"Weight" for me


When choosing a fabric for your room, consider weight; it will have a great impact on your decision. Lightweight fabrics, such as sheers, are rather delicate and wouldn't be recommended in a room where there would be a lot of “wear and tear.” This type of fabric will give a softer, airy ambiance to your room. Medium-weight fabrics are ideal to work with. They are strong enough to withstand tension, but light enough to gather or drape. This weight of fabric is very versatile and can be used for slip covers, bed spreads, panels, or table cloths; making your decorating dreams almost effortless. Heavyweight fabrics are perfect when creating an ostentatious room. They can be used as drapes or upholstery depending on your preference. Heavyweights are rich and lush fabrics that will give your room the luxuriant touch it needs.
