The weave is what makes the difference
There are two types of fibres: natural fibres and artificial fibres. Natural fibres include silk, cotton, linen and jute. Of all the fabrics, cashmere and linen are most popular. Natural fibres are lightweight, easy-to-clean, economical, and airy, making them the ideal choice for hot and humid climates. You can choose from a hand-painted or embroidered design. The matte look of cotton is different from the glossy look of linen. Wool is another natural fibre, which is made from natural fibres fleeced from sheep or silk derived form the silkworm cocoon. It is available in natural colours that have been dyed to create beautiful shades and colours. The fibres made from artificial fibres and natural fibres are stable, crease-resistant, and do not shrink. However, they are not suitable for humid climates due to their low absorptive ability.
Color them!
Traditional techniques such as the Bandini, Ikat and embroidery are used to colour fabrics. The fabric is colored using both technique and vegetable dyes. Bandini, also known as tie-and-dye, is where the fabric is tied and dipped into different colours to create different patterns and designs. After the dye is applied, it is left to dry in the open. This method of dyeing is popular for making pillow covers and sheets. Ikat dyeing involves dyeing yarn with natural colours and weaving it in various patterns. It is used to make pillow covers and bed sheets, as well as table cloth and lampshades. There is one difference between the two dyes. In ikat, the yarn must be first dyed and then woven into fabric. You can also add colour to your interiors by using block printing to create bed sheets and pillow covers.
As an element of design, embroidery is used

Fabric upholstery
You should choose the right fabric for your sofa and dining chairs based on the climate and lifestyle of the customer. A house that is busy with people should choose cotton fabrics without mirror work, thread work, or zardosi. It might be damaged by repeated washing and cleaning. Upholstery should be comfortable enough to sit for extended periods of time. It is best not to use leather in areas with humid climates as it is too dense and heats quickly. However, it gives furniture a neat and clean appearance. The room will look modern and chic with a bright color of upholstery.
Curtains for doors and windows
Curtains are available in a variety of fabrics, including silk, rayon, polyester, and cotton. Avoid heavy velvet and jacquard fabrics in humid areas. Light coloured, free-flowing sheers are the best choice. It is easy to clean, lightweight and shrink-resistant. It is easy to wash, dry, and hang up after it has dried completely. You can tie the curtains back with bone or ceramic curtain folders if the drape is too flowing. This will keep it in place, and makes it look neater and more organized. The sheer fabric has a distinct advantage over other curtain fabrics in that it doesn’t block natural light or air from windows and doors.
