Textures are a crucial element in creating modern interiors. Stylish linen, burlap, textured cotton, wool fabrics, as well as blends, boucle, natural silk, and velour, have a natural origin and offer beautiful ways to add unique texture to interior decorating. The stylish home fabrics are environmentally friendly and affordable. Here is the Lushome guide to warm home decorating fabrics that feature trendy texture.

Warm, textured fabrics can cozy up any space. They blend comfort, style, and functionality into modern homes, transforming rooms into beautiful and inviting spaces. These home fabrics create emotional warmth and visual softness. Layers of textures mix smooth and nubby home fabrics to increase the room’s appeal and create depth. Warm fabrics and neutral wall colors balance the interiors, allowing for unique designs.

Linen and burlap

Linen is used to sew home textiles (bedspreads and decorative pillows, light curtains, tablecloths and towels), and is used to tie furniture (if it contains dacron, viscose or polyester). Burlap is more decorative, as it is used for sewing intricate curtains, rugs, and covers for chairs and armchairs in a country-style interior.

Linen is an entirely natural textile. It allows air to pass through, does not cause allergic reactions, is durable, and the surface does not slip off. The fabric is easy to wash. Linen fabric shrinks significantly after washing, wrinkles easily, and is difficult to smooth out; it should not be washed in hot water. Burlap is more elastic and creases less. It also breathes well. Burlap is a coarser type of linen fiber, similar to jute and hemp, with a light weave.

Wool felt

This non-woven material is produced from the wool of rabbits, sheep, and goats by felting at a high temperature. A dense and durable felt is ideal for creating a wide variety of decorative accessories and interior elements. Carpets, furniture upholstery, decorative pillows, throws, pet furniture, and crafts are just a few ways to add unique, warm accents to interior decorating.

Felt and wool blends are easy to work with. These textiles are ideally suited to create and maintain the item’s shape. Felt is easy to cut. It does not crumble, but rather crumples, returns to its shape, and can be washed repeatedly. Modern felt fabrics and wool blends are warm, soft, breathable, and available in a wide range of colors.

Velour

Velour is a beautiful and very decorative fabric with a pile on the front. It is pretty dense, made of cotton or wool, and sometimes with added synthetic polyester or viscose. The material is used for window curtains, sofa cushions, and upholstered furniture. Exclusive interior decorating uses velour as a wallcovering material. Velour is strong and durable. It resists mechanical stress and does not require ironing, as it does not crease.

Boucle

The fabric is a woolen cloth made from shaped yarn with small knots on the threads, giving the boucle surface a peculiar appearance. There are boucle fabrics made from cotton, viscose, silk, or synthetic fibers, as well as those woven from special twisted yarns, creating simple patterns. Modern interior decorating ideas incorporate boucle curtains, rugs, pillows, and use thicker boucle fabrics for blankets and furniture upholstery.

Boucle fabrics can be multicolored or created with solid color yarn. Boucle fabrics are characterized by their loose, soft texture and a mottled, bumpy structure. It is easy to make boucle puffs, and cats love to play with boucle surfaces. It is not easy to clean, as a boucle fabric stretches and loses its good appearance after washing. It is better to use dry cleaning services.
