"Smart", "intellectual" textiles and clothing. Learning from Nature! Types of upholstery fabrics for furniture, overview of options

  • 12.06.2019

Do not leave the choice of textiles to the last moment - it can be an excellent basis for creating interior design. When choosing premium textiles, ask the client what clothes she prefers. Depending on her answer, you will have an idea of ​​the style that is most likely to suit her: Dior, Chanel, Gucci are a certain “fashion code” and a style that can be transferred to the interior.

Be sure to compare the choice of fabrics for curtains with the choice of wallpaper and furniture upholstery - these materials should sound harmonious, and the decorator, like a composer, composes his own interior music.

2. The importance of touch in the romance of decor

Tactile sensations when touching textures, real materials and surfaces play a huge role both in the choice of material and in communication between the designer and the client. First, they allow in the best way convey the emotional component of the project; secondly, they clearly give an idea of ​​the color scheme and the quality of the materials that will be used in the design.

For designers to present their projects, I recommend moodboards with real pieces of selected materials. In Moscow and other cities, we hold workshops on creating moodboards together with our friend and partner Pascal Gravo. From scraps of fabrics, wallpapers, clippings from magazines and other materials, participants create an author's atmospheric tablet. Professionals know that, unlike many companies, SKOL provides A5/A4 factory samples of all collections of exclusive fabrics and wallpapers.

3. Textiles can also be on the walls

In the era of Rococo and Empire, the walls of royal palaces and mansions of the aristocracy were decorated with fabrics. A wide variety of textile wallpapers are now being produced: jacquard and silk, jersey, non-woven textiles, canvases using the “thread to thread” technique. Why are they good? The fact that they carry all the aesthetic and qualitative advantages of textiles. First of all, the environmental friendliness of the material is important here, they are also very pleasant to the touch and create acoustic comfort in the room, they can be glued without visible joints and seams. Many collections can be wall-mounted horizontally and vertically, giving almost unlimited design possibilities.

4. Remember the practical approach to choosing luxurious textiles

There is an "invisible" and practical argument in favor of choosing designer fabrics for the interior: their compliance with high performance requirements (all properties are 100% confirmed by the factory, testing and expert evaluations). Depending on the purpose, choose fabrics whose surface is to some extent protected by special impregnations for light resistance, incombustibility and against pollution. For furniture upholstery, prefer fabrics with high wear resistance (from 30 thousand cycles according to the Martindale test), SKOL has French upholstery velor with 100 thousand cycles.

Our collections also include fabrics specially designed for use on outdoors(e.g. on terraces, in swimming pools), with a guarantee for the durability of dyes. Due to special nanoparticles in the composition, the fabrics have a unique resistance to bad weather, UV rays, salt water and chlorine.

5. Bedroom fabrics should be different.

Night artificial lighting violates chemical reactions in the body and leads to health problems ... I recommend carefully choosing fabrics for the bedroom and children's room. AT last years decorators are increasingly relying on blackout and dimout fabrics. Their use is one of the available solutions to the problem of healthy rest in our rhythm of life.

Introduction

textile interior furniture fashion

One of the most important components of interior decoration is textiles.

The influence of textiles in the interior is estimated by many designers and decorators as 60% of comfort. Indeed, fabrics not only decorate the room, but also perform certain functions, filling every room with beauty and harmony.

The simplest definition of interior comfort is the feeling of harmony of the inner world of a person and the space surrounding him. Interior designers, doctors, psychologists, sociologists and other experts recommend paying attention to the unique possibilities of textile design. Why do fabrics have such a significant effect on the atmosphere in the house? What comfort components can textiles implement?

Functionality. Textiles can solve almost any problem in the interior. For example, block the light, cover from prying eyes, purify the air from pollution and odors, play the role of partitions, and so on. The diversity, plasticity and mobility of textiles, allows you to constantly expand the scope of its application.

Compatibility. The interplay of colors, shapes and volumes with each element of a space can enhance the style and character of a home or completely change it. Bringing new things into the house, it is easy to include them in the composition of the space with the help of fabric decor.

Harmony. The interior should be comfortable for the one for whom it was created. The use of textiles should be comfortable, not cause irritation and discomfort. Thoughtful, painstakingly selected fabrics reflect the individuality and habits of the owner. Curtains can regulate natural lighting, place color accents, create harmonious emotional state of the inhabitants of the house at the moment.

Attractiveness. Regardless of such important factors both cost and functionality, textiles need to be aesthetically pleasing. Until we think about the true values, it seems to be enough just to buy beautiful curtains, tablecloths, bedspreads and pillows. And yet, much more attractive will be the author's elements created by hand.

Security. Windows are the most vulnerable space for prying eyes. It is the curtains that carefully guard the way of the house, stopping prying eyes with one movement. Textiles zone the space and create comfortable privacy not only in the house, but also in public places, restaurants, offices and shops. Due to the lightness and softness of the forms, fabric products are completely safe and ideal for decorating children's rooms.

Environmental friendliness. A huge variety of natural ingredients and their combination with the latest technologies, make fabrics beneficial for the health and ecology of the home. Modern textiles are hypoallergenic, able to purify the air, remove unpleasant odors, easy to clean, moisture resistant, does not support combustion and so on.

Upgradability. The love of decorators for fabrics is not at all difficult to understand, appreciating the unlimited possibilities of decorating and changing the interior only with the help of textiles. You can change and update absolutely any item in the house.

1 . Excursion into history

The first fabrics appeared in the Neolithic era. They first learned to weave by hand from coarse fibers of flax, nettle or hemp. The first finest fabrics made of linen and silk began to skillfully drape the walls and entrances of the best temples and houses of the nobility. ancient egypt and Rome. Decoration with fabrics began to develop rapidly as an art in the era of prosperity of the Roman Empire and the times of luxury. Precious fabrics, handmade carpets, magnificent tapestries appeared (the era of "Byzantine luxury").

AT medieval Europe cold and darkness stone walls noblemen tried to hide the castles behind the warmth and comfort of luxurious tapestry fabrics. Fabrics were stretched on ceilings and walls, decorated door and window openings, which helped to keep warm and saved residents from drafts. During the Renaissance, those who could afford such a manufactured design changed it according to the seasons, the holidays, at their own whim. The fashion for the popular silk embroidery of roses, lilies, and crowns has come. Handmade on such a scale - a colossal work for the craftswomen of that time.

With the advent of the Baroque style, the pomposity and high cost of textiles in the interior reached its climax - the tapestry was replaced by silk and velvet. Luxurious accessories appeared: fringes, heavy gold tassels, gilded carved cornices and lambrequins. Textiles began to be widely used as furniture upholstery. Curtains can be lifted up.

Neoclassicism reduced luxury and added elements from the life of ancient Pompeii to the textile drawings. In fashion at that time was a wooden carved lambrequin.

During the Empire style, ornaments using laurel wreaths, animal heads, and eagle profiles became decorative elements. The cornices ended with spearheads. The predominant color is cherry or pink. The theme is the prowess of military campaigns.

Empire style was replaced by Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. The latter is distinguished by a peculiar floral pattern - smooth lines of climbing stems of plants and the brightness of ornaments.

Time passed, architectural styles changed, but fabrics still remained one of the better ways interior decoration. Each era brought something new to the design. These styles of using textiles in the interior are available to our imagination for use today.

2 . Types of fabrics for the interior

All fabrics are divided by type of weaving and composition. The team is responsible for performance characteristics fabrics, and weaving - for aesthetic properties.

One of the oldest fabrics is silk. The properties of silk depend on the type of fibers. If the threads are obtained from a wild silkworm, then the fabric has a heterogeneous structure. Butterflies for smooth flowing silks are grown in greenhouse conditions, their threads have specific names and shades. Elite silk, De Gournay.

Another ancient fiber that people have learned to work with is wool. The main advantage of wool is warmth, and it is mainly used for furniture upholstery, blankets, pillows. The wool is predominantly monophonic, or with a classic ornament: cages-stripes-chicken feet. However, even tulle is made from mixed fabrics with wool.

Linen is another common material, it is also used as upholstery. Rough linen texture looks interesting in modern interiors, especially now that linen has been dyed in bright colors. The tulle version of linen looks spectacular. Linen can shimmer like a chameleon and not burn - Trevira fiber is used to make a fabric that exactly imitates linen.

Pure cotton is mainly used in children's collections, where everything must be hypoallergenic. But in general, cotton performs better in blended fabrics with the addition of synthetic fibers.

In jacquard fabrics, the density of threads per unit area is very high, but the fibers themselves can be soft and delicate.

Almost all fabrics with a large pattern can be attributed to jacquard fabrics, in the rapport of which hundreds, and sometimes thousands of differently intertwined threads participate. Jacquard weaving is considered one of the most complex and dense.

Damascus weaving is when the face and the wrong side mirror each other. If you take threads of different colors, then the pattern turns out to be colored, and if one, then it is as if embossed.

A very popular fabric is velvet, which can be used for both upholstery and curtains. There is thick and thin velvet, expensive Florentine velvet, made according to ancient technology: drawings are cut to different heights and different colors. There is a more durable artificial velvet - made of polyester or non-combustible fiber.

Organza (veil) - very thin, tulle with a characteristic sheen. There are many types of organza. When it has two layers, a moiré effect appears - the fabric seems to be wavy.

Moire is another type of weaving. Moire is cotton and polyester. Cotton moire on the walls looks spectacular - real fabric wallpapers are obtained.

There is also such material as taffeta - polyester, acetate or silk. This is something like a monophonic silk made of artificially straightened fibers, changing color and emitting a characteristic crunch. Taffeta looks especially impressive on windows and in tent structures.

Furniture fabrics are divided into several types: chenille, velor, jacquard, flock, scotchgard (cotton), tapestry, microfiber. Thanks to modern technologies, all have a rich color palette and high wear resistance. For example, jacquard fabrics, with their smoother texture, are suitable for palace interiors, for refined and refined furniture. And velor and chenille look more organic on objects of geometric shapes.

Modern material - microfiber: in fact, a kind of base with fluffy pile. And if the threads are twisted in a special way under a microscope, then you can get alcantara - a type of non-woven microfiber. In appearance and feel, Alcantara is an artificial suede, while in terms of wear resistance it exceeds that of genuine leather by several times. In addition, it assumes the widest color scheme.

Furniture for children and youth is often upholstered with scotchguard (name options: cotton, printed cotton, thermo jacquard). It can only be cotton to the touch, but in fact it is 100% polyester. Most often it can be washed in washing machine unlike chenille and jacquard, which tend to shrink.

3 . window textile

Draperies on windows are perhaps the most popular way to use fabrics in interiors. In addition, window design today (and earlier too) acts as one of the most important elements interior as such. How the window is framed depends a lot. general impression living space. This is easily explained by the fact that any person entering the house first of all glances at the window - the source of illumination.

AT different styles their traditions of window decoration dominate, which accentuates the general atmosphere of the room on its luxury or modesty, formality or comfort, sophistication or simplicity, efficiency or frivolity. Therefore, the color of the fabric for window curtains, its pattern and texture, as well as the cut and method of assembling the curtains, can emphasize the stylistic decision of the room. So, for example, linen curtains are appropriate for interior design in eco-friendly styles, organza and brocade in ethnic and romantic styles, cold silk in high-tech style, and velvet is already a privilege of classicism and baroque. A pastoral flower on the curtains, a check and a stripe are French Provence, German Biedermeier and Western country, and plain-colored curtains in pastel colors or rich colors and arabesques are already the “breath of the East”.

If speak about fashion trends window decoration, it is appropriate to dwell on two main (and opposite) directions. The first is multi-section drapery, the second is the absence of additional fabric design.

In the first case, a spectacular look is given to the curtains due to the special cutting of the canvas, layering and exquisite drapery. French curtains(marquises) can become a "highlight" of the interior, bring a touch of bohemianism to living rooms and bedrooms. Austrian and London curtains differ from awnings in a more restrained drapery, they look elegant in dining rooms and children's rooms.

The second option focuses all attention on the quality, texture and color of the fabric, when it simply closes the window without additional pickups and assemblies (Japanese and Roman curtains). Roman blinds - an almost universal model - can be used in the design of both strict cabinets and children's rooms; in a classic setting and in an ultra-modern space. With Japanese panel curtains, you can not only decorate, but also organize the space, using them as partitions.

An even more compact version of window drapery is cafe curtains, roller blinds and pleated curtains, which are attached to the frame and leave free space in front of the window.

4 . Furniture textiles

An important element of the interior is furniture upholstery. Covered or sewn to the base, it can update furniture or bring a special flavor to the overall design of the room. Now popular upholstery from the most different types fabrics: jacquard, silk, velvet, tapestry, cotton, natural or artificial leather, artificial suede.

Fabric manufacturers offer thousands of color options and hundreds of embossings. Possibility of custom upholstery upholstered furniture. This is embroidery, decoration with decorative elements and much more. Modern designers recommend using not the usual upholstery sewn to the base, but switching to removable covers. They are easy to care for, in addition, the use of covers allows you to change the upholstery of furniture, and with it update the interior.

Covers for upholstered furniture can be everyday and perform protective functions (this is especially true for expensive or luxury furniture) or, on the contrary, the cheapest and most unpresentable sofas and armchairs with the help of covers will turn into a highlight of your interior, emphasize its style and set the right tone.

Another element of furniture textiles, capes, also acts in the same capacity. They are easy to replace, easy to wash (or clean) and just as easy to make (cut, sew, knit). Sofa cushions - thoughts are also able to set the mood for the interior. From choosing the shape of such pillows, its color and finish, the mood of your home can vary from nostalgic to the most frivolous. And it’s not worth talking a lot about the additional feeling of comfort that sofa cushions create.

Furniture textiles are especially relevant when the usual upholstered furniture is already tired, but has not yet worked out its service life. It's too early to change it, but I want changes. That's when interchangeable covers, capes and bedspreads come to the rescue, the choice of materials for which is almost unlimited - from the most dense and heavy to weightless and "shaggy". Having such a change of clothes, you can update the situation in your house several times during the year, depending on the season or your own mood.

5 . Bed textiles

Textiles are widely used to create the interior of a bedroom. The design of this room does not take place without the use of such elements as bed linen and bedspreads. These details should not only harmonize with each other in color, but also be combined with other fabric elements (curtains, decorative pillows, capes, etc.). In addition, since the bed is the center of the bedroom, its decoration becomes Starting point when creating the overall design of this room.

Textiles for the interior of the bedroom, this, of course, is a rather intimate topic. But here, too, everything is subject not only to functionality and intended purpose, but also to the laws of interior design. Eco-friendly fabrics for children's bedding are one thing, a comfortable bed for an elderly person is another, and a romantic or passionate love bed is quite another.

Despite the privacy of this element of the interior, bed textiles can easily compete in importance with window textiles.

Among all directions textile design for the bedroom, two can be distinguished: traditional and minimalist.

Minimalism is, first of all, functionality, conciseness and simplicity, natural fabrics, calm colors and austerity of bed linen.

The traditional stylistic direction is a special bliss, sentimentality, comfort, all kinds of "decorations". There is already a place for lovers of comfort, romantic natures and admirers of sophistication to turn around. In addition to soft pillows and blankets, there are also bed curtains and canopies, as well as bed linen of various styles and colors. In addition, bedspreads are also a very significant element of bedroom interior design, especially if they are in harmony with the design of window curtains.

6 . Table textiles

As for textiles in the interior of the dining room, the fashion for it is quite conservative. Table textiles are tablecloths, napkins and towels, the most common fabrics for which are linen and cotton. Of course, one should not discount such a gift of scientific and technological progress as new synthetic materials (waterproof, wrinkle-resistant, etc.) that are actively used in the production of table linen, but at the same time skillfully imitate the texture and appearance natural fabrics.

Decorations for table textiles remain classic - lace, hemstitch, embroidery, figured border. And the table linen itself has almost passed into the category of interior decorations and holiday attributes. Any solemn event is strongly associated with starched tablecloths and beautifully folded napkins.

In interior design with the help of table textiles, the same rules continue to apply:

The general tone of the tablecloth should be lighter than the main (predominant) color in the interior;

napkins can be the same color as the tablecloth, and also much darker or lighter;

· a combination of napkins and tablecloths of different colors is acceptable, as well as a combination of contrasting tablecloths with a multi-layer design of the roof;

The color of table textiles affects appetite: orange, red and white increase it, while blue and black extinguish it.

7 . Wall textiles

Drapery with fabric curtains is one of the most spectacular ways of textile decoration of a space. Thanks to this original technique, it is possible to achieve a complete division of space without erecting partitions. Curtains help to create separate zones in restaurants, hotels and individual chambers of the most sophisticated private interiors. The decorative function of curtains lies in their special property to enhance warmth and comfort, as well as in a sense of the solemnity of being.

Canopies are a rarity and an original solution in modern interiors. And this is quite natural. Such a luxurious piece of fabric decoration requires a very specific space and a special atmosphere filled with noble wealth. The very exquisite luxury that is not afraid of close attention and original details, worthy of the most selective filling. Whether lush and regal or light and playful in fabric canopies, interiors are unique spaces.

Textile wallpaper demonstrate perfect combination highest aesthetic and operational properties. A rare interior, designed by the owners to become exceptional, does without such wall coverings. Upon closer inspection, the walls, decorated with textile wallpaper, leave the impression of a space upholstered in luxurious fabrics. And it brings to it a special, vintage mood. However, the impression of modern, industrial interiors is often also enhanced by textile wallpapers.

Conclusion

Textile is always the final chord in the harmony of the interior, and the overall perception of the appearance of the room often depends on how pure and beautiful the sound of this chord is.

At the same time, neglecting the emotional and aesthetic impact of textile components can negate all the efforts of architects and "kill" the interior decor. In addition, it has long been known that touching the soft surface of a fabric can evoke a lot of emotions: calm and relax, or vice versa excite, give a festive mood or set the body in a philosophical mood, give a pleasant coolness in the heat or warm in the slush and cold.

Even the most “serious” exclusive design project cannot do without beautiful textile elements, designed to add some variety to its appearance and slightly dilute its severity, filling the house with an atmosphere of comfort. Beautiful curtains and curtains on the windows, decorative bedspreads on upholstered furniture, wall panels, tulle and other decorative components of the situation - they do not go out of fashion and are an integral part of the interior, designed in any of the modern or classic styles, favorably emphasizing its uniqueness and delighting owners with aesthetics and workmanship.

Times pass, architectural styles change, and fabrics remain one of the best ways to decorate interiors.

Speaking about the interior, it is difficult to say what is its fundamental and important part. Someone attaches great importance to the decoration of walls and floors, someone - to furniture, others - to accessories. In fact, the interior is an indivisible totality in which every component is important. To achieve harmony in space, it is necessary to pay due attention to each element and its role in creating an overall balance. Design is like a microcosm in which everything is closely interconnected and exists according to its own exclusive patterns. Today we will discuss the role of textiles in the interior and talk about some features that are worth considering. Textile is an integral part residential buildings and apartments office buildings, places of entertainment and recreation, and almost any room. It is difficult to imagine the absence of textiles when creating a decor, but be sure that where it is still not there, there can be no comfort.

The use of textiles in different styles

The presence of textiles in interior design has been known since time immemorial. Changes in shape and texture are preceded by new trends and fashion trends of a particular period of time. Undoubtedly, the most “magnificent time” in the world of textile decoration, and perhaps fashion and design in general, is the Baroque. In this riot of luxury, tapestries, lint-free carpets, natural and thick curtains, canopies, luxurious bed decorations with multiple ruffles, fringe, and tassels were used. Each element was distinguished by its majestic size as distinctive feature. You can probably talk about the style of Baroque decorations for hours, but we will focus on the most striking examples of its reflection in textiles, which will help to further emphasize, add or recreate this style.

At the sight of curtains running along the wall, almost from the ceiling to the floor, with drapery of expensive, massive fabric, there is no question about the style that the decorator resorted to. However, it is worth noting that if in that era the curtains were made of expensive dense fabric - brocade, satin or velvet with gold embroidery or appliqué, gold tassels and fringe; at the present time, the same form and massive expensive fabric are used, while embroidery, as a rule, is replaced by an ornament made of onyx, tortoise, malachite, or other natural materials, which emphasizes the grandeur and luxury of the overall composition.

Natural and bright fabrics, intricate details or stripes, fringe, drapery are predominantly used in furniture upholstery. Skin, as a sign of bad taste, was excluded.

When decorating the bedrooms, the beds were decorated with canopies with bows and ruffles.

It is very important that the abundance of fabrics of different textures form harmonious combination overall composition. To achieve this result, it is recommended to use one color scheme.

The Empire style, which originated in France, was also famous for its pomp. Rich decoration, executed in accordance with absolute symmetry and balance general view, containing elements of military symbols, is designed to emphasize the ideas of power and authority. The use of plain fabrics with gold embroidery gave a palatial atmosphere. The color palette is chosen in accordance with the colors of the flag of France - red, blue and white. The decoration of the bedroom was complemented by the use of canopies and silk, which covered the walls of the room.

Considering times closer to us, we will not see the predominance of decoration and luxury inherent in Baroque and Empire. For example, Art Nouveau embodied the idea of ​​transition from right angles and lines to "natural", smoother and more curved. Often the ornaments of the plant world were taken as the basis. Asymmetry in the use of fabrics, the fabrics of which were often wrapped around a metal cornice, imitating waves, without a strict fastening structure, give an overall lightness and dynamics. Fabric curtains will add smoothness to the interior rectangular shape, collected with a decorative cord. Plain patterns are preferred for ornament. Calm, natural, natural colors that do not hurt the eyes with their brightness.

Pop art introduced the idea of ​​using the same fabric for both upholstery and drapes. Geometric shapes, bright catchy colors flowing from one interior element to another create a homogeneous cozy space. Furniture upholstery and curtains are preferably of the same texture and a single ornament. Preference is given to glossy and synthetic fabrics.

Currently, more and more designers are deciding on the use of space, giving preference to minimalism. Modest geometric shapes, in the absence of any decor, allow you to achieve the maximum functionality of the available area. Textile products are distinguished by the absence of all possible frills - brushes, ruffles. Lambrequins in creation this style- are not allowed. To give comfort, you can use carpets with a uniform pile. Decor elements are made in uniform colors, without patterns and ornaments, forming a space for peace and relaxation.

Discussing the stylistic use of fabrics, it is also worth touching on high-tech, which stands out for its rigor, coldness and limited use of textiles. Preference is given to synthetic fabrics of silvery, cold tones. The decoration of the living room allows the presence of elements of bright color. Bright orange or red can be easily found on furniture upholstery or blankets, synthetic and coarse-cut pillows. An element emphasizing the dynamics and contrast of the interior is bed linen, matched to the color of the walls, complementing the unity of style.

Knitted decorations, ethnic ornaments, natural colors and materials used to decorate the space are elements of the Scandinavian style that many people love. Light colors of natural tones, curtains made of thin cotton, tulle with splashes of color and linen roller blinds radiate lightness and simplicity, inviting you. Natural materials and pastel colors give the desired comfort and peace of mind.

Combination of textures and print

In addition to the fact that with the help of textiles you can easily add elements of another era to the present, dilute a boring interior or change the style, textiles can also help with accents in the interior. For example, make the ceilings visually higher, brighten the room, add volume to the space.

When combining texture and print in textiles, first of all, we need to look at what style we want to see the finished version in. If it is high-tech, then all materials should be synthetic, and coarse, dense, monophonic materials are suitable for upholstery or furniture. The curtains are light, silvery tones, without a print that would be out of place.

Choosing your favorite Scandinavian style, in addition to ethnic patterns and natural fabrics, knitted items, blankets or chair covers for ottomans will look good. Of course, whatever style you choose, you need to understand the importance of combining textiles with a common color solution space. With regards to the combination of prints of the entire room, it is necessary to ensure that it is in harmony in color or shape in order to avoid a general imbalance. The shape of the print implies the addition of a harmonious image, and not the exact repetition of existing elements. It should be understood that a print with sharp corners will not go well with rounded lines and prints that have circles. If you do not have a binding to a specific style, then mixing textures always creates interesting image, conveying individuality, suitable for you. Perhaps the most important rule is to trust your intuition and succumb to the will of choice, because in our time, with its transience and diversity, you need to try everything!

Speaking of techniques that can be used - working with curtains, volume and lighting. Here are the simplest effective methods to increase space and give volume to the room:

Curtains should be from the ceiling to the floor, and maybe a little bit on it;

Curtains should be of light fabric or tulle;

Curtains should be in small frequent assembly;

Curtains should be white or very light, pale shades and / or have vertical light thin stripes;

If you need to add not only volume, but also visually enlarge the windows, the curtains should not be assembled, but located on both sides of the window and executed in the same color as the walls. It is advisable to follow all the rules listed above.

Textiles must be suitable for a particular room. For example, with the help of vertical stripes, you can make the space wider, and with horizontal stripes make the window wider. When developing options for an approach to arranging a room, one should not forget that in addition to practical benefits, the solutions used can also be harmful and affect the final result. You should not abuse them in the interior, because satiety in this matter will bear the imprint of bad taste, adding only ripples in the eyes. Also, thick curtains of bright colors in a small room will significantly reduce the visual space, despite the rest of the elements in it. In any case, you should always think about the quality of the material, how durable, natural, waterproof it is, whether it is suitable for use in a given area.

In the context of the use of textiles and its history, styles and their features, we will try to predict further dynamics, look into the future and its trends. Technological innovations do not stand still and bring new properties and applications to familiar things.

Currently preferred natural fabrics have acquired properties that do not fade, polymer coatings and impregnation allow light and moisture to pass through, expanding the scope of application in combination with the durability of the material. Europe, in particular Italy, is an innovator in the development of textiles and fabric production. The changing attitude towards design in a positive way is encouraging. The ongoing import substitution opens the way for textile production, providing an opportunity to keep up with the times and open up new directions. So, for example, Valentin Yudashkin plans to open a textile cluster in 2017, since, in his opinion, it is quite possible to make textiles in our country that can compete with Western models. We will be able to observe the implementation of these plans in the near future.

It is impossible to imagine the interior without textile materials. First of all, we present curtains for windows, bedspreads for furniture, and upholstery for suites. These are not only necessary things in the interior, but also an indispensable participant in the creation of a special interior design.

Among the wide variety of fabrics, two groups can be distinguished:

  1. Natural textiles.
  2. artificial fabrics.

Each variety has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on its qualities, textiles find their application in almost any room design.

Features of the use of textiles in the interior

Fabrics are an indispensable attribute when decorating an apartment. They are used not only in residential premises, but also in public buildings. Only their choice in this case will, of course, be different.

For administrative buildings, you can choose the following fabrics:

  • The color scheme should be more restrained in order to adjust to the working mood.
  • It is worth choosing fabrics with a discreet pattern or without it at all.
  • It is advisable to select synthetic materials, they are easier to wash, clean, that is, more practical.

When using textiles, the following techniques are used:

  1. The use of fabrics as the main accents in the design of rooms.
  2. Textiles only serve as an addition to the rest of the interior.
  3. The fabric provides a neutral background for other decorative elements.

The first approach involves the use decorative materials, which are most often seen in public buildings. For these purposes, you can use the following products:

  • Furniture upholstery.
  • Curtains on the windows.
  • Tapestry.
  • Floor coverings.

When decorating private housing, textiles are also often used as the main focus. Everyone has seen a bright carpet on the floor more than once at a party or with their friends, which immediately attracts attention.

When textiles are used as a neutral tone in order to highlight painting, stained glass, mosaics, it is necessary to make a selection with this in mind.

Color range of materials

Color plays one of the important roles when choosing such a decor for a room. In addition, it can have a special psychological effect, all psychologists can confirm this.

There are no friends for color and taste, as the proverb says, so the choice also depends on the preferences of each. In this matter, it is very important to choose the color range of textile elements in such a way that a balance can be traced between calm tones and more lively and bright ones.

If you make the right choice, the interior will turn out to be lively and interesting. Warm shades can be a little exciting nervous system especially for red.

Do not use a lot of scarlet in the bedroom, otherwise you will have a hard time falling asleep.

For offices, for example, green curtains, bedspreads are perfect. This color has a calming effect, contributes to long-term preservation of performance.

When choosing textiles, pay attention to the color scheme of all surfaces, for example, what color are the walls, ceilings, floors.

natural fabrics

When decorating the interior, natural fabrics are often used. These are: linen, cotton, silk, wool. They have their own advantages and disadvantages. They always look good and are eco-friendly.

Please note that natural fabrics after washing can change their size.

The disadvantages of textiles in this group include its fear of direct sunlight. Under their influence, they become faded, lose their color, so these fabrics are undesirable to use on the south side.

When you purchase a furniture set with upholstery made from natural fabrics, pay attention to all the seams. Any flaw will immediately catch your eye.

Artificial textile

In spite of a large number of advantages, natural fabrics are still used infrequently. This can be explained by their relatively high cost. Among the most commonly used are: lavsan, fleece, acrylic and others.

Such fabrics are more durable, they have a smooth and flat surface, and therefore look more impressive when used.

Among the disadvantages of such textiles, I would like to note:

  • Poor air throughput, as they say, such fabrics do not breathe.
  • Capable of accumulating static electricity.

Due to the fact that synthetics are not able to breathe, it is not recommended to use it in bedding, it is more environmentally friendly to use natural fabrics.

Textiles in interior design

After the repair is completed, we proceed to the decoration and decoration of the premises. For this, textiles are actively used. It can be used not only to create a special style, but also when planning rooms. For example, instead of partitions, you can hang fabric curtains.

They will add not only colors to the interior, but also make it lighter by replacing massive partitions.

Functional areas in the room can also be delimited by textiles. If you put carpet in one. This technique is often used in the children's room, when a beautiful carpet is placed on the floor in the play area.

Another mandatory area of ​​​​use of textiles is window decoration. Here it performs several functions at once:

  • Regulate the flow of sunlight into the room.
  • They are also an indispensable attribute of creating a special style.

It is not entirely appropriate to use heavy curtains with lambrequins in an interior decorated in a modern style.

  1. If the interior is decorated in a calm eco-style, then it is advisable to use natural fabrics, such as linen and cotton.
  2. Provence style prefers curtains in a small pattern.
  3. The classic interior prefers expensive materials such as velvet and brocade.
  4. Minimalism does not accept heaps, so you should use light silk for curtains.

Textiles in the bedroom

This room, like no other, is rich in the presence of a variety of fabric details. The features of this room leaves its mark on their choice. In the bedroom, a person rests, gains strength and restores his peace of mind, That's why main recommendation is the choice of natural fabrics.
