KEY POINTS:
Forget your average curtains, carpets and blankets. The time has come to engage in a little lateral thinking about textiles.
Source them from places such as vintage stores, ethnic specialists, design stores or your granny's cupboards and use them in unusual ways: make cushions from scraps of vintage fabrics, hang them on the walls, frame them or mix them wildly together.
And, in return, they'll become a unique and colourful highlight at your place.
