The best sateen sheets

By Published April 20, 2021

Sateen sheets offer the best features of both cotton and silk. Cotton fibers are woven in a silk-like pattern to produce the ultra-soft shiny material famous for being as durable as a traditional cotton sheet.

What’s the difference between satin and sateen? Satin is almost always made from 100% silk thread whereas sateen is generally made from 100% cotton. It is also machine washable, whereas satin usually needs to be dry-cleaned.

Color Drenching: The bold hue movement that is sticking around in 2026

Green living room walls with velvet green sofas

What is color drenching?Color drenching is an interior design trend where a single color is used on every surface in a room. This includes walls, trim, doors, and even the ceiling, creating a cohesive and immersive atmosphere. The technique can make a small room feel larger or a spacious room feel cozier, and it often extends to furniture, radiators, and cabinetry for a bold, unified effect.

While the term color drenching is relatively new, the concept has deep roots in design history. The look can be traced to historic European interiors where monochromatic schemes added depth and luxury. Even in the Victorian era, richly saturated jewel tones were often used in grand spaces such as libraries and parlors. It reappeared during the 1960's and 1970's as well. Designers have long understood that a single, enveloping hue can create a striking sense of mood and continuity.
