Factors to consider before choosing fabrics for your Home or Office

There are a lot of variety of fabrics in the market, we cannot just pick a random one from the catalogue and expect that it will work for us. We have to invest a little time to think and consider choosing the right one.

Color or Shade

Color plays a pivotal role in creating the perfect mood and tone. Some color makes the room look smaller, on the other hand, some color make it look wider.  For a smaller room, always light pastel shades should be used with lighter fabrics, by doing this; your room will look wider. If the fabrics have a print on them, make sure that they blend well with the theme and mood of the room.

Texture

Attaining a right texture is always important to bring in an added layer. If your room is plain without any specific home decor, you can opt for one textural element in the fabric that will give the room an edge. Functionality is something you should keep in mind while talking about textures. Cleaning and maintaining is also a significant factor to choose the texture. For example, wool, velvet, and even microfiber can prove more difficult to maintain if there are pets and children in the house.

The Purpose

Instead of mere enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your home, the fabrics you choose should be functional. The fabrics should be useful for your home. If your home is situated in such a direction, where strong sunrays and UV rays enters at a stretch in the daytime. The fabric of your curtain should be thick with dark shades so that, it can protect the interior from this harmful effect of UV rays.

Thread Count

While choosing the fabric, thread count or the number of threads per square inch is an important parameter for accomplishing the perfect and purposeful home decor. Thread count determines the tightness of fabric weaving. The higher the thread count, the stronger and long-lasting fabric is.
