From bold, colorful colors to the soft rustling of taffeta, fabrics affect the psychological attitudes of many of our ethnic minorities, not the subtle ways. The playful pattern makes us smile, and mixed prints and solids can create a paradox of dynamic energy. No matter which effect you are looking for, you'll want to choose the right fabric color, pattern and texture to reflect your interior design.
Emotional factor
Fabrics have an impression of all our senses. For example, the softness of the fabric strongly enhances the tactile sensation. The tactile feel of the fabric indicates wealth [silk], form [brocade] or informal [burlap]. Our hearing is enhanced in rooms with lots of sound absorbing fabrics. The color and texture of the fabric will affect our view, and some fabrics will also affect our sense of smell, providing a pleasant, cooling or annoying odour. The color of the fabric can even change our feelings.
Fiber and texture
The fibers impart a texture and texture to the fabric and may include materials such as reeds, grass, animal hair or even plant seeds. When buying any type of woven fabric, look for high thread counts for softness and durability.
Wool is an environmentally friendly choice for carpets. It is natural, renewable, fire and stain resistant, and durable. For furniture upholstery and curtains, cotton is the first choice for natural fabrics.
The fabric also reinforces the formality of the room. The rough texture of the fabric says "picnic", while the soft texture says "formal dinner." Cotton brocade, toilet [pure linen and silk cloth], chintz [timeless style, unpopular from time to time], soft chenille speaks the formal traditional space.
Regardless of how you look and feel at home, careful use of fabric textures, colors and patterns should be an important part of your overall design plan.
