How to Choose the Correct Fabric?

Chances are that you can’t decide on one kind of fabric and use it for your entire house! You need to consider your requirements for each room. Keep in mind the mood you want to create as well. Then, look through your options and get a fabric that is appropriate.
 
For instance, if you share your bedroom with a romantic partner, bed linen in soft silk would be a good choice. Team it with a cozy woolen rug on the floor for a cozy, romantic look. When getting curtains and linen for the kitchen, look for a material that is durable and hardy like nylon. If you have pets or small kids at home, avoid using expensive fabric that gets stained or torn.
