In the first place it is worth remembering that textiles for furnishing are incredibly different from textiles for clothing. They are made in a way to match both functional and aesthetic requirements and therefore need to be durable, resistant to bleaching and easy to clean; moreover, they need to match specific criteria connected to style and tastes. The design of the textiles available on the market allows to obtain many different effects based on the type of fabric you choose, that can range from silk to wood, from cotton to linen, from cashmere to satin. Design fabrics allow to dare with intriguing combinations and contrasts; shimmering silk, embossed weft and warm tones contribute to a modern furnishing style, while a drapery in neutral nuances blends in with a classic furnishing style to perfection. But how many fabrics are there on the market? Textiles for curtains are a must in all houses and offices, together with tapestry textiles, versatile coverings that add extra tone to the sofas, chairs and armchairs. Wall textiles, on the other hand, allow to decorate the internal walls and to create soft covering for an outcome that speaks loud about your self.
The possibility to choose among different types of textiles design, and a whole series of wefts, thicknesses and patterns, offers a great opportunity to cover any space and wash it with a totally new style. The most classic choice is solid colors textiles. In the case of pastel tones used to cover the walls, the environment will look more spacious and tie in discretely with the furnishing style. The choice on colors will mainly depend on personal taste and on the chosen furnishing style. The least impacting textiles, that confer calm and neutrality to the spaces together with a sense of cleanness and relax are the neutral ones, such as white, beige, or light gray, that visually lighten the space and convey a sense of calmness and tranquility. Instead, vibrant colors and textiles such as red, turquoise, orange and yellow, add to the space liveliness and confer a pop look and outstanding vibrancy and cheerfulness. Often elegant, dark tones on the other hand represent a good way to dare and add character to an interior. Eventually you can choose between glossy textiles, often used for the curtains or in order to cover sofas and armchairs with reflecting lights effects, or shading textiles, especially used for curtains in order to fully shield the house interior from sun rays. The variety of textiles with patterns, on the other hand, has no limits; from the most geometrical striped textiles and textiles with graphic motifs, up to the most outlandish damasked textiles or textiles with flower motifs.
