Fabrics complement the decor of a room. The trendy beauty of fabrics can give a facelift to any room. Fabrics for decorating home can be used in upholstery, couch covers, slip covers, window curtains, bed coverings, table tops, runners etc. A room without fabric in a home looks plain and boring and has a bare feel. Any room can be modified into a warm, cosy and inviting place to enjoy with family and friends or just to relax, by the right use of fabric for home decor.

We need to look at fabrics for various accessories in different rooms of our homes such as the curtains in the living room, rugs and hearth rugs spread before the fire, bed covers, mattresses, towels for bathrooms, sofa and couch covers, cushions, pillows and a array of other things.

Fabrics need to be chosen depending on our preferences for comfort, especially for the bedroom because comfort is the most important aspect when bedroom decor is being considered. For living room fabrics, we can select stylish as well as comfortable materials that complement other objects well.

There are various types of fabrics available for drapes that can be customised depending on the place they are being used in, like windows, bed hangings or door hangings. If we are concerned about the pricing, free flowing fabric is available in moderately priced textile showrooms. They have inexhaustible varieties of prints, be it floral, stripes, polka dots, hearts, checks, geometric patterns, cartoon characters, plain, zigzag and self-design . Buying a combination of these and getting them stitched as and when your budget permits is a good option. This way we can plan for the expenses well in advance and make our homes look beautiful without compromising on our choices.

Colours impose a specific character on room decor thus playing a pivotal role in creating a colourful surrounding. Display of decorative arrangements of fabrics helps in creating colour impact in a room. There are a variety of themes for home decor, each with its own specific style and colour. If you have selected a theme, the process of choosing the fabric for it becomes smooth, as different themes employ different fabrics. Your choice should focus on the fabrics that appeal to you. It would also be wise to remember that fabrics can be really expensive; and once you choose and buy a fabric, you could be stuck with it for a long time. Hence, it is very important to be absolutely sure that you like it before making the final purchase.
