5 important details we always consider when choosing fabrics

1. Sunlight can damage the fabric

Even the most beautiful fabric can fade if your windows face the sun.

✔️ We always assess how much light enters the room and choose fabrics that retain their appearance over time, even in bright sunlight.

2. Natural fabrics have their own character

Linen, silk, and cotton look stunning — but they can wrinkle easily, shrink when washed, or lose their shape in large volumes.

✔️ We offer a great selection of natural fabrics, but we’ll always explain their characteristics and help you choose the best option for your interior and lifestyle.

3. Texture plays a big role

A flat, smooth fabric can disappear against matte walls, while a glossy one next to shiny furniture may make the space feel too simple.

✔️ We thoughtfully combine textures to bring depth, contrast, and elegance to your interior.

4. Fabric weight matters

Too heavy — and the curtain may sag and pull the rod. Too light — and it may lose its shape.

✔️ Our experts calculate the load, select proper mounting systems, and adjust the final curtain length based on the fabric's weight — so they won’t appear too long after hanging.

5. A fabric may look different at home than in a showroom

Lighting, wall colors, furniture, and even the temperature of the light can change how a fabric appears.

✔️ We visit your home with a wide selection of our most popular fabrics and test them on-site — so you can see exactly how they look in your real space.

🎨 Our collection includes thousands of fabrics — from minimalistic to rich textures and complex blends.

We don’t just show you options — we help you find the one that truly works in your space.
