We all know the golden rule of interior design: it’s not about how much you spend, it’s about how you layer. You can have a stunning architectural coffee table, but if your bed looks flat or your windows look bare, the room feels unfinished.
At Forma Decora, we live by the “High/Low” philosophy. We believe in splurging on statement pieces that last a lifetime, but saving aggressively on the textiles and accents that get swapped out with the seasons.
Lately, our team has been quietly sourcing from a retailer you might not expect: Brylane Home.
While they are a massive name in the catalog world, they are effectively an untapped goldmine for the modern decorator looking to achieve that plush, layered “hotel look” without the boutique markup.
Here is how we are using Brylane Home to get the luxe look for less.
1. The “Oversized” Bedding Hack
Have you ever noticed how beds in magazines look infinitely more comfortable than real life? The secret is volume and drape. Most standard comforters are too small, barely covering the mattress.
Brylane Home specializes in Oversized Bedding. Their quilts and comforters are cut generously, meaning you get that luxurious drape that touches the floor—hiding the bed frame and instantly elevating the room.
- The Edit: Look for their textured quilts in solid, neutral tones (crisp whites, slate grays, or sand). Layer them for that fluffy, cloud-like aesthetic.
2. Window Treatments that Frame the Room
Custom drapes are notoriously expensive. One of the fastest ways to make a room look expensive is to hang curtains “high and wide” (closer to the ceiling than the window frame). To do this, you need length.
Brylane Home offers an extensive selection of window treatments in difficult-to-find lengths at a fraction of the cost of custom work.
- The Edit: Their Thermal and Blackout Curtains are a favorite. They add visual weight and texture to a wall while actually insulating your home—fashion meets function.
3. The Instant Furniture Refresh
Buying a brand-new white sofa is a risk. Giving your existing tired sofa a new lease on life is a strategy.
Brylane Home creates some of the best-fitting Furniture Protectors and Slipcovers on the market. If you want to test out the “light neutral” furniture trend but are terrified of spills (or pets), a quilted throw or stretch slipcover from Brylane is the low-risk solution. It lets you change the color palette of your living room in five minutes flat.
