- 3. CURTAINS • Curtains are manufactured from a variety of thick fabrics, each with a differing degree of light absorption and heat insulating qualities. • For maximum temperature control, the curtain gap to the window should be small, with minimum convection drafts below or above the curtain. • Various architectural structures around the curtain can minimize these air drafts, but usually they are just used for decoration and make rooms feel more cosy. • A sheer or net curtain is one that is made from translucent fabric, such as a loosely woven polyester voile or a cotton lace.
- 4. • Uncoated fabrics provide the next level of heat insulation. • Uncoated fabrics constitute the vast majority of fabrics used in curtains, and are composed of a tightly woven fabric, most typically a cotton/polyester blend, which is mostly opaque when viewed in ambient light. • Uncoated fabrics provide a reasonable level of heat insulation due to the tight weave of the fabric. • when curtains made from uncoated fabrics are closed in an attempt to block out direct sunlight, light will still be visible through the curtain.
- 5. Curtain styles • Flat panel curtains are simple and versatile: to make them, pieces of fabric are hemmed on all four edges and the final rectangular or square piece is hung from curtains poles with clip-on rings or something similar. • pleated, the look is strongly influenced by the fullness of the pleats. • Tab top curtains are made with narrow straps, that loop or tie at the top edge and hung from the curtain pole. This curtain style is often designed as two stationary panels at the sides of a window. • Grommet curtains are hung by threading the curtain pole through a hole in the top of the fabric.
- 6. • This could be either a cut-out hole with the edges finished by a row of stitching or it could use a grommet to prevent fraying. • Sash curtains are used to cover the lower sash of the windows. • Rod pocket curtains have a channel sewn into the top of the fabric. A curtain rod is passed through the channel to hang. • Thermal or Blackout curtains use very tightly woven fabric, usually in multiple layers. • They not only block out the light, but can also serve as an acoustic or thermal dampener
- 8. WINDOW BLINDS • Blinds are a perfect way of ensuring that you can keep your windows open for fresh air and still continue to enjoy privacy. • Presto brings into your living room these beautiful green coloured jacquard blinds for windows, doors and long doors.
- 9. • A window blind is a type of window covering. • Blinds made of fabric can either be rolled up thanks to a thin cord and small horizontal slats (Roman blind), folding blinds with no horizontal slats create a less structured look (Austrian blinds). • Many fabrics are used including cotton, polyester, wool, viscose and silk to create the blinds. • A silk cloth can be present or embroidery stitch, which will give tissue varied terrain. • If you combine silk and cotton, it is possible to achieve a two-layered fabric, similar to the skin of the animal. • Venetian blinds, both horizontal and vertical, are available in a number of man-made materials (either resembling wood or metal or simply plastic).

- 11. CUSHIONS • A cushion is a soft bag of some ornamental material, stuffed with wool, hair, feathers, polyester staple fiber, non-woven material, or even paper torn into fragments. • It may be used for sitting or kneeling upon, or to soften the hardness or angularity of a chair or couch. • A cushion is also referred to as a bolster, hassock, headrest and a sham.
- 12. • Cushions and rugs can be used temporarily outside to soften a hard ground. They can be placed on sun loungers and used to prevent annoyances from moist grass and biting insects. Some dialects of English use this word to refer to throw pillows as well. • Cushions were then often of great size, covered with leather, and firm enough to serve as a seat, but the steady tendency of all furniture has been to grow smaller with time. • the cushion is considered an upholstery item.

- 16. TAPESTRY FABRIC • Tapestry is a form of textile art, traditionally woven on a vertical loom. • Tapestries are mostly found in high quality museums. Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible. • In tapestry weaving, weft yarns are typically discontinuous; the artisan interlaces each coloured weft back and forth in its own small pattern area. • It is a plain weft-faced weave having weft threads of different colours worked over portions of the warp to form the design.
