FABRIC STYLESFABRIC STYLESThe importance of interior soft decoration lies in the fact that it endows a

space with certain qualities and tastes. If we take hard decorations as skele-

tons of our body, then soft decorations are the clothes we wear. As the charm

of a person is shown through the clothes he or she wears, a space stands

out with soft decorations revealing its taste. Soft decorations dress interior

spaces with different effects, modest, luxurious, or noble. All styles could be

realised by soft decorations.

Soft Decoration: A New Direction of Interior Design

A space is not only a place where we live, but also a harbour for our souls. A bit of wisdom is in-

dispensable to interior design in that a good design could vitalise life by integrating itself into it. It

even goes beyond that to approach our souls and become an integral part of our spiritual pursuit.

Interior soft decoration is an important way to show wisdom in interior design. Fabrics are not only

adopted for the elegance of an interior space; more importantly, they are to reveal details in our

life, that would enhance the quality of the space, characterise it and create certain taste for it.

The importance of interior soft decoration lies in the fact that it endows a space with certain quali-

ties and tastes. If we take hard decorations as skeletons of our body, then soft decorations are the

clothes we wear. As the charm of a person is shown through the clothes he or she wears, a space

stands out with soft decorations revealing its taste. Soft decorations dress interior spaces with

different effects, modest, luxurious, or noble. All styles could be realised by soft decorations.

Furthermore, soft decoration plays a key role in an interior space by making it sense emotional

with a particular spirit. With soft decorations, a cold space becomes warm. No matter for resi-

dences, hotels, or other public spaces, interior design should emphasise the creation of particular

atmospheres, which would pull inhabitants or customers closer to the spaces. We nd soft decora-

tions quite helpful in achieving this goal. Soft decorations make spaces organic and live, instead of

cold and dead. A live space is to communicate with people in it, not to enclose them only.

The application of soft decorations can be various, with which, you can make a space light and

soft, or colourful and fervent. Different people like different atmospheres; thus they require differ-

ent ways of applying soft decorations. Besides, what is important is that soft decorations are quite

exible. You can change them at will.

Interior soft decorations include window curtains, curtains, carpets, tablecloths, cushions, as well

as beds and sofas.Textile is the most commonly used soft decoration. From a visual or tactile per-ception, textiles make us feel soft and warm. Particularly in the modern context where hard and

cold reinforced concrete dominates our spaces, appropriate adoption of textiles could soften the

hardness and warm the coldness. In interior spaces, the amount of textile used has become an

important aspect to measure the quality of interior soft decoration. Furniture is also important in

interior spaces, which has gone beyond its basic functions; more importantly, it is a kind of decora-

tion itself. Nowadays people are becoming increasingly aware of the decorative effect of furniture.

Especially sofas and beds, as the main components in interior spaces, have become an integral

part of soft decoration.

This book covers two categories: Textile and Furniture Fabrics. The latest decoration design con-

cepts are included here with abundant exquisite pictures. The book introduces to its readers the

designs of soft decorations and their inuence in interior design.

As c oncepts like decor ation and cloth art appear,

interior textile decoration is becoming a materialised

culture. Textile conquers space has become a

convincing principle in interior soft decoration. Textile has

some distinctive charm. On the one hand, it shows the

softness of a space; on the other hand, it expresses our

emotions. Textile in an interior space has become the

emotional link between people and the spaces in modern

architecture. Textile helps create certain atmospheres for

spaces. Textile in different forms, colours, and produced

with different crafts would bring to a space different visual

experiences and atmospheres.

Textile exists in interior spaces in various forms, including

window curtains, curtains, carpets, tablecloths, etc. Pieces

of textile could be hung or spread, adopted for a large

area or just for a corner of a table. Whatever way, if used

properly, a piece of textile could positively influence our

visual and psychological perception. Furthermore, textile

in the interior would even be our way of life, or something

special for sentiment. The creation of space atmosphere,

and the psychological impact it brings depend on the

choices of the textile in terms of colour, craft, pattern,

etc. Colour is the most direct way to influence our

perception. According to ones habits, we could choose

different colour palettes, with different colours consistent

with each other or in sharp contrast. Different styles

suit different ways of thinking and living. In interior soft

decoration design, the use of textile could create a unied,

harmonious visual experience. For example, if you tend to

highlight the sense of luxury in a space, you could have

exquisitely-designed patterns on the textile. Pattern is

also a key element in interior textile decoration. Various

patterns combined with different ways of decoration would

create the space atmosphere we desire.

Window curtains are most frequently used for interior decoration. In interior spaces, window curtains not only function

as sun-shading, dustproof, sound-proof tools, etc., they also serve as a kind of decoration. To some extent, window

curtains decide the expression of a room, and reect the owner's life style and taste.

The decorative function of window curtains is realised through the choice of colours, patterns, texture, and decorative

styles. Colour is the most direct way to create certain effects. Different colours have different connotations with them,

and thus would have different impacts on people. Pattern is an effective way of connecting window curtains to our

minds. Simple or exquisite, different patterns suit different needs of mind. The choice of texture of window curtains

could also inuence our perception. Gauze curtains would feel soft, while heavy cloth curtains would feel warm anddignied.

Minimalist window curtains could add a modern sense to a space. Here, without any traditional decorationelement, the colour and the fabric of the window curtain are highlighted. The space is lled with an apparentsense of simplicity and purity.

In this interior design, the colour palette is harmonious and coherent, with the colour of the window curtain inaccordance with that of the furniture and the fabric. The ambience of the space is hence created.

The colour palette of a window curtain plays an important role in the creation ofthe ambience of a space. Usually in interior decoration design, the colour of thewindow curtain should go with the colour palette of the space, in order not to causeany jump in the tone. Consistent in the colour palette, the window curtain wouldnaturally become an integral part in the interior design.

In interiors of European classical style, colour palette is often highlighted in order to createthe sense of luxury in a space. Pattern and other additional ways of decoration are alsoimportant. Here, rich and bright colours are adopted to bring a strong visual effect anddelicate patterns and tassels are also extensively used.

In practice, when designing a window curtain, the size and the type of thewindow (whether it is a French window) should be taken into consideration.Large oor-to-ceiling windows would match heavy and giant curtains.

When window curtains are withdrawn, spaces would become bright andopen; when they are closed, the interior spaces would be isolated from the

outside, offering a sense of privacy.

In order to achieve an elegant ambience in the space, the window curtains in this project areparticularly designed with hollowed-out patterns, making the curtains more delicate and offeringthe space more permeability. A flimsy sheer curtain is adopted here, bringing out a sense ofobscurity and elegance.

Here, baby blue, as the primary tone, brings a cool feeling in a hot summer.

Here is the design for the window curtain in a childrens room. To match the natureand age of children, the colour palette of the soft decoration is not very intense.

Pattern is an important element in curtain design. With patterns,window curtains would be more decorative.

In this project, to match the elegance of the space, the window curtainis designed to be off-white, and the circle patterns are adopted. Withsuch soft decorations, the entire space feels pure and elegant, and

an ambience is thus created.

When it is slightly pulled open, warm sunshine would cast soft lightinto the room, producing a leisurely air, just suitable for those who have been busy all day long. It wouldbe pleasant to sit in such a room to enjoy the warm afternoon sunshine.

Curtains are a kind of very practical textile in interior decoration. They divide big spaces into pleasant small ones; they

demarcate as well as highlight certain sub-spaces. Apart from dividing spaces, curtains could enhance the privacy of

a space. Therefore, in a space enclosed by curtains, people would feel closer and safer. Consequently, it would be

easier to establish certain atmosphere and sentiment for the space.

As soft decoration is attracting more and more attention, the decorative function of curtains is increasingly highlighted.

On the one hand, curtains with their own textures, patterns and colours, as carefully designed, could be visually

pleasant themselves; in this sense, they are pieces of decoration naturally hanging there. On the other hand, curtains

are decorative for their function of covering, for the elegance of a space. Curtains could be used to cover some

unsatisfactory corners or to conceal something not very pleasing for the eye. Thats a more important aspect for thedecorative function of curtains.

Usually there are two kinds of curtains in the interior. One is the curtain hung around a bed, which is separated from

the rest of the space when the curtain is closed; inside there would be a closed, private space. When the curtain is

pulled, it becomes a kind of decoration for the bed, revealing a sense of intimacy and romance. The other is used as

soft partition to demarcate certain spaces. A comparatively big space could be divided into two or more parts. In this

way, we could make use of space more effectively without breaking the elegance of it.

Nowadays as we begin to pursue a simple life, modern style interiordesigns are more and more preferred. In interior decoration, we wouldexpect the comfort achieved with simple forms. The curtain in the space,as shown in the picture, well exemplies this idea. Such a simple form ofdecoration successfully offers the space the theme of romance.

Carpets


29/122

Carpets in interior spaces could offer a bit of warmth, especially when you are tired, and could give the simple oor

under your feet a surprise. As people become more and more interested in the personalisation of life styles, carpets,

as an integral part of fashion furnishings, are becoming a key element in interior textile decoration.

Carpets in the interior are both functional and decorative. The functionality of carpets refers to the comfort it brings to

a room. Compared with cold tiles, soft and textured carpets could offer a warm experience. With the improvement of

our living conditions, such basic function of carpets is gradually fading, while the decorative function is more and more

highlighted. In interior decoration design, a piece of carpet would be decorative in two aspects: pattern and colour.

Pattern is the language of carpets in the interior in that it is through patterns that the carpet communicates with

and integrates into the interior, for the creation of a certain atmosphere in the space. On the carpet, there could becomplicated contents of drawing, or, there could be simple gures only. In either way, a certain atmosphere in the

space would be created. Likewise, the choice of colour could enhance the decorative function of carpets. Simple,

elegant, or fervent, different colours would bring us different visual and psychological experiences. This is especially

true with a coloured oor; it would make the space feel more decorated.

Besides, different textures would achieve different effects. Velvet, silk, linen, cotton, wool, etc., different textures not

only differ in visual effects, but also help create different atmospheres.

Fabric Styles 056

Carpets would not only impress people as being warm and soft, but also,with decoration elements such as colour and pattern, create visual andpsychological effects. Therefore, carpets are indispensible in interior softdecoration.

In this project, the carpet spreads on such a large area and thus plays theleading role in the soft decoration. In terms of colour, the carpet goes wellwith the colour palette of the space. Brown is used to produce a soothingand calm atmosphere.

Public spaces are comparatively more open and spacious. Carpets in largeareas would help create the magnicence and nobleness of the space. Awide carpet would be more decorative and impressive when there are giantpatterns and rich colours on it.

In the picture above, the pattern on the carpet wellcorresponds the furnishings in the space. Here the patternis not merely a decoration element; it becomes the focalpoint of the space.

In this interior decoration, the colour palette of the carpet is morehighlighted than its pattern. Rich colours are adopted in the room, in whichyou would unconsciously be enchanted by the irresistible appeal.

Fabric Styles 064

Colour is an eternal theme in interior design. In this project, blue andorange are combined for the colour palette of the carpet, to match thestripes on the sofa. The cool style would visually leave an impression oftransparency, subtly affecting your mood.

In this project, the pattern design of the carpet corresponds with that of theceiling, making the ceiling and the oor in concert with each other. In thisway, one feels the space as a whole with an intense visual impact.

Cushions are a kind of decorative textile that has been conceived comparatively more practical. In interior spaces,

cushions appropriately designed could serve their basic functions; more importantly, they could be perceived as

strongly decorative and thus reveal the owner's taste and help create an intimate and elegant atmosphere.

Cushions


46/122

Cushions are practical because they are very useful on sofas and beds to make us feel soft and comfortable. With

cushions, we sit or lie more comfortably to ease fatigue effectively. Besides, it is easy to use cushions in various

places due to their exibility.

Compared with practicality, the decorative function of cushions is getting more and more important for us. Cushions

are decorative also for the two aspects mentioned above: pattern and colour. Different types of patterns on cushions

would offer different visual effects. For example, cushions with dark patterns would give a noble sense, which is

suitable for luxurious interiors. Cushions with brightly-coloured patterns would be appropriate for spaces with amodern style. Warm-colour patterns suit elderly people, while cold-colour patterns are preferred by the young and

cartoon patterns by children. The use of colours on cushions could accommodate different atmospheres. For example,

when the colour palette in a space seems monotonous, we could use bright-colour cushions to liven it up. On the

contrary, when there are already diverse colours in a space, light-colour cushions are preferred to temper the colour

palette in order to reach a balance.

Tablecloths are usually used on tables for cleanness and elegance of the space. In the interior, a tablecloth is

both practical and decorative. Its practicality lies in its basic and natural function to keep a table clean and

tidy. Meanwhile, its mild texture would make us feel soft and warm. In restaurants, particularly, tablecloths are

indispensible. They would soften the atmosphere of the space, and reduce the possibility of abrasion between the

dinnerware and the table.

In living spaces, tablecloths are more decorative than practical. Thus in interior design, designers are attaching more

Furniture is a main part of interior decoration. Apart from basic

functions, furniture serves with important decorative functions

as well, creating certain relationship between human and space.

When choosing furniture for a space, in addition to caring about

its practicality, more importantly, you should take into account

FurnitureFabrics


69/122

y y y

the overall atmosphere of the given space and accordinglychoose appropriate furniture, bearing in mind the style, form and

colour you desire for the ultimate best decorative effect.

Furniture could express our attitudes towards life. In this sense,

it is a symbol of life in interior spaces. A piece of furniture itself

doesnt possess any sentiment. However, when used in a space

and linked to human being, it becomes a tool of expressing

sentiments. In an interior space, furniture should be designed not

only to meet our basic needs in daily life, but more importantly to

embody the overall ambiences, and even to reveal the owners

taste, interests, education background, and even his profession.

Two factors should be considered for furniture design. Firstly,

the overall atmosphere and layout of the space. Spaces with

different conditions would require different choices of furniture.

Secondly, the creation of decorative effects of furniture. Proper

furniture decorations could form a strong sense of spatial

rhythm. The special language of decoration could express

certain tastes and sentiments.

Furniture is decorative in interior spaces in two aspects: colourand texture. Furniture in different colours brings different visual

and psychological experiences. For instance, tint-colour furniture

would feel light and soft, natural colours intimate and elegant,

and cold colours fashionable and modern. We should choose

the colours of furniture according to the colour palette of a given

space. The colours should be consistent and harmonious. The

texture of furniture is another key factor that affects its decorative

effect. Wooden, metallic, glass, textile, etc., different kinds

of texture would bring out different styles and ambiences for

spaces. Of course, you could choose according to your personal

preferences.

Among all kinds of furniture that serve their decorative functions

in interior spaces, sofas and beds are the most representative.

Sofas and beds are the dominating part of furniture in terms of

decoration. They are the main bodies in interior spaces. Any

interior decoration design starts with the design of sofas and

beds.

Fabric Styles 136

Sofas are the most important and most frequently-seen pieces of furniture in interior spaces. Beds are usually

conned to bedrooms, while sofas can be placed in any space except toilets. Sofas could be the main part of furniture

in sitting rooms, and could also be in bedrooms as something complementary. Sofas appear in homes as well as in

ofces. In fact, in any place where human being would have any kind of activity, there could be sofas. Among all kinds

of furniture, sofa is the one that provides us with a comfortable rest and the one we touch most.

The practicality and decorative effect of sofas can be combined perfectly. As the tempo of life becomes more and

more fast, we are facing increasing pressures from all aspects. Consequently, what we ask from sofas is not only the

comfort they bring, but more importantly their decorative effects, which are created in terms of two aspects: texture

and colour. Sofas with different kinds of texture could effectively create different decorative effects. Fabric sofas,

leather sofas, etc. would bring different visual and tactile experience. As for colour, we define it as an important

aesthetic element Colours could reveal senses of weight time density etc thus creating different effects

Sofas in bedrooms could help create cozy spaces, relaxing for both body

and mind. Designers usually attach more importance to their decorative

effects. As shown in the picture, the images of red ower on the sofa, as a

decoration element, contribute to a fervent atmosphere of the space.

Bedrooms can be in cold tones. In the picture, the blue sofa dominates the

decoration of the space, effectively creating a calm, cool atmosphere.

Soft decoration is a highlight in this interior space. The colour palette and

Meanwhile, a comfortable sofa is placed at theend of the bed, which is thus no longer the sole leading piece of furniture inthe bedroom. Besides, more opportunities are offered for entertainments.

Usually sofas in bedrooms would be placed with their backs facing the

beds, in order to create two independent areas. However, have you everthought of the opposite way? What if we place a sofa facing the bed? In thepicture below you would nd the answer.

sofas are just suitable for the nature of children, making the room feel lively.They go well with the colour palette of the entire space, producing a warmand fragrant ambience.

The bed is the most important furniture in a bedroom, and also the closest to us. We spend a rather big part of our life

in bed. Moreover, we conceive it as a harbour for our soul. We have been attaching great importance to the design

of bed in the interior. In ancient China, for example, beds could be extremely exquisite; there would be delicate

engravings and curtains around, making it seem like a little pretty house. In the classical interior design in Europe,

beds are also emphasised. Similar to the ancient Chinese design, designers devoted to European classical style also

pursue neness, revealed not only in the choice of texture and colour, but also in details. With the rise of modernist

decoration, we become longing for a rather simple and modern decoration effect. This could be felt in the design of

beds, where elements such as colour, line and lighting are enormously employed to inuence interior ambiences.

of the whole bedroom.

Colour is the eternal theme in interior design. For beds, the applicationof colours would usually produce surprising effects. In this space, the red

bedspread, headboard and wall paper make the room extremely fervent.

Here the pink bedspread is adopted as the decorative element for the bed,and a romantic mood is easily achieved. Pink is reminiscent of the maid,

enchanting and intangible.

placed on the head of the bed, adding a bit of softness to the elegant style.
