Fabrics For Home Decorating Use

Fabric or cloth is a very useful material to make use of when decorating your room, office or home, if you want to create a warm, appealing or themed atmosphere. It is easier to use materials because they come in so many different patterns and colours and it is inconceivable that you will not be abe to find a textile to suit your decorating requirements.

Fabric can have many uses in home decoration, some of them are as wall coverings, as in flock, slip covers, carpets, table runners, curtains and wall hangings. A room without cloth can look cold and unappealing.

It is best to have a certain style in mind, before you go buying your fabrics. For example, do you already have furnishings? Do you already have a few pieces of furniture? If you do, are they all of a comparable style? If they are, then the fabrics you choose have to fit in with them. Otherwise, you can use material to harmonize unmatched furniture.

For example, if you have a harmonized set of furniture, but you want to add a reclining chair, you could get a slip cover for that reclining chair which will make it better fit in with your existing decor, rather than have it stand out like a sore thumb.

If you are starting from scratch it is even simpler. You can select a theme or a style and purchase cloths that will match in with that style. For instance, you could choose a Southern style or an Italian, say, Tuscan style. If you want a Tuscan style, you might choose to pick fabrics with woven textures such as burlap, fabrics made from the abaca fibre and fabrics made from banana tree fibres, Savannah cloth and tobacco leaf fibres.

Tuscan decorating materials tend to be heavier but they are very versatile. If you use the Tuscan theme as your guide, these decorating materials could be used for blinds, runners, curtains, slip-covers and rugs. However, you may decide on a cottage style decor, in which case you will choose floral patterns in light, bright colours.

You have so much variety when you use fabrics to customize your room or home. Having said that, I would like to emphasize that you ought to take your time before coming down on a theme, because if you implement a theme or colour scheme correctly, it can be fairly costly , which means that you will have to live with it for quite a long time.

If you had the money, it would be cool to have two or more themes, all slightly different that you could swap over from time to time, say, when one theme is in the wash. Curtains and slip covers could go in the wash together and be replaced by a totally different theme for six months or so.
