Beautiful Fabrics

Consider beauty and function when you make your selections. Natural fabrics include cotton, leather, linen, silk, suede and wool while synthetics include acetate, acrylic, microfiber, nylon, olefin, polyester, rayon and vinyl. Synthetics tend to be more durable than natural fibers, but not always. A lot depends on the finish applied to a fabric or the weave that’s used, as much as the inherent fabric itself. The most obvious initial decisions are: - Fabric color family - Whether fabric is solid color or has a pattern - Fabric texture and weave - Whether fabric is woven, crocheted, knit or pressed Select fabric first for beauty since the look of your home is paramount, but also, consider how your fabric will be used so you’ll be happy with your decision over the long term. For example, the nature of fabrics that are optimal for a heavily-used great room sofa will be quite different than those for a seldom-used decorative chair in your entry. Always think about durability and stain resistance if you have pets or children. Also, consider how much damaging sunlight enters a room. Your fabric choices create the underpinning of your interior design plan and are critical to the beauty of your rooms. Consider carefully and get professional advice before you buy.  STORE HOURS Monday through Friday  10am-4pm We are happy to assist you at any other time, including evenings and weekends...
