COMFY HAVEN

Cushions are a great way to add a touch of elegance and luxury to your home at very little cost. Splurge on a few beautiful cushions to add gasp of ' oh wow' to a room or to add that designer touch.


One of easiest ways to do this would be match the wall paper in your home. The latest trend in wallpaper is Damask designs. You can either use the wall paper print on your cushion or pick one of the more prominent colors on your wall paper and match your cushion covers to this. Sometimes it is nice to use one or two cushions that stand out and mix it with solid colored cushions or cushions with a simpler design.

Bold unusual color combination is another home decor trend for 2009. If you have a dull wall color or your sofa upholstery is starting to fade . A cost effective way to brighten up your room is adding some bright unusual cushions and throws. So that these are what people notice and pay attention too, not your worn out sofa. Combine some lovely intricately designed cushion covers with simpler designs to to liven up your room.

Retro brights like yellows ( acid citrus shades) are also in. Accents with bold shapes and colors create an easy retro feel.


Geo metrics are also in . For that simple and understated look geometric are the way to go. But don't use too much of the same shape. Combine different shapes in dark tones and metallic hints that are so trendy right now.

Opulence is in! But then again opulence and luxury has always been in. :) You can use metallic shades such as gold, silver, bronze, copper or pewter. Rich fabrics like satin, silk and velvet also add to this rich , elegant. look.

Vintage glamor is also an extension of the trend towards luxury. Achieve this look using sheer fabrics and soft colors.

Going Natural is also another home decor trend. Eco Homes made out of simple natural are the trend that can be translated into your soft furnishings with natural patterns and colors.

Making your house a home with pillows.

Personally I love pillows and cushions. My bed has more pillows than there is room for me. Beautiful pillows can enhance your home. By just changing the colors and fabric of your cushions , you can change the whole look of your home. If you want comfort : neutrals and cottons and if you want luxury and elegance silks but these are just two of the simplest ways you can change the look of your home using pillows. Cushions are the one of the most important home accessories and give a very strong decorative impact with a minimum of effort and cost. Cushions can not only change the mood of your home, but can also enhance seasonal changes.


By using cushions you can add color, depth and elegance to your home.

I hope I will be able to get some images of these women soon and put it up.

I worked in television making value based documentaries for about five years.I left a few years ago and joined my mother in the garment trade. I still wanted to merge what I was doing before with  what I was doing now. I wanted to do something different to the mass produced items being done in these factories. My mum and I saw the quality if soft furnishings in the market and knew with our knowledge combined we could do better . We could make beautiful luxury home decor items that everyone could afford. At the same time we saw that this was a oppertunity for women in low income households to earn an income to support themselves.

Comfy heaven Home decor was born. It has been my dream to start this project where I have the opportunity not only to create but also to help make people lives better. So that now I have the best of both worlds.

Comfyheaven Home decor helps give single mothers, widows and young women the opportunity to earn an income. We ( my mother and I ) do the designing and marketing and provide them with raw materials. They can work from home or come to ours and use our machines . We pay them a fair wage for this work.

These women have to freedom to work from their homes at their own pace.They are also exposed to international trends, ideas and expertise and so are able to expand their abilities.
As these women don’t have computer or are not even aware of the opportunities the internet can offer. We try to sell their products on sites like ETSY and DAWANDA that have opening for hand made items.We also recently launched our site http://www.comfyheaven.com where people can buy our products.

At present we have 4 women who work with us. As we grow we hope to employ more.

So what is our vision . It is two fold
1) To create beautiful home decor items that everyone can afford.
2) To give women the ability to work with dignity.
