Interior Textiles Fabrics, Application, and Historic Style
Karla J. Nielson
About the book
Textiles are the most important material that an interior designer works with. The application of upholstery, wall coverings, window
treatments, linens and rugs/carpeting in a room help create the interior space, and is more than mere decoration. The interior designer
must know the process of textile specifications, selection, installation, and maintenance. Additionally, an understanding of the
properties of fabric types, and a historical context of textile styles, are essential for a professional designer.
This book specifically addresses textiles as they are used in interior design. There are courses and texts that cover textiles and fabrics
in fashion design and construction programs, and the related field of textile design and manufacturing. All books on textiles must
include the technical and scientific aspect -- but the application differs -- depending on the field one is in.
