denim is a good place to start. It's classic, soft, and practically begs you to sit down and stay a while. Choose
pre-washed fabrics for the softest feel. And keep your chair out of direct sunlight or you'll find it fading in all the wrong places. # Because denim is a plain fabric it takes well to dressing up with trims. Use fat cordings, weltings made from checked fabric, red pillow fringe, and white trims. Mix and match trims and welts on a grouping of pillows, and add some to the upholstery and curtains. # You can even put a denim look up on your walls. Ralph Lauren has the paints and

your window treatments, pictures, and accessories. Furniture index

on your tie-backs, bandana print wallpaper, rustic wood accessories, and twig occasional furniture. # Iron and wood accessories look great with denim. Or go for a country cottage look with blue denim fabrics and all-white accessories. # Baskets and wood boxes also fit well with a denim scheme. Use natural wood tones or try painted
styles in barn red or navy blue. # Denim for the table is also popular. Ralph Lauren makes denim dinnerware and other manufacturers Furniture index
