selecting the right fabrics

11/9/2013

 
Picture
The process of choosing the right fabric takes several factors into consideration.  Rich fully understands the importance of coordinating the right fabric to be interpreted into a design image in your home.

In simple terms, he may describe two important factors: how the fabric looks, and how the fabric is to be used. And we can break fabric down into 4 main categories:

  • Upholstery weight fabric
  • Drapery weight and bedding
  • Lightweight use
  • Heavy use

Picture
Rich first identifies your needs and lifestyle in terms of the fabrics. He'll work to discover the functions the fabric will serve; how you would like to use the furniture that the fabric is applied to, and what is your lifestyle like. He may ask if you have children, pets, or if you enjoy entertaining a lot? He may even identify fabrics for light control in your home.

It’s an old saying borrowed, but ‘the form follows function’ rule applies to choosing the right fabrics for your design project, and Rich is an expert at creating the right applications for your design project.

Check back later this month for images from a recent project where these fabrics are currently being applied.
