Soft Home Furnishing for the Modern Interiors

 

When it comes to interior decorating, fabrics are crucial. The interiors gain color, comfort, and aesthetic value from it.

The weaving is what really differentiates items.

There are many types of fibers that are referred to as natural fibers and others that are referred to as artificial fibers. Natural fibers include things like silk, cotton, linen, jute, and cashmere. Of these, cotton and linen are the most widely used for clothing. Natural fibers are the ideal material for a hot and humid climate since they are simple to wash and maintain, cost-effective, and airy. It comes with an embroidered or hand-painted motif. As opposed to linen, cotton has a shiny appearance. The second natural fiber is wool, which is made from sheep's natural fiber fleece, and silk, which is made from a silkworm cocoon and comes in natural colours that are dyed to create lovely shades and colours.

Add colour to them

Utilizing age-old methods like Bandini , ikat, and embroidery, fabrics are coloured. Vegetable dyes and a process are used to colour the fabric. Bandini is another name for tie-dye, in which the fabric is tied and dipped in various colours to produce a variety of patterns and motifs. After treatment, the coloured fabric is spread out to dry in the open. The dyeing of bed sheets and pillowcases with this technique is fairly common. The yarn used in Ikat dyeing is coloured using natural dyes and then woven in various designs. It was also used to produce tablecloths and lamp shades in addition to bed sheets and pillowcases. The woven fabric in ikat is not coloured, whereas that is the only distinction between the two dyes.

Embroidery used as a design element

Bed sheets, tablecloths, and pillowcases with embroidery are very popular. To create some breathtaking designs, a plain bed sheet or pillow cover is filled with floral and leaf designs using cotton and satin threads and a needle. Aari work from Andhra Pradesh, Got a from Rajasthan, Kantha from West Bengal, Phulkari design from Punjab, and Chikankari work from Lucknow are some of the most famous embroideries in our country.

Fabric re-upholstery

The fabric for the sofa and dining chairs should be chosen based on the climatic conditions and the customer's lifestyle. Cotton fabrics with less thread work, mirror work, or zardozi work should be chosen for homes with a lot of hustle and bustle, as they may be ruined by constant washing and cleaning. Upholstery fabric should be soft and comfortable for long periods of sitting. Leather should never be used in humid climates because it is not airy and traps a lot of heat because it is not porous, despite the fact that it gives the furniture a very neat and clean appearance. The bright color of the upholstery gives the room a modern and urban chic appearance.

Curtains for the windows and doors

The most common materials for curtains are silk, cotton, polyester, or rayon. In hot and humid areas, heavier fabrics like velvet or jacquard should be avoided. Although many people always choose light-colored, free-flowing sheer. It is wrinkle and shrink resistant, highly lightweight, and simple to keep and clean. Simply wash, dry, and hang up once completely dry. With ceramic or bone curtain folders, the curtain can be quickly pulled back if it is disturbing you or limiting your view. It also looks tidy and organised. Another benefit of sheer fabric over other types of curtain fabric is that it lets in more natural light and air.

Carpeted floors never go out of style

Another approach to add colour and warmth to the interiors is to install a great, colourful rug in a room to define it while also hiding the flooring it is placed on. Rugs and carpets can be ordered online or via a furniture store. You might get a Persian carpet or a carpet made by the local Kashmiri weavers in the comfort of your own home to give the flooring an artistic and traditional appeal. They are handcrafted, include some of the most beautiful designs, and give the flooring of the home a classic feel.
