The choice of textile at home
First of all, the house and the textile have to go together. In addition to choosing the fabric’s colour that matches the rest of your house, you have to see the quality of the fabrics because they have to be durable and rigid. In addition, it has to absorb noise, insulate the cold and maintain the home’s interior heat. The fabrics have to be suitable for each place in the house. They must be easy to wash and resistant to all those problems that can happen, and that is not slippery, in the case of sofas, armchairs and chairs.
Types of textiles
The brocard is a drawn print, ideal for curtains and cushion covers, handmade that offers a greater thickness to the cotton. Madra fabric, a softer cotton, is ideal for table linens. A fabric combined with synthetic material and cotton is false satin, a shiny fabric perfect for complementing the curtains. The chintz gives a floral touch to the room. If you want to remove the light from a room, the ideal is velvet, a reasonably thick fabric that also serves to cover cushions. Vichy is a fabric that does not get wet when in contact with water.
