Creative interiors

Every apartment can be harmonized by using various furnishings to create the desired look.

Cushions were perhaps the earliest form of “furniture” used by man and initially would probably have been made from straw or dried leaves covered with a skin or fur. Since then, cushions in all shapes and sizes have adorned chairs, settees beds and they are still used on the floor to sit on.

Cushions serve both a practical and a decorative purpose in a room as they can soften the angular lines of modern furniture, add colour and excitement to a neutral scheme or give an impression of ease and luxury. Even if a bed or sofa does not actually need cushions, a great pile of them is somewhat comforting and satisfying.

There are enormous varieties of cushion shapes: square rectangular, round, heart-shaped, kite-shaped and bolster-shaped – and they can be made from almost every fabric imaginable. Floor cushions really need heavy-duty fabrics but the other shapes can be made with cotton, lace, satin, velvet, tapestry, gingham, patchwork; it all depends where the cushions are to be used and whether they are going to be purely decorative or receive a lot wear.

Basic curtains can be trimmed in various ways to produce different styles – smart and sophisticated, frilly and feminine, grand and theatrical. Provided it drapes or folds well, almost any material can be used for curtains. A fabric must complement the colour scheme of the room, but such things as the fabric weight and whether it is resistant to fading should also be considered. To prevent fabric fading the curtains can be lined, or sheer curtains or roller blinds can be used to act as a sunscreen and bear the brunt of strong sunlight. Fabric weight is important too – a thick fabric used for sill-length curtains could look bulky and stiff, whereas used for floor-length curtains it would hang better and add importance to the window.

Lampshades are essential functional items and they are very important in a furnishing scheme as they are also decorative and the light they dispense could make a vital difference to a night-time setting. The style of a lamp should therefore blend with the other furnishings, so the choice of lamp base and the colour and texture of the lampshades are all important.

Parchment and silk have been used for many years for lampshades and they still look right in traditional settings.

A tablecloth is a piece of cloth used to cover a table. This piece of home furnishings is creatively designed and adorned with laces, embroidery, embossing etc.

Tablecloths are produced in various ways, designs, and patterns. The demand for tablecloths is on the rise, as it is widely used for both functional and decorative purpose. Tablecloths are also used for protecting the table from scratches and stains. Damask and lace constructions are the most used for tablecloths.

Stylishly created tablecloths can go well with any kind of interiors and are available in modern and traditional designs. Bold colours, patterns are used for formal and casual setups.

A variety of man-made and natural materials are used for manufacturing high quality and durable tablecloths. Some of the widely used fabrics are: cotton, silk, linen, rayon, polyester.

Floor coverings have been made from various textile fibres for thousands of years. Throughout civilization, carpets and rugs have formed a part of different cultures, countries and civilizations. Priceless carpets and rugs made over hundreds of years ago in the East are exhibited in museums today.

Rugs and carpets serve as a colourful foundation for all the decorative plan and colour scheme for various rooms, schools, office buildings, hospitals, hotels etc.

The terms 'rug' and 'carpet' are often used synonymously, but the form or the size in which these coverings are manufactured differs. Rugs may vary in shape and size. Rugs and carpets are manufactured according to certain size standards.
