a softer, more delicate fabric, there is also the option of making a loose cover instead of upholstering the headboard itself, that way you can just pull off the cover to clean it.

With regards to the colour it really depends on your personal taste and the decor scheme of your house and bedroom. You can either choose to stick to your existing colour scheme, or choose a completely different colour which then accentuates the existing design and the headboard – the only limits here are those of your imagination!
