Fabric is everything! The right fabric will make or break your room's dÃ©cor. Color, design, and texture are all elements to pay attention to. So, let's talk about the best fabrics to choose from for home decorating. The first thing to influence your choice is the application. What are you using the fabric for? Slipcovers, upholstery, window treatments, bedding, or accessories?

Linen is a very classic fabric with durability, but it does have a tendency to wrinkle. A blend of cotton and a synthetic fiber is the best choice when using linens. Linens work in any dÃ©cor. This fabric is suitable for all applications.
Twill (denim) is a very sturdy fabric. It is great for family and children's rooms. A 12 ounce density or less is best. This fabric is suitable for all applications.
Canvas
Duck is another durable fabric that can hold its own in almost any dÃ©cor. The density is the same as twills. This fabric is suitable for all applications.
Sateen and polished cottons are usually the fabric of choice for prints. This type of fabric is fine for most slipcover applications, but try to avoid it for upholstery purposes.
Bark Cloth is another very classic fabric. This fabric has a texture. It was very popular during the 1940s and is regaining popularity. This fabric is suitable for all applications.
Sheets (with at least a 250 thread count): Sheeting fabric wears very well. Think about how much you use your bedding, how often you clean it, and how long it usually lasts. This could be an inexpensive choice to make a quick dÃ©cor change. Avoid using for upholstery purposes.
Damasks, Jacquards, and Velvets are more toward the upholstery weight fabric and do present some problems when using them for slipcovers but will present you with beautiful dÃ©cor. These fabrics are suitable for all applications.
