One thing you will always notice in interior design is the use of fabrics. We designers love fabrics – mixing and matching them, playing with color, texture, pattern and movement. From throw blankets and pillows to bedding, upholstery, drapery treatments and wall hangings, fabric plays an integral role in home décor and design. When it comes to utilizing fabric, however, designers need to know what types of fabric to use for each application. We must be aware of durability, cleanability and resistance to staining and fading.
