When there is less light outside the window, you want to make up for the lack of colors and vitamins within the walls of your home. Needless to say, the easiest way to solve this problem is by replacing interior textiles? We bring to your attention a selection of ideas on how to use bright textiles in decoration without compromising your wallet or good taste.
Lampshades
Lampshade, this is a traditional detail table lamp or a sconce whose appearance you can change with your own hands.
Select one or two lamps in your living room or bedroom and reupholster them using interior fabric with a large floral print or geometric pattern. Thanks to one single detail, the atmosphere will be transformed!
A bright lampshade will “work” in the interior, even when the lamp is turned off.
Neon Accents
Retro 1980s is coming into fashion, which means neon accents in the interior. Bright fluorescent colors can invigorate anyone, charging them with energy from morning until late winter evening. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to buy a sofa with acid-green or pink upholstery, which causes consternation among guests and household members. A couple of sofa cushions, a tablecloth or a textile panel on the wall will be enough to put you in a positive mood even in the gloomiest weather.
Stoles and blankets
A cozy blanket is a must-have piece of furniture in the winter, and not only because you can keep warm in it. A blanket can be a great accent color if you carefully throw it over the back of a chair, lay it out on the bed, or casually throw it on the sofa.
If there is no suitable blanket in the house, use a stole or a large, warm scarf instead - they will look much better in the interior than on a shelf in the closet!
Knitted accents
Not only color, but also texture can invigorate and refresh the interior. Large knit interior accessories will come in handy for winter, because you can knit a sweater not only for yourself, but also for a sofa cushion, pouf, or to please your loved ones with a cozy knitted blanket for the sofa.
To make your new accessory look stylish, it is better to choose one, or maximum two, colors and focus on an interesting, textured knit. Especially interesting effect it turns out if you replace the threads with thin knitted strips and take the thickest knitting needles or hook.
If you like the idea, but you don’t know how to knit, an interior blanket, rug or pouf with a large knit is easy to find in the store.
Headboard
This idea is not new, but for some reason it is in little demand in domestic interiors. It’s not at all difficult to update your bedroom interior and turn a “mattress with legs” into a luxurious designer bed. An important role in the design of the bed is played by the headboard, which can even be built from a sheet of plywood on the wall, after upholstering it with a beautiful and unusual fabric.
A furniture stapler, accuracy and imagination will help you cope with this task. To make the headboard look voluminous and soft to the touch, a layer of foam rubber must be laid between the upholstery fabric and the base.
During the cold season, we spend more time at home, so warmth, coziness and comfort should reign there. So why not start arranging with such little things as pleasing to the eye fabrics?

Bright and rich furniture upholstery, curtains and decorative pillows- this is the most effective and simple way to refresh the interior and add colors, ornaments and textures to it. When choosing eye-catching interior textiles, it is important to take into account technical nuances, which will determine the comfort and durability of the fabrics. What should you pay attention to first of all?
Interior by Clarcke & Clarkke
Beautiful interior fabrics sometimes cost no less than the pieces of furniture themselves, which is why it is so important to understand at least a little technical aspects so as not to get into trouble and not overpay too much. There are two main methods for monochromatic dyeing of textiles: in a drum with running water and rotary dyeing using rollers installed in paint baths. Not so important technical details processes, as an opportunity in the salon to determine possible defects of the canvas by eye.
First of all, you should take a fairly large piece of fabric and bring it to the window. Many staining imperfections are visible only in the light, that is, when the curtains have already been purchased and are hanging in your living room. With rotary dyeing, this can be, for example, characteristic stripes on the fabric, which are especially common on cellulose fabrics. When drum painting, unpainted spots may occasionally appear, which can be seen in normal light, not held up to the light.

Why do jacquards, 3D fabrics, tartans and most upholstery fabrics cost significantly more than plain-dyed fabrics? The pattern on them is formed by the interweaving of colored threads, which are dyed and processed separately, which has a positive effect on the durability of the material, resistance to fading, and the brightness of the pattern, but, alas, also affects the cost. You can easily recognize this type of fabric, because on the reverse side the pattern will have the same structure and brightness as on the front.
It is doubtful that you will come across an obvious defect in this type of fabric, since they belong to the above-average price segment and are usually controlled by the technologist and salon staff. The main thing is to understand that this is a really high-quality jacquard and the pattern on the fabric is formed precisely by the interweaving of colored threads, and not applied in any other way.

However, there are a lot of interior fabrics with printed patterns at your service. The characteristics of such fabrics will depend on the level of the material and the quality of the dyes used. However, you can always extend the life of the paints if you line the printed curtains, protecting them from premature fading.
Now there are 3 main technologies for applying patterns to fabric: screen printing, rotary printing and digital printing. The easiest and most cost-effective way is stencils. It makes it possible to apply fine patterns even on dark fabrics, and the result is brighter and denser colors than with digital printing. However, it is necessary to carefully check the joints of the ornamental elements for possible errors.

Rotary printing using special rollers is the most common method for producing patterned curtain fabrics. This method does not fail at joints, but is limited in the number of colors and allows the design to be applied only to light-colored fabrics. Possible disadvantages that you need to pay attention to when purchasing: discrepancies between the details of the ornament and each other.
The fastest, most modern and expensive option is digital printing. It is indispensable when you need to apply a complex pattern with a large number details and shades, gradients, coupon prints. Only light synthetic fabrics are suitable for digital printing, and the print quality is very high. If you want to see a landscape with a sunset on the curtains, and a bouquet of daisies on the upholstery of the chair, digital printing will come to your aid, allowing you to apply images according to your personal order.
All this variety of fabrics and patterns exists for the sole purpose of adding zest to your interior. Another time-tested and still relevant option to do this is to use velvet, which remains one of the most spectacular upholstery fabrics. Of course, the velvet that is used for sewing clothes and for finishing furniture is different. Interior velvet does not have as much stretch as regular velvet, has a cotton or blend base and is abrasion resistant. The main thing to remember is that the material for upholstering furniture, curtains, etc. can only be purchased in specialized salons, but under no circumstances in stores selling fabrics for sewing clothes!

Synthetic furniture velvet can be washed, and various impregnations can protect the fabric from absorbing odors, fading or getting wet. However, when choosing velvet upholstery, you should be careful: rub the sample you like with any other fabric and make sure that excess lint does not stick to it, and also check how much it will electrify. Afraid possible problems There is no need for cleaning and maintenance. Dry cleaning, which can be ordered at your home on quite reasonable terms, will easily solve any problems.
Velvet fabrics in the interior cause a lot of prejudice, but caring for them is unlikely to be more labor-intensive than natural leather or other expensive upholstery materials, and the richness of texture and color will make a velvet sofa or armchairs a real highlight of a representative interior.
